Painters in Fountain & Security-Widefield, KS
Happy Painting paints and repairs homes across Fountain, Security and Widefield. This is a military community with a lot of post-war and 1970s-80s housing alongside new subdivisions, and the two need very different preparation. Free on-site estimates, including for homes being prepared to sell or rent.
What Fountain houses have to deal with
Two housing eras on the same street
Security and Widefield grew through the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and Fountain has added a great deal of new construction since. That makes for a genuinely mixed market: a 1960s ranch with original wood siding and several coats of history on it, and a 2015 build with fibre-cement and stucco, can sit a few blocks apart. They are different preparation jobs and different coating specifications, which is why a per-square-foot number quoted over the phone means very little down here.
Moving out, moving in
With Fort Carson on the doorstep this is a market with a lot of turnover, and a lot of interior work that has a date attached - repainting to hand a rental back, to get a property listed, or to make a new house feel like yours before the boxes are unpacked. Interior work runs year-round here and is not weather-dependent, which makes it much easier to schedule around a moving date than an exterior is. Tell us the date when you call and it gets planned around.
Drainage, soils and the cracks that come back
The expansive clay that runs through El Paso County does not stop at the city line. Recurring diagonal cracks off door and window corners, doors that stick in one season and swing in another, and stucco cracks that reopen after two repairs are all signs of movement rather than of a bad patch. Those want a repair detailed to move - and getting roof water away from the foundation is the cheapest prevention there is.

Every job starts with a free on-site visit, so the quote reflects the house rather than a guess over the phone — and the number in it is the whole number. Josh has been painting Colorado Springs-area homes since 2013.
Fountain painting questions
Can you repaint a rental before a move-out inspection?
Yes, and it is a common job here. Interior work is not weather-dependent, so it schedules around a date far more reliably than an exterior. Tell us the deadline when you call and we will be straight with you about whether it is achievable.
We are selling. What is worth painting?
Usually the interior first - walls and trim in a neutral scheme do more for a listing per dollar than almost anything else - plus the front elevation, the front door and any trim that reads as tired from the kerb. Josh will tell you honestly which parts are worth doing and which are not.
Do you cover Security and Widefield as well as Fountain?
Yes, all three, plus the newer subdivisions south of the city. There is no travel surcharge inside the area.
