BLOG Pro Tips: Maintaining Your True Blue Paint Job for Long-Lasting Curb Appeal Jun 14, 2024

Congratulations on choosing True Blue Painting, LLC for your painting needs! You’ve just had your home transformed with a beautiful new paint job, and now it’s time to learn how to maintain it for long-lasting curb appeal. Here are some pro tips to ensure your paint job stays looking fresh and vibrant for years to come.

1. Regularly inspect for damage: To keep your paint job looking its best, make sure to inspect the exterior of your home regularly for any signs of damage. Look for cracks, peeling, fading, or bubbling paint, as these are all indicators that your paint job may need some touch-ups.

2. Clean your surfaces: Dirt, dust, and grime can build up on the exterior of your home over time, dulling the vibrancy of your paint job. Make sure to clean your surfaces at least once a year using a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or power washers, as these can damage the paint.

3. Touch-up as needed: Over time, your paint job may start to show signs of wear and tear in high-traffic areas or areas exposed to harsh weather conditions. Keep a small amount of touch-up paint on hand so you can quickly address any minor imperfections before they become larger issues.

4. Trim back foliage: Trees, bushes, and other foliage near your home can rub against the paint, causing damage over time. Make sure to trim back any overhanging branches or shrubs to prevent damage to your paint job.

5. Protect your paint job from the elements: Harsh UV rays, rain, snow, and wind can all take a toll on your paint job. Consider adding a protective sealant or topcoat to your paint job to help protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan.

6. Consider repainting every 5-7 years: While high-quality paint jobs can last for many years, it’s a good idea to consider repainting your home every 5-7 years to keep it looking fresh and vibrant. Not only will this help maintain your home’s curb appeal, but it can also help protect your home from damage.
