Look for Fading or Peeling

A fresh coat of paint can protect your home and make it look new again. But when should you do it?

If you can see paint flaking or peeling off, it’s a clear sign it’s time to repaint. Fading especially on sunny sides of the house is another sign.

Paint not only makes your home look nice, it protects it from weather, sun, and moisture. Once the paint starts to break down, your home is more exposed to damage.

Keeping an eye out for these signs can help you catch issues early.

Check the Wood or Siding

Sometimes the paint looks okay, but the surface underneath tells a different story. Look closely at wood trim, siding, or stucco. If it's cracked, soft, or shows signs of rot, it may need repair before painting.

We often tell homeowners: good prep leads to great paint. We’ll never paint over a problem we’ll fix it first.

Pick the Right Season

Spring, summer, and early fall are usually the best times to paint outside. The weather needs to be warm and dry so the paint can stick and cure properly.

If it’s too cold or damp, the paint won’t last. A good painting company will always check the forecast and plan for the best days.
