Why We’re So Picky About Our Exterior Home
Improvement Products In Southern Colorado
This Climate Punishes The Wrong Materials,
And We REFUSE To Sell You Short
Most people don’t realize how extreme our local climate can be until they’ve survived a few summers here.
You start to understand that choosing the right exterior remodeling products in Southern Colorado isn’t exactly optional when you see the effects the environment can have:
- A burn scar that used to be a neighborhood
- Hail that literally punches holes through a neighbor’s roof
- The UV at 6,000 feet that cooks the color right off your siding
For us at Peakview Windows, Siding & Stucco, those aren’t distant possibilities – they’re daily reminders. They shape every recommendation we make, every product we carry, and every installation standard we uphold.
This is the story of how – and why – we choose the products we do.
The Day Hail Changed Everything
Our owner, Shaun, still remembers the 2016 & 2018 hailstorms that tore Colorado Springs apart. When you think of hail, the first thing that comes to mind might be pea-sized pebbles. This storm was anything but.
This storm sent golf-ball – even baseball-sized – hail crashing into homes with such force that it literally punched through shingles, roof sheathing, and even interior drywall.
One home had to be completely gutted after water infiltrated the attic and soaked asbestos insulation. The owners spent months living in a hotel. It was devastating – but also revealing.
That storm made Shaun realize he needed to double down on what he already believed: Colorado isn’t somewhere you can experiment with cheap materials.
That philosophy is exactly why Peakview uses vinyl siding only for small repairs when a home already has it. Full replacements? Not in this climate – not unless a homeowner insists after hearing what they’re risking.
Most don’t.
Fire Zones, WUI Requirements & Zero-Ignition Materials
It comes as a surprise to a lot of people that this region is classified as a Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). If your home sits west of the interstate, there’s a really good chance you live in a high-risk zone where materials aren’t just aesthetic choices – they’re safety requirements.
You can’t just pick something because it “looks good.”
You pick something that’s non-combustible. Something that’s approved to stand between your home and wildfire embers traveling miles on the wind.
That’s why Peakview regularly installs:
- James Hardie fiber cement sidingSteel siding for maximum durability
- Acrylic stucco with zero-ignition ratings
And yes, every WUI job gets inspected by a fire marshal before the permit is closed.
This isn’t just compliance – it’s protecting families.
When A Warranty Actually Means Something
At Peakview, we honor every manufacturer’s warranty for every product we install. But that’s not where we stop.
We guarantee every installation with our lifetime craftsmanship warranty. When you work with us, you’re protected by the industry’s leading manufacturers and our promise that the installation was done correctly.
Choosing good products is essential, but even the best products fail when installed poorly.
And that’s why the quality of your warranty is equally important in the selection of your exterior home improvement products. We refuse to carry products and materials from manufacturers who won’t stand behind their word.
That’s why during COVID, we stopped carrying several products when the manufacturers could no longer honor their warranties or supply replacement parts. For us, it was an easy decision.
If a manufacturer can’t support our customers, we can’t support the manufacturer.
Why We Don’t Jump On New Exterior
Home Improvement Products
At Peakview, we’re not early adopters of new exterior home improvement products – but that’s on purpose. No matter how good a new material is advertised to be, it has to prove itself in the real-world conditions of the Colorado climate before we’ll even consider it.
Home exteriors take a beating here – dark colors fade faster, UV exposure warps lower-quality siding, and weather swings test every joint and seam.
So we watch, test, and study.
Only products that have been on the market long enough to demonstrate real-world durability get second glances. And that’s only if they meet strict criteria like:
- Will it withstand the high UV intensity of the region?
- Does the manufacturer truly honor its warranty?
- Will it withstand sudden temperature drops?
- Does it maintain its appearance long term?
- Will it resist the effects of hail impacts?
If the answer to each question isn’t a solid “yes,” we won’t spare another look.
The Products You Choose Aren’t Just
Aesthetic – They’re Protective
Every product we install has been vetted against the realities of where we live:
- Hail that destroys cheaper materials
- Wildfire risks requiring zero-ignition solutions
- High elevation that stresses every component
- UV rays that fade and warp lower-quality options
- Dry air that shortens the life of cheap paint and coatings
At Peakview, we refuse to make product decisions casually. Instead, we’re deliberate because you deserve a home that withstands the environment we live in and stands strong for decades to come.
That’s what it means to complete exterior home improvements in Southern Colorado.
That’s why we refuse to cut corners.
That’s why product selection matters.
