Three Signs It’s Time to Paint Your House

Repainting House Does your home need a new paint job? It’s a chore many of us put off, but less-than-fresh paint can make your otherwise beautiful home look run-down. If you’re not sure whether it’s time to hire a house painter, take a look at these signs:

Your paint looks damaged

Cracking, chipping, flaking and peeling are signs that your house needs a new coat of paint—urgently. These paint issues are more than cosmetic; they’re a sign that your house may have wet rot, dry rot or mold that can be exacerbated by weather conditions ranging from harsh winters to humid summers.

Your house is on the market

No matter how new your kitchen appliances are or how beautifully you’ve staged your home, an aging coat of exterior or interior paint can turn off potential buyers. First impressions are important, so make sure you’re giving a positive one with freshly applied paint.

It’s been a while

It’s actually better to repaint before you start seeing issues like water or sun damage. Think about it: would you wait for your roof to cave in before replacing it? The general rule for new paint is 5 to 10 years, depending on the quality of paint used and how well the job was done last time.
