How the outside of your home looks is kind of a big deal. No homeowner wants to be the focal point - for the wrong reasons. You want your home's curb appeal to be the envy of the neighborhood and not the unsightly eyesore.
Working with a reputable painting company regularly is a good way to stay current with the appearance of your home. However, if you're not careful about the painting company you choose or you don't get around to maintaining your home's exterior often enough, you're going to run into problems. No matter how diligent you think you are about your home's upkeep, the way it looks will always reveal the truth.
Don't Let Your Dream Home Become A Horror Movie
Blistering, peeling, cracking are all symptoms you'd see a doctor about if it was happening to your skin. When it comes to the outside of your home, it's not something you should ignore either. If your home needs exterior painting or has recently been painted but is showing signs of distress, there are a few things you should know:
- Peeling - Peeling paint is often caused when a primer isn't applied and, eventually, moisture finds its way behind the paint. Before painting again, you'll need to remove the peeling paint, so the fresh paint has a pure base to adhere to.
- Alligatoring/Cracking - Cracking can happen to most paints, while alligatoring is specific to oil-based paint. It's a common problem that happens to aging oil-based paint, and repainting is the only real solution.
- Blistering - When the paint is subjected to too much moisture too soon after being applied, blistering is usually the result. Scrape and sand to redo the area, or make sure you hire a professional and reputable contractor to do the job in the first place and avoid this type of mistake.
