Five Signs Suggesting That Your Home Needs a Fresh Paint

Homeowners often underestimate the power of paint. Yes, we know that additional features in and around the home are enough to capture a new buyer’s attention, but a brand new paint job can rejuvenate the look of your house. 

With the right Vancouver home’s exterior paint, you will not only attract new potential buyers but also make your neighbours envious of the aesthetic appeal. But again, it is challenging to determine if your home actually requires a repaint job or not. To help you with that dilemma, we are here. 

Here is our list of signs that suggest your house needs a fresh paint job. 

1- Peeling or cracking paint

The number one sign that suggests you need to repaint your home is peeling, cracking, chipping or flaking of the paint. These signs mean that weather and various other elements have taken a toll on the exterior paint of your house.  And with peeling and cracking paint, the underlying materials become more vulnerable to exterior damages, resulting in mould, dry rot and even mildew. So, it is best to call the experts. 

2- Cracks in caulk

Caulk is used to sealing the joints on the surface and prevent them from damages. But over time, caulk can lose its elasticity and result in cracks. And when you notice cracks in caulk, it means that it is no longer doing its job. 

And since caulking is important before repainting the house, with an on-time solution, you can add aesthetic appeal and make the caulk last longer. 

3- Fading paint

Various weather elements can cause the paint to fade over time. Unless your home is covered under the shade of trees or mountains, you can expect the colour to fade away quicker.  Similarly, darker shades tend to fade away faster than light colours. So, when you decide to repaint the exterior, it is best to opt for lighter shades. 

 4- Outdated colour choice

It happens, a few years down the line, everything we once loved in our house starts looking outdated. And that is totally normal. In fact, if you feel things, especially paint job, looks outdated, you have a reason to repaint. 

Just ensure to work with a reliable contractor to increase the curb appeal of your home.
