3 SIGNS IT’S TIME TO UPDATE YOUR EXTERIOR PAINT THIS SPRING

1. Peeling Paint

If you take a look around your home and notice that you have areas of your exterior paint that are peeling, it might be time to give your local painting contractor a call and start picking out colors. These flaking and chipped areas of your home’s exterior aren’t going to get any better on their own, and will only continue to get worse as time goes on. As these areas continue to peel, crack, and come off of your home, the materials underneath your paint are going will become more susceptible to damage. If you find any areas around your home with bits of paint lying on the ground, but you can’t seem to find where they’re coming from, it could indicate that the paint on the upper levels of your home is peeling.

2. Dirty Exterior That Doesn’t Wash Clean

When the exterior surfaces of your home get too dirty, a good pressure washing, or soft washing in the case of more delicate materials, can usually help to remove these contaminants and leave the surfaces of your home looking fresh and clean once again. If you find that washing the sides of your home doesn’t seem to be doing anything to get rid of that dirty, worn look, it might be time for a new coat of paint. Investing in a new coat of exterior paint will help to get your home a fresh start, which is sometimes what’s needed.

3. Fading Color

Over time, the fierce rays of the sun will eventually start to fade and dull the colors of your exterior paint. What was once a bright, vibrant color can easily be rendered a faded, worn-out-looking version of itself over time. When that happens, it’s probably time to start looking at new color options. Applying a new coat of exterior paint to your home will help to instantly refresh the look of your home, even out the color, and give your home a well-cared-for look.
