Whether you’re looking to sell and worried about declining curb appeal, or are happy in your home but simply feel like it’s time for something fresh, an updated paint job should be your first step.
Not only does adding a fresh coat of paint immediately revitalize your home’s appearance, it can do a lot for long-term protection as well. But how do you know when it’s the right time to start looking through paint swatches? Here are the three biggest signs we think you should look out for before calling Ireland’s Finest Painting Company for a free estimate.
Fading
Colors are most likely to fade when exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time. That means your exterior is especially vulnerable, but be especially wary of siding – vinyl and other common siding materials are more susceptible to damage of this kind.
Cracking
Sometimes, when a house settles, small bubbles and cracks will develop in stucco. This kind of damage can also occur through other kinds of dents and dings, and is a relatively normal part of the lifestyle for this kind of exterior material. However, if the cracking is widespread, it might be an indicator that it’s time for some repairs and a new coat of paint to properly coat the surface and protect against further damage.
Peeling
If paint starts peeling off of an exterior made of brick or wood, not only will your surface appearance start to look shoddy, but it could be an indicator that another protective layer is needed.
