A beautiful exterior painting job can boost your home’s curb appeal. However, when it’s not cared for, it can quickly become an eyesore. An exterior paint job is an investment, and you want to be confident that you’re getting the most from it. Here are a few tips to maintain your exterior house paint. 

How to Keep Your Exterior Paint Job Looking Like New

1. Pressure Wash

Gradually, dirt and grime will build up on your home’s exterior. To prevent these substances from damaging your paint, you should pressure wash the paint every few years. Rinse the exterior with a garden hose on a regular basis to keep it clean.

2. Address Mold & Mildew

Mold and mildew can grow on parts of your home’s exterior that don’t get much sunlight and can gradually damage the paint. In more serious cases, mold can begin to form beneath the panels on your siding, which could cause damage inside your home. If you notice any mold or mildew, apply a paint-friendly bleach to remove it.

3. Do Yearly Inspections

Minor damage to your home’s paint is fairly common, so do a comprehensive yearly inspection to look for issues. If there are any signs of damage, hire an exterior painting professional to restore the paint on these spots.
