The right paint colors can make your hotel seem more desirable and attract potential guests. However, fresh paint does more than make your hotel look appealing. It also protects wood and the materials beneath it from UV rays, salt, sand, and rain. The signs below indicate your hotel structure is suffering from extensive damage and could benefit from professional exterior painting services.

3 Signs It’s Time to Paint Your Hotel

1. Peeling Paint

If you notice paint starting to crack, peel, flake, or bubble, you need to act quickly to prevent water damage, wood rot, and mold and mildew growth. In some cases, peeling paint may be a sign of existing damage, so call in an expert to assess the structure.

2. Damaged Stucco

Cracks in stucco or damage to wood elements on your hotel’s exterior need to be addressed to avoid problems down the road. You can replace rotted wood with properly treated wood. When it comes to stucco, patch cracks and repaint the entire hotel so there’s no interruptions in color.

3. Fading Color

As paint is exposed to harsh UV rays and other elements, the color will gradually fade. Fading is typically a precursor to peeling paint, so if you catch it early, you can avoid more costly repairs due to water damage. Exterior painting will restore the protective barrier your hotel needs to withstand sunny weather and heavy rains.

The right paint will protect your hotel, and the right color will attract guests and keep your rooms filled. However, exterior painting is a major undertaking, so it’s important to work with experienced professionals like JD Painting & Decorating. With operations on Oahu, Maui, and Kauai, they can handle your project regardless of your location.
