Some people use vinyl siding, and others have a home that needs to be repainted every few years or so. Some people paint their walls every couple of years with a new color, and others have had the same white walls for decades. Homeowners tend to delay this process or not know when they should be repainting. Here are some signs that tell you your home’s exterior or interior needs a new coat of paint:
Damaged Surfaces
When you have younger kids or pets, walls can get scuffed and damaged easily. Sometimes you might not notice for a while, especially if they are lower down on the wall. If you can remove the scuffs and damage, that’s great. But if you can’t, you’ll need to paint eventually. Even little things like dirt and buildup make a wall look bad, and that’s when you know it’s time to paint!
Colors Are Fading
When you live somewhere with a lot of sunlight, your home will fade on the exterior. Your walls might even, too. When the sun gets in the windows, you might see some patches of discoloration. When the paint inside or outside starts to fade, you should consider a repaint. Even the best paints that claim to be fade-resistant will still eventually discolor.
Aging Paint and Colors
Paint definitely does not last forever. When you take a good look at your walls, you will notice the signs of aging when it comes to walls. It is recommended that you repaint walls every five to ten years to avoid aging paint. Cracks can form, and color will peel, so it’s essential to look out for those signs of aging. This also goes for the exterior of your home.
Wallpaper
If you have wallpaper in your home that wasn’t done recently, chances are it’s outdated. Many homeowners are too lazy to remove it, and it helps from not having to paint every couple of years. It’s an eyesore, and your walls will look better with a fresh coat of paint in the end. Getting rid of wallpaper can change up the look of your walls. Remove this wallpaper and opt for a timeless color instead. Your home will look better and more updated!
