Preserving Your Home’s Exterior Paint Against Burlington’s Seasonal Shifts

The vibrant beauty of a freshly painted home exterior not only enhances curb appeal but also serves as a protective shield against the elements. In Burlington, where the climate transitions from icy winters to humid summers, maintaining this protective layer is crucial. At Aloft Group Painting, we understand the unique challenges posed by our local weather. Here are our expert tips to keep your home looking pristine year-round.

Regular Cleaning

It’s not just about aesthetics; regular cleaning is essential for prolonging the life of your paint job. Dirt, dust, and other debris can stick to your painted surfaces, potentially leading to damage over time. Here’s how you can keep your exterior walls clean:

  • Soft washing: Use a soft cloth or a soft bristle brush with soapy water to gently cleanse the surface.
  • Hose down: Every few months, use a garden hose to wash away any accumulated grime. Avoid high-pressure washers as they can strip the paint.

Inspect Regularly for Damage

Regular inspections can catch potential problems before they escalate. Look for signs of peeling, cracking, or chipping paint, as these can be early indicators of moisture intrusion or paint failure. Pay special attention to areas around windows and doors, as well as any wood trim, which might be more susceptible to damage.

Touch-Ups and Repairs

If you notice minor damages, address them promptly:

  • Scrape off: Remove any loose paint from affected areas carefully with a scraper.
  • Sand and smooth: Sand the edges to create a smooth surface that will help the new paint adhere better.
  • Prime and paint: Apply a matching exterior primer followed by high-quality exterior paint.

These small efforts can significantly extend the lifespan of your overall paint job and reduce the need for more extensive and expensive repairs.

Choose the Right Paint

At Aloft Group Painting, we recommend using high-quality paints designed to withstand the specific challenges of the Burlington climate. These paints are more resistant to fading, mildew, and other weather-related damages. Opt for paints with UV protection and moisture resistance to get the most out of your exterior painting investment.
