Fresh paint instantly transforms any surface it touches, whether it’s a piece of wooden furniture, a living room wall, or the entire exterior of your home. Houses exhibit numerous warning signs when they require exterior painting services, all of which reduce curb appeal. Keep your home looking fantastic by hiring painters whenever any of the following symptoms manifest.

When Do You Need Exterior Painting?

1. Bubbling Paint

Paint bubbles when moisture levels in underlying wood or stucco are high. Living in Hawaii or any other area susceptible to high humidity and rain increases the chances of bubbling paint and other moisture issues without proper waterproofing. Many exterior paints feature waterproofing properties; you can also use separate waterproofing products before paint application.

2. Mildew

In damp conditions, mildew often develops on exterior paint and siding. It eventually stains exterior walls and can contribute to bronchial health issues such as asthma and allergy flare-ups. Pressure washing and mildew-resistant exterior painting services protect your home against mildew and other fungal infestations.

3. Water Stains

Consistent exposure to water can leave stains on the sides of your home that affect paint texture and may encourage mold and mildew growth. Fresh coats of paint along with extensive cleaning and sanding will protect your home from further damage.

4. Wood Rot

Warm weather, moisture, and oxygen work with the fungal spores in the air to create wood rot, causing structural issues. Replace any rotted wood before utilizing exterior painting surfaces to maintain your home’s curb appeal and safety.

5. Chalky or Peeling Paint

Old paint eventually disintegrates, resulting in peeling or chalking. If you cannot run your fingers along your home without picking up chalky residue or paint flakes, it’s time to improve its appearance with exterior painting.
