Exterior Paint: When to Replace Your Paint

June 13, 2020 by Jim Pallarino

Over time, exterior paint begins to succumb to heat, cold and rain. The elements strip paint from residential and commercial buildings. If it’s been a while since you replaced your paint, then you may start to see rust-colored stains and chipping paint. If you’re worried about your building’s exterior, how do you know when it’s time to paint again?


Your Building Is Damage Prone

The exterior paint job serves as a line of defense against siding damage. The exterior of your building is constantly exposed to the elements. Weather, pollution and other factors can damage your home. It’s important that you invest in a new paint job if you want to protect your building from further damage.


Your Paint Is Low Quality

Low-quality paint does not last a long time. Consider your paint and the siding that you have. If you can see paint stripping in different areas, then you definitely need to think about reapplying another coat. Paint protects your building and you should always have a high-quality protective barrier.


Your Paint Job Is Old

If you want your paint job to look good and to function properly, then you want to make sure that you repaint every six to eight years. Of course, this depends on the paint you use and the siding composition, but this is a general rule that you should consider following. If you wait too long to replace your paint job, then you expose your home to damage.


An exterior paint job is about more than just aesthetics! Of course, paint increases your property’s value and provides curb appeal, but it also protects your building from the elements. You should consider investing in a new paint job if it’s been a while since your last job, if you can see flaws in the paint or if you fear your home or business is prone to further damage from the elements.
