Your home’s curb appeal is dependent on everything from the condition of your landscape to the paint. While you might tend to the lawn regularly, odds are you don’t consider exterior painting very often. Eventually, it may come time to repaint the surface and give your home a fresh, new look. Below are three signs that you should contact a professional to handle the job.

When to Repaint Your Home’s Exterior

1. Highlight the Structure  

Whether you want to give your home a makeover or plan to sell it at some point in the future, it’s worth investing in exterior painting for the aesthetic benefits alone. A fresh coat of paint will bring the dwelling to life in unexpected ways. It will call attention to windows and doors, especially when you add a different color to the trim that draws the eye to these focal points. New paint can also help better coordinate your home’s look to that of your landscape, especially if you’ve refreshed your flower beds and want to create a more cohesive look.

2. Resolve Existing Damage

A beautiful paint job will eventually show signs of wear and damage. If you notice that the paint has visible cracks, or if it flakes away or displays bubbles, then it’s time to have an exterior painting professional assess the situation. Issues such as moisture intrusion, rotting wood, and mold formation can all take away from the paint’s integrity. A qualified drywall contractor will need to fix the structural concerns before applying a fresh color in that situation.

3. Refresh Faded Paint

Over time, your home’s color may fade. Usually, this occurs after repeated exposure to potent ultraviolet rays. This may impact your home if you don’t have many shading trees in the yard. It’s also more likely to affect houses that are painted a dark shade. Consider selecting a lighter color to combat this problem in the future, and to revamp your home’s look at the same time.
