Colorado Faux Painting is built on two principles: quality work that's genuinely artful, and reliable service on your timetable.

The artist

More than twenty years of house painting, and a lifetime of fine art.

Owner and artist David Gehrke has studied fine art and developed his painting skills throughout his career. That love of the work pushed his house painting company beyond simple painting and into decorative faux painting and fine finishing.

Today Colorado Faux Painting offers a full suite of house painting services alongside its decorative work — interior, exterior, cabinetry and color consultation — for homes across the Denver metro.

Our artists

Trained from the fundamentals up.

Our faux painting artists are trained in everything from the most basic to the most complex finishing techniques.

Their instruction is grounded in the fundamentals of decorative painting and Venetian plaster, backed by years of hands-on experience. The same care carries into our solid-color interior and exterior work, where our painters average two decades in the trade.

Cost vs. value

Backed by a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

Many contractors claim to be the cheapest painters in town, and the quality usually matches. We'd rather earn your business with value.

1–3%of home value for an exterior, depending on prep and whether windows are wood or vinyl/metal.
1–3%for an interior, from walls only up to walls, ceilings and trim.
Up to 6%for full interior and exterior together. A ballpark only — call for a detailed quote.
