Exterior Painting in Aurora, CO
Exterior painting on Aurora houses by Semper Fi Roofing, from the Havana Street side of the city out to the far south-east subdivisions. Paint goes on last, in one of the two stretches of the year that suit it here, after everything above the wall is settled.
Where Paint Fits in the Order
On an Aurora street where every house took the same storm, the paint is what gets compared over the fence. It sits at eye level, so it's the part people notice. That's usually how a call about paint turns into a proper look at the whole house.
Paint is the last thing that happens to the outside of a house. It's worth having us look at everything above it and behind it first. A fresh coat over a wet wall is a short-lived improvement. We'll tell you whether the paint is the problem or a symptom of something behind it. We work Aurora houses every week, so what these walls have already been through is rarely a mystery to us. We're based in Aurora rather than working the city from somewhere else, and we cover every part of Aurora. Semper Fi Roofing is licensed and insured. Everyone we send to your home has had a background check. We coordinate the painting as part of the exterior project. That means one company for the whole outside of the house, not three. The inspection and the estimate are both free.
The Two Stretches That Suit Paint
The good months for paint here are squeezed at both ends. Spring and early summer is when the hail comes through. Painting a wall the week before a storm is money spent twice. Fall is the better run, right up until the nights start freezing, and here they start earlier than people expect.
Hail marks paint at eye level long before anything shows on a roof. Worth knowing before you paint over it.
So the order matters more than most homeowners are told.
- Get the roof, the walls and the gutters settled first, because all three involve working over the paint.
- Deal with any storm claim before the paint rather than after it.
- Aim for a stretch of settled, warmer weather with nights that stay above freezing.
- Expect the late-season window to close sooner in Aurora than the calendar suggests.
If the walls are due to be replaced, paint last. Doing it first is the most expensive way to do it in the wrong order. And what actually decides whether a day is a painting day is the overnight temperature more than the daytime one.

How an Aurora Paint Job Runs
- Walk the whole outside of the house first. That tells us whether the paint is the problem or a symptom of something behind it.
- Settle the roof, the walls and the gutters first, along with any storm claim. All three involve working over the paint.
- Start the color approval early where your neighborhood has a list. It runs on its own track, and it's the thing everyone ends up waiting on.
- Book a stretch of settled, warmer weather with nights that stay above freezing. Expect that window to close earlier here than the calendar suggests.
- Paint last, so the finish stays looking painted rather than taking the grit off everything worked on above it.

What Aurora Customers Say
Adam Mayka
Josh with Semper Fi came to look at my roof after the most recent hail storm and couldn’t have been nicer. He was honest, thorough, and explained everything about the inspection process in great detail. His attention to detail and communication made it a very comfortable experience. Albeit we don’t need a new roof, when that time does come I will be using Semper Fi and I will recommend them to all of my friends and neighbors
Todd Reynolds
Was very responsive. I was able to get what was needed in regards to our roof inspections on three houses quickly. And worked with our insurance agent getting the right information needed for our insurance needs. If you’re looking for someone that knows roofs and you need inspections or confirmations regarding your roof. Highly would recommend recommend this company
Zilvinas Sutkus
We had Semper Fi Restoration Inc. complete the roof on our 10,000 sq. ft. commercial building, and we had a great experience from start to finish. We had the opportunity to meet Joshua Bosley and worked mainly with Leo, our project manager. Leo’s communication throughout the entire project was top-notch. As with any large commercial roofing project, we ran into a few unexpected snags along the way, but the Semper Fi team stepped up and took care of every issue with no questions asked. They stood behind their work, kept us informed, and made sure everything was handled properly. It’s refreshing to work with a company that takes responsibility and follows through on what they promise. We are very happy with the finished roof and would definitely recommend Semper Fi Restoration Inc. to anyone looking for a dependable and professional roofing company. Thank you to Joshua, Leo, and the entire Semper Fi team for a job well done!
Michael Molina
There are a lot of Roofing Contractors out there so when I was referred Josh and his team by a close friend I knew there must be something different about them. From the first meeting with Josh and Daniel I felt comfortable and at ease. I had a lot of questions and they answered them without hesitation and in extreme detail which I appreciated. They helped me through the entire insurance journey and made sure I was covered before any work was done which helped lift that burden off my shoulders. Also, you will not find a Owner as diligent as Josh when it comes to QA/QC of the work done by his crews making sure the roof/gutters you get are up to HIS standards. I appreciate Josh and Daniel for getting the work done and definitely exceeded all my expectations. I don't usually write reviews but their work deserves some praise, I will definitely be referring them anytime I hear anyone I know is even thinking of getting or needing a new roof.

We had a great experience working with Joshua Bosley and Semper Fi Restoration after our home suffered large hail damage. They are honest, trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable. They held subcontractors to their high standards. This has been the best experience we have ever had with a roof replacement and other hail damage repairs. Working with Josh, Kat, and the team was a pleasure. We highly recommend Semper Fi to others! Larry and Darlene W.
Zachary Koch
I wanted to take a moment to leave a review for Josh and his team at Semper Fi Restoration. Josh came out the same day we called to provide an estimate and inspect our roof, and a member of his team completed the repairs first thing the very next morning. We truly appreciated the quick turnaround, excellent customer service, and quality workmanship in repairing the damage to our roof. The entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. I highly recommend Semper Fi Restoration to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive roofing company!
Lisa Smith
When my insurance refused to pay for my hail damaged roof, Semper Fi worked with my insurance to successfully get them to pay. They helped me with the entire process and communicated well. They were always available if I had questions. Their crew did a good job. They cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend this company.
Aubrey Monckton
I had a fantastic experience with Leo at Semper Fi Restoration Inc. He recently completed some roof repairs for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Leo was professional, honest, responsive, and clearly takes pride in his work. He explained everything thoroughly, showed up on time, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The quality of the repairs was excellent, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about doing the job right. It’s hard to find contractors you can truly trust, but Leo absolutely earned my confidence. I highly recommend Leo and Semper Fi Restoration Inc. to anyone needing roofing work or repairs. Outstanding service from start to finish!
Michael Kerr
Josh Bosley and Semper Fi Restoration recently completed hail damage work on our residence. Josh handled EVERYTHING with our insurance company. The work was completed on time, as promised. Clean-up was great. Josh came back and guaranteed we were happy with everything - including fixing two small areas that we felt needed additional work. He ensured we were 100% happy prior to moving on. He was a great communicator, very patient with us, and made us extremely happy that we chose him and Semper Fi. I rarely leave reviews - but would highly recommend him. Final note, our insurance agent recommended him to us and he was as great as advertised.
Sharine Webber
Semper Fi Restoration recently completed installing a new roof and we are so impressed with the service from start to finish. Leo Jett thoroughly explained the whole process and answered all of our questions. He was a huge help with the insurance claims and demonstrated a sincere desire to make sure everything was done professionally and to the highest standards. The crew were hard workers and also demonstrated the same commitment to completing the job right. Leo always followed up with us and made sure we didn't have any concerns or questions. We highly recommend Semper Fi Restoration!!
Jeff Cisneros
Josh is absolutely amazing, his service and follow-up is thr best I have ever experienced. The thing that really impressed me was his honesty after inspection, he shared that I didn't need a new roof. There are very few companies with that level of honesty. He has earned a customer for life.
Judy B
Leo Jett was fabulous! He walked me through every step of the process and made this a great experience. His customer service was more than I could have hoped for. After spending 25 years in the HOA business, Semper Fi would be a contractor I would recommend to anyone needing a new roof.

We worked with Josh and his crew to get our badly damaged roof repaired. Josh had no hesitation to get over as soon as he could walk the roof spent hours doing his inspection to make sure everything was covered not one thing was left out. He was very thorough. I am a person that wants to understand everything and he had no hesitation to explain and walk me through every process. I highly recommend Semper Fi Restoration. They are honest and will get the job done right
Exterior Painting in Aurora FAQs
When does the weather in Aurora actually suit paint?
Late spring, after the worst of the storm season, or fall before the nights start freezing. Those are the two stretches that give paint a fair chance here. The fall run is usually the more reliable of the two, as long as you don't leave it late.
Should I paint before or after a new roof?
After. Anyone working above fresh paint is a problem. Ladders lean on walls. Debris comes off a roof, and a tear-off puts grit down a whole elevation. Painting last means it stays looking painted.
My HOA has a color list. Does that hold things up?
Not if it's started early. If the color is changing, the approval runs on its own track. Start it before the quote is signed. Left to the last minute it becomes the thing everyone waits on.
Hail chipped my paint. Is that an insurance claim?
Sometimes, and it's usually part of a bigger claim rather than one on its own. Chipped paint is evidence about what the storm did to the rest of the house. So it's worth reading what a storm claim usually covers before you touch up the wall.
Why does the south side of my house always look worse?
Sun. Aurora sits high and dry with a lot of it. The south and west walls take years of that. The north side barely notices. It's the most common reason one elevation looks a decade older than the rest. Worth reading why one side ages faster than the others before you decide what to repaint.
My paint is peeling in one patch. Is repainting going to fix it?
Only if you find out why first. Paint doesn't fix a water problem, it hides it for a season. Peeling in one patch usually means moisture is getting behind the surface there, and that's the thing to solve.
Can you paint in the cold here?
Not once the nights are freezing. Paint needs the surface above a certain temperature while it cures, and an Aurora night in late fall takes that away. Which means the window closes earlier here than the calendar suggests, so it's worth getting the look booked before it does.
Do I have to paint the whole house?
No, though a partial repaint rarely matches for long. New paint next to weathered paint looks fine on day one. A year later it doesn't, because the old surface keeps fading. On a badly weathered elevation it can still be the right call.
Can I finance exterior work including painting?
Yes, we offer financing through Hearth. It comes up most often when the paint is one part of a bigger exterior job.
Which parts of Aurora do you cover?
All of it. The older central streets, the subdivisions in between, and the newer neighborhoods out east.
