Reasons For Painting Your Home’s Exterior This Spring
Posted on April 26, 2022
Spring is here in full bloom, and there is no better time to revamp your home’s exterior! The structural style and exterior of your home is what gives it character and may even be the reason you fell in love with it in the first place. Here are some of the top reasons to paint your home’s exterior:
1.) Identifying and repairing damage.
Your home is probably one of the biggest, if not the biggest, investment you can make, so it is important to ensure that its value does not diminish over time. An exterior painting project can help you identify larger issues outside your home that you may not have already noticed: from mold, mildew, and water stains, to rotting wood caused by weakened paint. The good news is that once these issues are found and corrected, a solid, new paint job can prevent these damages from reappearing.
2.) Make your house stand out in your neighborhood.
We all want our home’s exterior to be the talk of the town, and one of the best ways to catch neighboring eyes is to keep the outside looking fresh. A quality exterior paint job is the most important part to boost your curb appeal. Consider your home’s overall aesthetic and choose a color that fits nicely with the landscaping of the property. Neutral colors, such as grays, whites, tans, or browns, are usually a safe bet, however, don’t be afraid to choose bold accents for the front door or trim to add a unique look to your home.
3.) Protect your house from seasonal elements.
A fresh paint job does more for your home’s exterior than just making it look great. Quality exterior paint can act as an added layer of protection from seasonal elements. This helps keep your home safe from weather damage, pollen, pests, and dust. The paint can even prevent exterior wood from rotting.
4.) Increasing resell value.
If you are thinking about listing your home up for sale, you may want to consider painting it first. Studies have shown that exterior and interior painting are projects that can yield a significant ROI when it comes time to sell.
We typically recommend painting a home’s exterior every 5 to 10 years, depending on the quality of paint and craftsmanship it was painted with last time.
