Simple paint maintenance steps

There’s no heavy lifting or scrubbing involved in paint maintenance steps. Instead, you’ll probably be surprised at the ease of them:

  • Check for cracks. It’s normal for settling to occur; causing paint to crack a little about a year after it’s been applied. Generally, it’s not the paint itself responsible for cracking, but the surface beneath it. You may need to fix cracks in the drywall beneath, but otherwise, you can touch up these paint cracks with more paint.
  • Make sure there’s ample ventilation in rooms subject to moisture. The bathroom is a perfect example. This is an important paint maintenance step, because moisture causes all kinds of issues with interior paint, such as warping. Beyond paint damage, you may also have to worry about mold. Any rooms regularly exposed to steam and moisture should have proper ventilation. Make sure your ventilation, such as fans, are in good working order.
  • Keep walls clean. Dirt and debris can also damage paint, so keeping walls clean should be a regular paint maintenance step. A general, nonabrasive multi surface cleaner with some warm water on a sponge is usually gentle enough for latex paint. A little bit of water, vinegar, and dish soap is safe for oil-based paint. Make sure to go back over the cleaned areas with a separate sponge, water only.

Easy enough, right? Believe it or not, these simple steps go a long way to keeping your paint looking new and lasting longer.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
