With the bright, sunny summer approaching, you might consider giving your home a face lift with a new coat of exterior paint to improve aesthetics and also protect your home from the elements. Here are 4 indications that it may be time to repaint your home.
Cracking, Bubbling, and Peeling Paint:
Make time to take a walk around your home to inspect your exterior paint. If you notice any damage to your exterior such as cracking, bubbling, or peeling, it is a sure indication that your exterior paint–your home’s protective barrier–is damaged. Putting these repairs off can lead to further damage to your home, potentially leading to additional future costs.
Paint Discoloration:
As nice as the near constant sunny weather is in Los Angeles and the surrounding counties, the bright sun and UV rays can be damaging to your home’s exterior– especially in areas of direct sunlight. As time passes, UV rays break down your house’s exterior paint and expose the material underneath to the elements. If you notice your home’s previous vibrancy has dulled, call us today for a free estimate!
Chalky Paint:
Another easy to spot indicator your home may need a refresh is chalking paint. If you notice a powdery residue on your fingers after touching your exterior paint, it means you have chalking paint. Chalking occurs over time as your exterior paint degrades, but is often sped up by common Los Angeles elements such as sunlight and sea salt. For a free estimate, call us today!
Time:
Lastly, just as your roof or other aspects of your home has an age before replacement, the same applies to your exterior paint. With the varying weather conditions of Los Angeles–from the salty humid coastal areas like Long Beach to the intense dry sunshine of Riverside county–your exterior paint is expected to last about 5-10 years before it needs to be redone. As your paint reaches its life expectancy, its ability to protect your home diminishes. As such it is important to replace and maintain your home regularly.
Now that you have noticed you need a paint job, it is time to decide when and who to call to get the job done. These factors can greatly affect your end product. Weather and temperature can impact the application and appearance of the final paint job. For long-lasting results, paint your exterior walls in the Spring—after the heaviest rains and before the summer heat waves.
