Adding Value and Protection To Exterior Surfaces with Quality Paint

As busy as we are in life, and all the time we spend rushing in and out of our homes and businesses, we forget to take stock of how the exteriors look.

Then, when we do notice it, Time has already taken its toll.

Whether you’re looking for an updated color palette or protecting against weather, exterior paint can be your go-to solution. But, the last thing anyone wants to waste time or money on is a new coat of exterior paint.

So how can you tell when it’s the right time to repaint your exterior? Here are some reasons that may resonate.

5 Reasons to Repaint Your Exterior

1. Damage
   Signs of damage, like cracking, bubbling or flaking, are a clear indicator that you need a new paint job. Clearly, moisture has penetrated the paint covering and that can lead to mildew or mold under the surface if left unchecked. A fresh coat of paint will protect your home against future damage.
2. Fading
   Fading paint can bring down the value of your home and negatively affect homeowner values in your area. For a business, a tired exterior can make your business seem out of date too. A new coat of paint can give your business that much-needed boost in foot traffic or make your home the best looking on the block.
3. Selling
   Speaking of value, a clear reason to refresh your exterior at home is to put it on the market for sale. A fresh new color could improve your curb appeal and just may help you land that offer you need.
4. Time
   The majority of homes should get a new coat of exterior paint every 5 to 10 years depending on how well it was painted and what quality of paint was used.
   A handy guide to use based on the exterior surface is:
   • Wood: every three to seven years
   • Aluminum Siding: every five years
   • Stucco: every five to six years
5. Gaps
   If you notice areas around the exterior of your home or business where there are gaps, or visible signs of windows and doors pulling away from the home, it’s time to do some damage control. You will likely need to re-caulk some entryways and windows to fill the gaps, and likely you’ll want to refresh the paint while you’re there. A fresh coat of caulk deserves a fresh coat of paint.
