  1. HOW LONG WILL YOUR EXTERIOR PAINT JOB LAST?

  2. A good exterior paint job is vastly associated with a home’s increased curb appeal and enhanced market value. An abode with subpar exterior, on the other hand, often becomes a neighborhood's eyesore. However, paint does much more than simply adding to your outdoor aesthetics. When done right, an exterior paint job will provide your home’s interiors an additional layer of protection against harsh climate and environmental conditions.

  3. Exterior Surface and Paint Colour Different exteriors have different lifespans, which decides how long a paint job will last. For instance, wood surfaces typically last five to seven years while stucco surfaces can go up to ten years before they begin to deteriorate. When it comes to paint colours, brighter tones will fade and will need to be painted sooner than neutral ones

  4. Comply with Proven Prep Practices Preparation plays a key role in ensuring a long-lasting paint job. One of the main reasons for new paints to chip is the paint underneath. Painting over a dirty, flaky, mouldy or chalky surface can make it difficult for the paint to properly adhere to the surface, resulting in an uneven finish. Whether you are hiring a professional or doing the job on your own, it is imperative to ensure a clean, smooth surface.

  5. Choosing the Right Paint Paying a little extra for quality paint initially can save you a lot of money and hassle in the future. Cheap paints can cause your newly painted exterior to fade and peel away fast. More often than not, acrylic latex paints are recommended by professionals for a long-lasting paint job. They are suited to most home exteriors and are considered versatile for being able to be used for both oil-and water-based primers.

  6. The Painting Process A home’s exterior experiences different weather conditions- windy, rainfall, humid, hot etc. To make sure your exterior paint lasts a long time in any weather condition, it is crucial to use multiple coats of paint.Some paint contractors may try to reduce the amount of paint used in a project in order to save their money while undermining the protection of your exterior surface.  Once your choice of paint is applied and the professional has left, the onus is on you to take the charge to keep your new exterior paint job looking good for as long as possible. Look for spots and stains that appear on your newly painted surface and wash them with a damp sponge immediately. Maintenance

  7. The Final Note When you are ready to spend a significant amount of your time and budget in painting your exteriors, it makes sense to think beyond paint colours and heed factors like quality, preparation, application and maintenance. Make sure you are doing everything viable to make your new paint makeover last as long as possible.
