Jake Fairbanks from Ideal Roof &Exteriors Pros came out to help evaluate my roof and fix some flashing that had come loose. He was terrific and knowledgeable, straight forward and local! It seemed so old fashioned to get someone who knew what they were doing, were local, focus on what I actually needed, and not just trying to sell me something. I was glad to learn he does exterior repair and painting since I need help there, too, and know it will be straight up just what's needed and exceptionally well done. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

We selected Ideal for some minor repairs to the exterior of our house, siding and fascia, and they did a great job. We had selected Ideal to repair our roof after a major hail storm a few years back, where they also did a great job, so we felt confident to go with them again.Posted on Google![]()

We had such a great experience with Ideal Roofing & Exterior Pros from start to finish! We hired them to paint our house, and the entire process was smooth, professional, and honestly just a pleasure. Miguel and his daughter did an amazing job with all of the prep and painting. They power washed the house, repaired some old beams, caulked, primed, painted, and finished everything with detailed touch-ups. The attention to detail really made a difference, and our house looks like a completely new home! Aaron was a fantastic project manager and kept everything moving smoothly. The owner Jake checked in with us regularly throughout the entire project, which gave us a lot of confidence that everything was being handled properly. Even the initial estimate was easy and completely low-pressure. Christina, their front-of-house contact, was also wonderful. She provided us with a very detailed estimate and stayed in communication with us throughout the process, helping with paint selections, scheduling, and payment. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, responsive, and professional. From the first estimate to the final touch-up, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We absolutely love our new house and would highly recommend Ideal Roofing & Exterior Pros!Posted on Google![]()

I had an excellent experience with Jake and his crew. Everyone was professional, honest, transparent and I was not pressured as I had been in the past. The crew went to great lengths to be respectful of my property and dogs and keeps everything nice and clean. They were easy to get ahold of and collaborate with throughout the process. I’ve had multiple neighbors stop by to ask for their info because of their excellent work on my exterior paint job.Posted on Google![]()

We had Jake and his team out for a complete re-roof, with all of our decking removed and replaced. Turns out, we had insufficient venting that made our old decking begin to delaminate from the inside. We felt confident in the way Jake did things to remedy this and get all of the venting improved and working properly. Jake and his project manager, Aaron, couldn't have been better. Jake was honest, thoughtful and very supportive throughout the process, from the sales conversations all the way to final close out. Jake answered all of our questions and communicated clearly and fairly throughout the process. We were also compeltely replaced our insulation throughout the roof, in parts inaccessible via interior attic, and they supported us in doing our own scope in the middle of theirs. We are so glad we went with them and that we were comfortable throughout the process. We loved working with Aaron and were very glad to have him on site throughout the day and a half project. We had a few small damage items post-repair and we feel that Aaron and Jake went above and beyond to solve those. Since doing the roof and the new insulation, our homeowner's insurance decreased by 34% and we don't have to turn our AC on until the end of the day! We are thrilled and contemplating getting our poor-gutter design revamped by them next. We absolutely recommend Ideal for any of your exterior needs and they will be our first call on our next house.Posted on Google![]()

Exterior Painting
At Ideal Roof & Exterior Pros, we believe homeowners should understand painting costs before scheduling a consultation. Our exterior painting pricing guide helps Denver homeowners compare paint systems, understand project costs, and choose the right level of protection for their home.
Whether you’re repainting faded siding, improving curb appeal, or protecting your home from Colorado’s harsh climate, our guide explains:
Quality exterior painting starts with meticulous surface prep and premium Sherwin-Williams products. We don't cut corners on preparation — it's the foundation of a paint job that lasts. Whether you need a fresh look or protection from Denver's intense sun and temperature swings, we have the right paint package for your home.
Standard
$2
/per sq ft
Best for: Homeowners who need a fresh, clean look on a budget. Sherwin-Williams Latitude is a solid exterior acrylic paint with good adhesion and coverage. It’s their workhorse exterior product — reliable, good color selection, and a great value for homes that don’t face extreme exposure.
Typical Lifespan: 6–9 years
Elite
$2.50
/per sq ft
Best for: Homeowners who want paint that truly lasts. Sherwin-Williams Duration is a premium acrylic coating with exceptional adhesion, self-priming properties, and superior color retention. It handles Colorado’s intense UV, freeze-thaw cycles, and hailstorms better than standard paints. This is the sweet spot for most Denver homeowners.
Typical Lifespan: 9–12 years
Premium
$3
/per sq ft
Best for: Homeowners who want the best paint Sherwin-Williams makes on their home. Emerald is their flagship exterior product — advanced resin technology delivers unmatched color accuracy, UV resistance, and self-cleaning properties. If you want a paint job that looks fresh for over a decade with minimal maintenance, this is it.
Typical Lifespan: 12–15+ years
Deck & Fence Staining
$2 – $5
/per sq ft
Available Finishes: Transparent shows full wood grain with light color. Semi-transparent adds color while grain still shows — most popular for decks. Solid gives full color coverage, best for older wood with imperfections.
Decks take a beating from foot traffic, standing water, furniture, and direct sun. That means significantly more prep work — sanding, stripping old finish, cleaning, and repairing damaged boards — before new stain can go on. Fences are vertical surfaces with less wear and typically need lighter preparation.
Typical Lifespan: 2–8 years
