House Painting Tips

It's generally recommended to paint your house every 3-5 years to protect your siding, stucco, or shingles, as well as maintain a fresh looking exterior.

To prevent uneven drying from painting in direct sunlight, paint the north and west side of your home in the morning hours and switch to the south and east sides in the afternoon and evening.

The best time of year to paint your house is in the spring or fall when the temperatures are the most mild.

Definitely a good idea to give any property a fresh coat of paint every few years.

Doing so really helps in the long-term. The more regularly you apply a fresh coat, the less time you'll spend on preparation and repairs before painting.

Timber-clad buildings for example will deteriorate far more rapidly than masonry or brick buildings should the finished paintwork begin to degrade due to the elements.

On the microscopic scale, even though the paintwork might look fine to the eye, after a couple of years you already have small perforations in the skin of the paint, allowing the elements to get into the layers beneath.

Regular maintenance is the key to avoiding big repair bills in the future for sure.
