Between cold winters and rainy springs, the exterior of your home goes through a lot year-to-year. With summer around the corner, it is the perfect time to start thinking about your home\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n
Look for these signs to see if your house needs fresh paint:<\/p>\n
Fading Colors:<\/strong> Pigments in paint react to sunlight, and dark colors fade faster than light colors.\u00a0<\/strong>If you are noticing this on your own home, it\u2019s time for a new coat.<\/p>\n Cracks or Peeling:<\/strong> Weather and changing temperatures can cause cracks in paint. Water can sneak into these cracks, causing peeling and speeding up deterioration. These are signs that the paint has lost its strength and can\u2019t protect your home anymore.<\/p>\n Powdering:<\/strong> White, powdery residue on brick surfaces in particular can indicate moisture issues. It appears when water brings salts to the brick\u2019s surface. Addressing the moisture problem and painting the brick can help prevent further efflorescence.<\/p>\n Enough Time Has Passed:<\/strong> Even high-quality exterior paint will naturally wear down over time due to exposure to the elements. In areas with the New England climate, seasonal temperature swings, snow, rain, humidity, and sun exposure can all take a toll on your home\u2019s exterior surfaces. Regular repainting and maintenance help protect siding, trim, brick, stucco, and other exterior materials while keeping your home looking fresh and well cared for.<\/p>\n Thinking of Selling:<\/strong> Curb appeal\u00a0is important when you want to sell your house. If a paint job is old or was poorly done, this may affect your house’s performance on the market. New paint can make your home look modern, clean, and inviting.<\/p>\n Summer’s longer days and drier periods make it the ideal time to paint your home\u2019s exterior. A professional paint job not only boosts curb appeal, but also helps shield your home from the elements.
