Reasons To Paint Your Home’s Exterior This Spring

Spring weather is here, and there’s no better time to refresh your home’s exterior! The exterior of your home is what gives it character. It is also the first thing others notice about your home. Here are some of the best reasons to paint your home’s exterior this spring:

Make your house stand out in the neighborhood.

We all want our home’s exterior to the topic of conversation around the neighborhood. The best way to make your home stand out is with a fresh exterior. A quality paint job is the easiest way to boost your curb appeal. When choosing a color that fits nicely with the landscaping of the property, it’s important to consider your home’s aesthetic. In many cases neutral colors, such as grays, whites, tans, or browns, are a safe choice. However, you don’t want to be afraid of choosing bold accent colors on the front door or trim to add a unique look to your home.

Increase your home’s value.

If you are thinking about listing your home, you may want to consider painting the exterior first. Many studies have shown that exterior and interior painting projects can yield a significant return on investment when it comes time to sell your property.

Protect your home from the elements.

Adding a fresh coat of paint does way more for your home’s exterior than improve the aesthetic. Using quality paint on your exterior can act as an added layer of protection from natural elements. This helps keep your home safe from harsh summer/winter weather, pollen, pests, and dust. The paint can help prevent exterior wood from rotting or wearing.

Repair damage to your home.

Your home is most likely one of your biggest investments, so it is a good idea to protect its value over time. An exterior painting project will help you identify and prevent larger issues before they happen. The most common issues range from mold, mildew, and water stains to rotting wood caused by weakened paint. Catching these issues early will prevent a lot of headaches. Once fixed, adding a fresh coat will prevent future wood from wearing faster.

We typically recommend getting your house painted every 5 to 10 years, depending on the quality of paint and craftsmanship it was painted with last time.
