Signs that exterior painting is needed!
When you start to notice loose or peeling paint or separations in the mouldings or a general breakdown in the finish of the paint, it is a sign to consider repainting. You can incur permanent scaring to the exterior of your home if the finish deteriorates to the point that extensive scraping and sanding are required. Of course this will increase the cost of the job also. On average, an exterior paint job should last 7 years before it shows signs of breakdown. In areas where extreme weather conditions exist, you may get an isolated breakdown on a portion of the exterior of your home and those areas can be corrected separately.
