House paint looks great, but what else does it offer?
Exterior painting will add value to your home and give you improved value overall. Your curb appeal is enough to bring a smile to your face every time you drive home.
A new coat of paint also offers added benefits like protection from pests. Critters and creepy crawlies love to seek out penetrable places in your home and make your house theirs. Healthy, well-coated house and trim are protected from termites and other bugs that seek to destroy your home.
New paint provides added protection against the elements including moisture, UV damage, and other issues. It’s a barrier between your home and the outside. It’s a first line of defense to protect you from mold and mildew. The paint has the ability to be power washed and protect the underlying stucco or siding.
Is there time to paint before winter?
