\"Exterior<\/div>\n

With the historic SE Michigan windstorms last week, you may still be finding fallen branches on your roof, missing roof shingles in your yard, uprooted trees or damaged shutters. As you are examining any storm damage to your home, pay attention to the shape of the exterior of your home. There are many things you can do to spruce up your home\u2019s exterior, starting with a fresh coat of paint. How do you know if it\u2019s time to consider a new paint job? Here are four things to consider:<\/p>\n

Look for cracked, peeled or missing paint. Mildew and damp wood are also issues that need to be addressed.<\/strong> Paint acts as a barrier to the outside elements so you want to make sure the structure of your home is well protected.<\/p>\n

Is your paint faded?<\/strong> Can you remember your original paint color? If your white home looks gray or your red is turning pink, it\u2019s time to paint. Pay special attention to southern exposures. On average, you should consider painting your exterior every five years.<\/p>\n

Does the paint color match your home, style and neighborhood?<\/strong> The color of your home is one of the first things your neighbors and visitors will notice. Remember that curb appeal is essential to improve the resale value of your home.<\/p>\n

What was the quality of your previous paint job?<\/strong> Perhaps it was painted long before you made the home your own and wasn\u2019t done professionally or the quality hasn\u2019t held up to your standard of excellence.<\/p>\n
