If you’re wondering if you need to repaint the exterior of your Kelowna home this Spring, we have put together a list of the benefits of doing this for you.
Increases Its Value
If you’re planning to eventually sell your home, having a freshly painted exterior will improve your home’s curb appeal and value. Painting your home is a great way to increase the value without doing major renovations before selling. Of course you’re going to want to hire a Kelowna painting company to make sure it is done right.
By doing this your house will look much cleaner and attractive to potential buyers, as most people will be more interested in newer, cleaner looking homes. You also want to make sure you choose the right color, as a good color choice will increase your home’s value by at least $5000.
Protection from the elements
Your home takes a lot of punishment from the elements such as light absorption, grime, dust, rain, snow, and much more. The best way to protect your home from the wear and tear from the elements is updating it with high-quality paint.
When you repaint your home with these types of paints you can protect it from moisture. Moisture eventually leads to mildew and mold, and even more extensive damage. With a new paint job you can seal the moisture, which will reduce the stress on your home’s integrity.
Keep the pesky bugs at bay
Termites can be a major issue with solid wood homes, and detecting this early on will save you a lot of money in repairing structural damage. Before painting has begun, inspect the condition of the wood to find any possible risks. Applying a new coat of paint will close off any entry points for those pesky termites before any infestation has a chance to start.
Make Your Home Unique
The best way to increase the curb appeal to your home and make is stand out, is making in unique and attractive. One way to make your house look unique is by using colors that match the landscape surrounding the house.
Also make sure to look at your neighbors paint color to ensure you are not clashing with theirs. For example, two houses next to each other that have the same paint color will eventually make one of them fade away. You can go with neutral colors like white, tan, or grey, and then use bold accent colors for the door and trim.
