Reasons to Upgrade Your Trim & Soffits
While these may seem like small parts of the exterior of your home, these spaces can contribute to how much curb appeal your home has. When you have these surfaces freshly painted, they can really make your home pop. Many homeowners choose to have white, cream, or another neutral color applied to these spaces. If you have a brick home, a bright neutral can make your home look like new.
In addition to making your home more visually appealing, painting trim and soffits can add an extra layer of protection from the elements. When trim and soffits are not maintained, these wood surfaces may experience moisture damage and even wood rot.
Tips for Painting Trim & Soffits
The soffit is the wood of fiber cement boards that are located under your roof or porch. These surfaces exist to allow ventilation to exit from your roof or attic. Soffits are responsible for helping to prevent humidity buildup that can cause mold growth and other costly damages. Over time, these areas of the home will experience general wear and tear just like any other exterior surface. These issues can include paint peeling, chipping, and even color fading.
Your soffits and trim can be tricky to paint on your own without the proper tools. In order to achieve a streamlined look for your home’s exterior, we recommend working with a local team in East Tennessee. Not only does this take the stress of a home improvement project off of your personal to-do list, but you can expect results that exceed your expectations. Below are a few of the steps that may be needed when painting your trim and soffits.
- Cleaning the surface

- Replacement of faulty surfaces
- Filling in and caulking any holes
