The obvious and sometimes annoying reason appeared in your mail box, courtesy of your HOA, informing you that you need to paint the exterior of your home. There are several other good reasons to paint the exterior of your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weather<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you were waiting for the days to cool down, now is a good time. The weather is now milder and cooler than those long hot, humid days. Paint serves as the barrier between the elements and your investment. Over time, the sun can cause paint to fade and may not even look like the same color painted years ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Signs It\u2019s Time to Paint<\/strong><br \/>\nMost homeowners are not aware of the things that can fail with time until it\u2019s time to repaint. Take a walk around your house and really take a look at it. Is there paint peeling, are you seeing discoloration, or chipping and cracks in the stucco? Any one or all of these conditions point towards your house paint being at the end of its life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your investment \u2013 Increase the Value of Your Home<\/strong><br \/>\nYour home is probably your biggest investment. One of the easiest ways to increase the value of your home is get it painted. The increase in your home\u2019s value is typically much greater than the cost of getting it painted by a professional.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time Between Paint Jobs<\/strong><br \/>\nAll paint companies have different quality grades of paint for the exterior. In order to lengthen the amount of time between exterior painting, be sure to apply a high quality 100% acrylic latex paint. Exterior latex paint forms the most durable, toughest finish when the weather is not too hot or not too<br \/>\ncold and last 10 years or more, compared to ordinary paints, which often provide only four or five years.<br \/>\nQuality paint and quality of work performed extend the amount of time between exterior painting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The End Result &#8211; Curb Appeal<\/strong><br \/>\nWhether you stay with the original colors or pick a new color scheme, you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised what a major difference a new coat of paint makes in the appearance and curb appeal of your home. If selling your house, you want perspective buyers to go inside. A new fresh, professional looking paint job on the outside is more likely to draw potential buyers to the interior.
