Home homeowners just make it a point to paint the outside of their home every certain number of years. Some of these same people stick with the same color each time, too. There’s nothing wrong with that at all. However, if you’re a little less traditional, you may need more of a prompting to realize when it’s time to call up your local painting and painting company and get the job done.
Now is the Time for Exterior Painting
There are a number of ways you can decide if the time has come for exterior painting. It’s not the same as exterior painting because the outside of your house is exposed to different types of elements.
- It may simply be a matter of preference. You’re completely allowed, as a homeowner, to decide you want to update and upgrade even if you just painted your house the previous year. Maybe you want to freshen up and get a trendy color, or maybe last year’s fad is tiresome and you want to go back to neutral either way, if you feel like making a change, go for it.
- If the paint is peeling, bubbling, or cracking, there’s no reason to live with it that way. Curb appeal and pride of ownership are important and this is one way to make sure you can have both. Nothing can make a home look more rundown than unsightly paint due to poor condition. It can even make your house look abandoned which attracts vandals.
- How long has it been? The average house painting lasts approximately 5-10 years. Of course, that’s to be expected to be a shorter amount of time here in our area because of the heat and especially if your home gets a lot of direct sunlight. If you’re buying a pre-owned house, find out when the exterior was last painted so you have a rough estimate of when you should plan to have it done again.
