Benefits of a New Coat of Paint

A new coat of paint or stain adds tremendous appeal to your home, and goes a long way in helping you create the home of your dreams. If you’ve just moved into a new house, a new coat of paint can help you make the home your own. If you are thinking of selling your house, a new coat of paint will boost its curb appeal and can greatly increase the value of the property. Whether you are restoring an older home in Jacksonville’s Historic Riverside, or building a brand new home on the beach, a brand new coat of paint is one of the best ways you can protect your investment. A fresh exterior paint job also helps to mitigate the risk of weather-related damage to your house. Northeast Florida gets its fair share of direct sunlight as well as thunderstorms and heavy rain, all of which cause wear and tear to your home. A new coat of paint helps to seal and protect your home from these elements.

Exterior Painting Process
There is a method to exterior house painting, and before the first stroke of paint is applied, the house will need to be properly prepped. Prep work is an important aspect of any paint job, but it is vitally important for a long lasting and durable exterior paint job.

• Wash: It is critical to thoroughly clean the entire surface area that is to be painted. Florida climate promotes the growth of mildew, which must be treated and washed away, along with residual dirt and grime.
• Scrape and Sand: Old paint that has blistered and peeled should be sanded down or scraped away, and on older homes where lead-based paint may be present, extra care should be taken to protect the surroundings. Plants and landscape need to be properly protected with the right drop cloths, and flecks of scraped paint need to be collected in order to best protect the environment and your home’s surroundings.
• Caulk: Gaps in the trim around windows and other areas need to be caulked.
• Prime: The right primer needs to be applied, which will not only seal the surface, but will provide the best possible surface for the topcoat to adhere to.

The Best and Highest Quality Exterior House Paint
After the prep work, the house is ready for fresh coats of premium acrylic paint, in any color you may desire. It’s important to not only pick a color you enjoy, but to select the right type of paint that will provide the optimal level of protection for you home.
