How To Pick the Best Exterior Paint
Posted on October 1, 2021
Welcome back to our blog in today’s post we are going to explain how to pick the best exterior paint for your home. It’s important to remember that exterior painting cannot be completed during the winter months so be sure to start your project now before the Fall season is over! There are several factors that go into picking the paint match for your style of home or area that you live in. As always, Certa Pro of Germantown can assist with any type of home exterior. Read below to find out how!
Exposure to Climates – This is a big thing to consider when choosing an exterior paint for your home. How much is your home exposed to the elements like rain or sunshine? If you are in a heavily wooded area that gets a lot of rain you’ll need a paint that has moisture repellent. For homes that are in areas with more sunshine you will want a paint that has UV resistance. For colder climates or ones that experience snow, it’s important to pick a durable primer. This will keep the paint from chipping or peeling and that it will adhere to the surface in colder temperatures.
Color – Another thing to consider is the color that you are picking for your home. Some specific colors will have to be reapplied more frequently if they show dirt. Lighter colors will need to make sure they aren’t showing mildew or contaminants while darker colors could have the tendency to fade.
Material – What kind of material your home is made up of will also dictate which paint is best. There are specialized paints for brick homes, wooden siding, Hardi-plank siding and aluminum. Depending on which style of home you have, you will want to pick the best paint for the materials. Along with all the other factors as well.
As you can see there are many different aspects to think about when picking an exterior paint for your home. Also, dependent on each factor there are custom paints for your particular home or commercial property. The team at Certa Pro of Germantown can help with all your paint selection and project needs.
