\"\"Exterior maintenance on your home should never be ignored, especially in coastal and waterfront areas like Oyster Bay.<\/strong> The best approach to keep your home\u2019s exterior in good shape is to stay on top of it. Large scale projects will eventually become unavoidable, but keeping repairs in check between will buy you some time. Here\u2019s an exterior painting checklist for your<\/p>\n

Our proximity to the ocean and water is something we cherish, but weather fluctuations and environmental conditions are strong and vast.<\/strong> Your property can start off a winter weather season in pristine condition and quickly fall apart. With the first thaw of spring, it\u2019s important to take note of damage the salty wind and freezing precipitation have done. If you find anything, you should consult the pros and schedule repairs post haste.<\/p>\n

How Can You Protect and Preserve Your Oyster Bay Home?<\/p>\n

Monitor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Keeping an eye on your paint will alert you to any failures early on.<\/strong> By looking for cracking and peeling, you\u2019re remaining vigilant against water intrusion. Waiting for a total paint failure will surely mean you are dealing with a more costly repair and repainting. Head it off early to save money and heartache.<\/p>\n

Wash<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our air blowing off the ocean brings in with it corrosive salt and other contaminants that are harmful to paint and stains.<\/strong> A regular pressure washing of your home will remove these chemicals and protect your paint film.<\/p>\n

Refinish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Paint is important, but so is stain. Stain will protect the wooden elements surrounding your home.<\/strong> Remember to refinish your fences, decks and porches with regularity to keep the wood safe from rot. Even with the best maintenance, our locale means more often replacement of wooden additions.<\/p>\n

Caulk<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sealant is so often overlooked when homeowners inspect their exteriors.<\/strong> Caulking provides a seal between structures and windows, trim and doors. These seals prevent moisture and pests from getting into your house. From freezing and thawing, the caulk gets brittle and cracks or falls off. Repair the caulk when you notice the failure. There are paintable caulks that allow you to paint over repairs once it\u2019s dry, making the repair invisible.<\/p>\n

Repair<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wood in this particular area is subject to salty breezes and the deterioration that comes with it.<\/strong> When rot begins to set in, it must be addressed. Most painting companies offer at least minimal repair services of this sort. They will also be able to recommend stains and paints to preserve the wood you do have and postpone further failure.<\/p>\n

Partner<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Finding a painting and repair company you trust for repeated repairs and maintenance will set your home up for success.<\/strong> Using qualified professionals for each repair and inspection will allow you to catch all problems early and have them repaired expeditiously. Using the same company also allows you to keep track of when changes in paint and repairs were made, as well as always know what color is on that wall. As a fringe benefit, you\u2019ll always have a bright and fresh home waiting to greet you.<\/p>\n
