Preparing Your Home’s Exterior for Summer Fun in West Las Vegas

Summer in Summerlin and West Las Vegas is all about outdoor living—barbecues, backyard get-togethers, and enjoying the long desert evenings. But before you start planning your next pool party or family gathering, take a good look at your home’s exterior. Is it ready to impress and endure the harsh summer sun?

At CertaPro Painters® of Summerlin/West Las Vegas, NV, we know the desert climate can be tough on homes. That’s why we’re sharing expert tips on how to prepare your home’s exterior—not just to withstand the elements, but to shine during the height of summer fun.

1. Assess Your Home’s Curb Appeal

Summer is the prime season for outdoor entertaining. The first thing guests (and neighbors) will notice? Your home’s exterior.

Walk around your property and check for:

• Fading or discolored paint
• Cracks in stucco or siding
• Peeling trim or sun-damaged shutters

Homes in the Las Vegas Valley are constantly exposed to intense UV rays and dry winds, which can cause rapid wear. If your exterior looks worn or dated, a fresh coat of paint can make a dramatic difference.

2. Power Wash for a Fresh Start

Desert dust, pollen, and grime accumulate fast—especially in spring and early summer. Power washing is a simple yet transformative step that can:

• Remove surface dirt and debris
• Clean up stucco and hardscape
• Prepare surfaces for painting or staining

Our team offers professional washing services to clean your home safely without damaging surfaces.

3. Repaint with Heat-Resistant, Fade-Resistant Products

The Nevada sun is unforgiving, and standard exterior paint often won’t hold up. At CertaPro Painters® of Summerlin/West Las Vegas, we use premium, UV-resistant paints formulated for desert climates. These products:

• Resist fading, chalking, and cracking
• Reflect sunlight to help reduce heat absorption
• Maintain their vibrancy even after months of sun exposure

A well-chosen paint not only protects your home—it enhances its value and style.

4. Seal Cracks and Gaps Before Monsoon Season

While West Las Vegas doesn’t get a lot of rain, monsoon season can bring sudden downpours. Take time to:

• Seal cracks in stucco and concrete
• Caulk around windows, doors, and trim
• Inspect eaves and rooflines for water intrusion points

This prevents moisture damage and keeps your home weather-tight while improving energy efficiency—crucial for those triple-digit days.

5. Update Outdoor Living Areas

Your patio, deck, or pergola should be just as inviting as your living room this summer. Consider:

• Repainting patio covers or fencing for a clean, cohesive look
• Staining wood structures to protect against sun damage
• Choosing paint colors that coordinate with your landscaping and outdoor furniture

We can help you choose colors and finishes that elevate your outdoor space just in time for summer entertaining.
