We all know that an exterior house-painting project can be inconvenient and time-consuming. Hiring painting professionals can make the entire process completely painless. Exterior painting is an excellent investment that extends the integrity and appearance of your home.
When it comes to the elements, paint is your home’s first defense. The outside of your house is also the very first impression that guests and potential buyers receive. When paint fades, chips, or peels, those are sure signs that your home needs a new coat of paint.
If any of the signs above are true for you, it may be time to get your house painted. Getting that fresh coat of paint now rather than later can keep your home looking new and prevent further problems in the future. However, it’s just as important to do it right as it is to do it at all.
Pay Attention to These Signs
Your exterior paint has a strong impact on your home’s appearance. Paint protects the exterior of your home from moisture and other weather damage. If your exterior paint is past its prime, it can cause problems for your home’s structure. Here are the signs to look for.
1. Flaking, Bubbling, or Cracking
If you’ve noticed any flaking, bubbling, or cracking in your paint, you may have other problems going on. They include dry rot, wet rot, or mold caused by failed weatherproofing. If a visual inspection reveals any of these signs, it is time to paint your home.
2. Fading
UV light tends to fade paint. It can even transform the pigment into a different shade. Beiges can turn into pinks very quickly when exposed to harmful sun radiation. Darker colors naturally fade faster than lighter ones. Abnormal fading rates can indicate problems with water intrusion. A new coat of exterior paint containing UV protection will minimize this change from occurring and make your paint last longer.
3. Hardened Caulk
Caulk is designed to move and settle with your house. However, as caulk ages, it begins to lose its elasticity. This can be caused by extreme weather. If your caulk is hard to the touch and was applied at the same time as your last repaint, it may be a good idea to schedule a fresh paint job.
4. Signs of Wear on Exterior Features
You might not see signs of paint wear on your siding or the obvious areas of your exterior. However, it’s important to check hidden areas too. Your fascia, soffits, and trim should be inspected for damage. Elements such as gutters, downspouts, and garage doors need to be inspected and repainted, just like the main house.
Architectural features to repaint include window trim, doors, and porches. While painting your siding, these areas need to be taken care of too. These elements will pop out and look more substantial if painted in a lighter color than the main house. This is a popular choice for houses with beautiful details. A new coat of paint will also extend their longevity and boost curb appeal.
5. Signs of Water Damage
Weak paint coverage leaves your wood vulnerable to water damage. Look for deep cracks along the wood grain. Soft spots can also signal rot. Water damage can lead to other issues as well, like mold growth. These are signs that you need a new paint job.
6. Perpetual Dirt
The exterior of your home is exposed to the elements, so it’s bound to get dirty. Over time, dirt and grime can become caked on. It reaches a point where scrubbing it won’t make it look clean. Some homeowners try pressure-washing, but it doesn’t always work. If this is the case for your house, it’s time to paint it again.

I highly recommend this company. They did an amazing job on my upcoming listing. They were also referred to me by another Realtor.
Will (owner) was a pleasure to work with and he is extremely knowledgeable in his craft, he is honest and takes the time to explain the process and what to expect.
Their set up is fantastic, they really take their time masking everything out. The paint lines are perfect and they stained a ton of natural wood, all the cabinets in the house and refinished the tile countertops.
My listing looks so beautiful 😍 they really pay attention to detail and the whole crew was super sweet.
I’ve already booked them for another upcoming listing and will continue to use this company and refer it out to others.
