The average life expectancy of exterior paint is about 4-7 years. So, if you can’t remember the last time you painted the exterior of your house. It’s probably past its use-by date!
Even if the paintwork of your home isn’t looking shabby,
There are a number of reasons why exterior repainting is important. We take a look at the top five:
1. Increases Sale Value
Even if you’re not looking to sell at this very moment, you never know what may happen in the not-so-distant future. Given the typical coat of paint lasts for 4-and-7 years. Painting is a good investment in the future as a fresh coat of paint can increase the sale value.
2. Protects Exterior Surfaces
Painting your home regularly helps protect it against inclement weather – which is particularly important here in Queensland, where we can literally endure droughts and flooding plains all in the short space of one year.
3. Hides Permanent Marks:
If the paintwork of your home has already become the victim of Queensland’s harsh climate, then a fresh coat of paint will help conceal those marks and stains that are impossible to remove any other way – this also goes to reinforce point 1.
4. An Inexpensive Renovation
if you’re tired of looking at the same, old red or off-white bricks of your home, rendering over them and then repainting is the easiest way to bring your home into the twenty-first century by giving it a whole new look. Also, it’s the cheapest.
5. A change is as good as a holiday
Changing the paint colour of your home can sometimes have the effect of changing your outlook on what home means.
