Why your Spring Cleaning Should begin with Exterior Painting
Posted on April 26, 2021
The gray days of winter are quickly giving way to warmer spring days. Before you begin planning your fun summer activities, here’s why your spring cleaning should begin with exterior painting.
Protect
During the winter, your home was subjected to a lot of precipitation and all of the elements that come with colder months. This can cause damage to your exterior and wear down your paint. Rain, wind, snow and salt can all take a toll on your paint and cause failure. Once this starts, it cannot be stopped. Moisture intrusion underneath the substrate can allow mildew and mold to start, or worse yet, rot.
Repair
Once you take a walk around your property, if there are deficiencies in your home, now is the time to talk about repairs. Look for areas of chipping, peeling, bubbling or staining. These are all signs your paint is suffering and needs professional repairs. Catching these necessary repairs early can save you in the bill. The longer they are left unattended, the more severe the damage could be.
Aesthetic
New paint on your exterior can offer a crisp, clean new look. Spring surrounds us with color, so it’s natural to want to draw on that for your home as well. Even if you choose a similar color to your current exterior, a new coating allows a fresh look. Painting your exterior can add to the resale value of your home by updating our curb appeal while protecting your home.
Weather
This time of year allows us to paint without the heat causing film issues. The lack of dew and rain gives our crews long sunny days to complete your work. This means less time on site and less heat-related breaks. Your work will be completed in the most expedient fashion. While summer is traditionally known as exterior painting season, starting in the spring allows the perfect painting set up.
Scheduling
Again, because most homeowners flock to painters over the summer, getting started in spring can allow you to beat the rush. Estimates, crews and jobs can easily be scheduled with less wait time between estimate and production.
Estimate
If your house is in need of an exterior painting, don’t wait. Spring is the perfect time to take on this project so you can enjoy the results all summer. Schedule a free, no-obligation estimate appointment with our team now.
