When planning a home remodel, do you take into consideration the outside of your home? Often when a person upgrades the design of their home, the forget to include the exterior paint. It can be easy to neglect the upkeep of exterior paint, but the condition of said paint can make a huge difference in curb appeal.
Many home-buyers judge the exterior of a home harshly, because they consider a poorly maintained home to be a costly hassle, not a wise investment. The inside could be newly remodeled and upgraded, but a house with cracked paint can very easily be overlooked.
Other reasons for maintaining the upkeep of your exterior paint are:
– It can protect your home against the elements: The cold weather months can bring harsh storms that can cause severe water damage.
– Mold and mildew prevention: Paint technology has come so far that exterior paint can provide the strongest, safest mold protection.
– Protects your interior air quality: Low VOC paints emit fewer “volatile organic compounds” into the air as they dry, protecting the air quality for the entire house and immediate surrounding area.
