  • Benefits of professional house painting service

    Painting your home doesn’t just make your house look pretty — it has some awesome hidden benefits too. With Summer in full swing, many people turn their attention to the exterior of their homes, thinking about cleaning, repairing, or repainting the home’s exterior. Exterior painting not only adds beauty to your home, but it also adds protection to your home. Interior painting is similar in that it both beautifies and protects your walls and other interior-painted surfaces. ​It is a good idea to update your interior with a fresh coat of paint every few years to ​keep your home healthy, and looking its best, and to maintain or increase the value of your home. ​

     

    When is the last time you had your walls painted? Think of all of the wear and tear your home’s surfaces endure daily. From hanging things, and absorbing light, to all the dust, dirt, and grime, your walls go through a lot. They get dirty and worn down quickly. Giving your walls an update with some high-quality paint is an easy way to get your walls clean and ready for the next few years. A professional paint job requires walls to be adequately cleaned to ensure proper adhesion. And with a new coat of paint, your walls will have a new layer of protection from moisture. Moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth and even more extensive damage to your walls. A new coat of paint on your walls can help seal out moisture, reducing the added weight that can put stress on your home’s structural integrity. And with quality paint, it can help repel all the dirt, dust, and allergens, making it easier to keep your home clean.

    Better aesthetics: When you first moved into your house, you may have had different tastes—or may have hated the color of your home from the beginning! Even if you loved the color (and still love it), after several years of the same thing, you might be ready for a change. Don’t neglect the aesthetic value that house painting can bring; you’ll see something newer and livelier every time you pull in the driveway, and that goes beyond a simple color choice. A fresh coat of paint can make your siding seem newer, putting your whole house in a different light.

     

    Objectively increased home value: When the appraiser comes to evaluate your house, a recent house painting job can have a major effect on the final value. Some major renovations only offer a partial return on investment; for example, kitchen remodels average only an 80 percent return on investment. This means a $10,000 kitchen makeover would only increase the value of your home by an average of $8,000. The exterior paint, on the other hand, offers a much more attractive return of 141 percent. If you end up spending $1,000 on house painting, you can expect a home value increase of roughly $1,400—which is like earning $400 of extra value on top of the job paying for itself.

     

    Better curb appeal: The aesthetic value of your house isn’t just for you; if you’re interested in selling your home, exterior paint can greatly increase your potential curb appeal. Curb appeal is independent of both home value and personal appeal (though it’s related to those factors); instead, curb appeal is all about setting the right tone when a prospective buyer sees your home for the first time. Think of it as getting your “foot in the door” for a potential sale—if they like the appeal of the exterior, they’ll be far more likely to venture in for more details and stand a better chance of actually buying.

     

    Protection: Proactive identification of insect damage: Speaking of insects, termite damage is a major killer for wood-based homes; being able to identify this problem (and address it) proactively is crucial if you want to save yourself some extremely expensive foundational repairs. Evaluating your home’s siding before adding a fresh coat of paint can help you identify any possible insect damage early, and adding the paint itself can help stop an infestation in its tracks.

     

    Increased lifespan of siding: No matter what type of siding you have for your home, a new coat of exterior paint can help increase its lifespan. Most traditional forms of siding, such as wood or vinyl, need to be replaced periodically to keep your home protected—if new paint can add even a few years onto the lifespan of that siding, you could end up saving hundreds to thousands of dollars in eventual expenses. In addition, new paint can help you cover up or temporarily repair the damage that your old siding has sustained; for example, you may be able to cover up some previous blemishes or provide additional protection to areas that have worn down (do note that house painting is not a suitable substitute for siding replacement if it’s in poor condition all-around).
