When you live in an area like Chantilly, Virginia, weatherproof painting for your home is an essential step for responsible homeownership. The constant battering of elements, such as powerful rain, gustful wind, and harsh UV rays can be extremely damaging to your home exterior. However, applying the right exterior paint can help fight back against these inevitable forces of nature. In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know to get started on your weatherproofing project. If you have any further questions, please contact our painting professionals at 703-740-8302.

Why Use Weatherproof Coating?

First and foremost, let’s discuss why you should use weatherproof coatings on your home exterior. As stated earlier, harsh weather can damage the exterior of your home. However, this damage doesn’t just affect appearance. With exterior walls that aren’t protected from nature it is easier for water to slip into your walls. This can lead to problems such as mold and mildew. Chances are your paint is already chipping or flaking because of this problem. A weatherproof coating provides a protective seal while also ensuring that your walls can “breathe.” You can rest easy knowing that there is nothing gross growing under the surface of your home. Sounds great to me!

What are My Options?

When it comes to weatherproof coating options, the possibilities are nearly endless. You don’t even have to change the exterior look of your home if you don’t want to! A clear coating is available with most professional painting companies. However, if you’re looking for a new color or stylish finish to your home in addition to the weatherproofing elements, that’s also a possibility! There are also paints that are better at protecting your home from certain elements over others. For example, Valspar® Reserve ® Extreme Weather Paint + Primer with RainRelief™ has a different purpose than Valspar® Reserve ® Extreme Weather Paint + Primer with SunStopper™. A professional painter can help you choose the best paint system for your home.
