Book in winter. Paint when the label says go.
Exterior painting in the Front Range is seasonal for a simple reason: coatings have temperature minimums. Sherwin-Williams lists Duration Exterior as applicable down to 35°F; Benjamin Moore lists Aura Exterior at 35 to 100°F. What is not seasonal is everything that comes before the first coat, and that is the part worth doing now.

Homeowner questions
When should I book exterior painting in Colorado?
Over the winter. Getting the walkthrough, quote and colors done before spring means your start date depends on the weather, not on a painter's backlog.
What temperature does it need to be to paint my house?
It depends on the product. Sherwin-Williams lists Duration Exterior down to 35°F, and Benjamin Moore lists Aura Exterior at 35 to 100°F. Painters also watch overnight lows and shaded walls.
Can I get a spring exterior quote from photos?
With Painter Hotline, yes. Choose an in-person walkthrough or send photos; it is your call.
