Placeholder ImageHow to Prevent Fading Paint On Your Company's Exterior Here is how to keep your paint from fading.

The curb appeal of your company really helps contribute to how many customers your business attracts. The more customers who are drawn to your business, the more revenue you will bring in. With that said, it’s not always easy to keep your business looking attractive enough to allure new customers. One of the ways your business starts losing curb appeal is because your paint starts to fade.

Fortunately, there are means of slowing the fading process. By stopping your paint from fading, your business will retain its lustrous appeal for far longer. Here is how to keep your paint from fading.

Go With Fade-Resistant Paints

This may seem like a given to some, but it’s an easy detail to overlook if you aren’t experienced working with paint. Oil-based paints are often best avoided if the goal is to prevent fading. Instead, go with an acrylic latex option. Whatever paint you choose should also have enough binder and be made of high-quality pigments. These ensure that the paint will have an easier time sticking to the surface while making the film more durable.

Think About the Quality of Your Products

Painting products have gotten more advanced over time. Today, the quality of your products makes more of a difference on your building’s appearance than ever before. You need to make sure you do sufficient surface preparation and use the best painting products possible. This keeps your paint from peeling, cracking, or fading prematurely. As a result, you also won’t have to spend as much time and money on repairs and maintenance.

Avoid Using Paints That Are Susceptible to Fading

The color of your paint can influence how quickly it starts to fade. As an example, paints with inorganic pigments, such as tans and browns, will be better when applied to exterior surfaces than organic alternatives like bright blues and reds. The brighter colors are highly vulnerable to radiation from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which can accelerate the fading process.

There are also paints that are alkali-sensitive. Avoid using these on surfaces that have a high amount of alkaline on them. This can also contribute to a sped-up fading process. Things can also go wrong if you tint certain paints or if you tint a paint product too much. Doing this can also result in your paint fading earlier than expected.

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!!
