Exterior painting is one of the few, must-do things around the house. Exterior house painting ultimately helps protect your home while increasing its value. Proper maintenance of your home will improve both curb appeal and help resistance again the weather. In many cases, house painting is something that is not typically well maintained and simply overlooked. Not maintaining your home’s exterior painting condition could ultimately cause wood and/or synthetic materials to fail, resulting in major repairs. These repairs could end up being more costly than painting the entire home. It is especially important to maintain your exterior paint coating if you already have problematic siding or trim. On average, houses are only painted three to four times in their total life span. Most people feel that they are saving money to wait the few extra years to paint the exterior of their home, when in reality, long term it will cost more money.

As your Raleigh exterior painting contractor, we emphasize at each initial exterior painting estimate that your exterior paint coating is never better than what you are painting over. Correct preparations play an important role in how long your exterior paint coating will last. Of course the more preparation it takes to achieve the best paintable surface, the more costly the project. However painting over bad surfaces of your home’s exterior simply doesn’t make sense and will not last. So don’t allow your home to go more than four to seven years without a fresh coat of paint. You will be glad that you did it!

Should I spray or brush?

There are many advantages and disadvantages to both spraying and brushing. Spraying allows a more uniform topcoat. Spraying also enables you to change colors easily. On the other hand, brushing in certain applications can be slightly more durable, but often shows unsightly lap marks while using satin finishes. When asked which one is better, there’s really no simple answer. Each exterior painting estimate is assessed according to your home's condition. Our Raleigh exterior painting professionals consider application options that are specific to your home. Our professional opinion is based on establishing the best possible results suitable to your home.

Having trouble choosing colors?

Stress yourself no further…. trying to choose colors that will work within your home? There is no reason to hire a decorator. With a signed contract, our Raleigh exterior painting experts will schedule a free color consultation. We will help you find the color that best fits your home’s exterior. We suggest that you use our color visualizer tool located in the upper right hand corner of each page. The Color visualizer has exterior color samples from both Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. As you are considering colors, it is important to understand that there is always a slight variation between an ink swatch and an actual paint color. It is always beneficial to get color samples and apply them to multiple areas during this process. Remember to look at all samples in natural sunlight. Unnatural light can give off the wrong undertone of the color.

Exterior painting tips:

Power washing your home each year helps preserve your home’s exterior paint coating.

All block, brick and stucco surfaces should be painted with products the will allow moisture to transfer.

Using better products, means less frequent repaints, resulting in saving you money over time.

Garage doors, gutters and down spouts should not be painted, unless they have been painted already, or are beginning to oxidize.

When you touch your home and get a chalky residue on your fingers, this is a huge indicator that it’s time to paint.

When considering colors, stay away from colors that are naturally subject to fading, which are reds, yellows and gray.
