Placeholder ImageSigns That You Should Repaint the Exterior of Your Home Here are some of the signs that you’ll want to repaint the exterior of your home.

We know that our homes require painting at some point, but when exactly is the right time? This is a question that is not easily answered, especially because exterior painting for our homes is not something we regularly do. With that said, there are signs that will help tell you when you should get repainting done. Here are some of the signs that you’ll want to repaint the exterior of your home.

The Paint is Peeling, Bubbling, or Cracked

Your paint should always be without cracks, bubbling, or peeling of any kind. All of these are signs of paint damage, and when your paint peels away, those parts of the house become more susceptible to damage from the weather. For example, you could run into problems with mold or mildew, or your home’s exterior could even start to rot in some places.

The best thing you can do is prevent these bigger problems from happening, and you can accomplish this if you repaint your home’s exterior. This way, you’ll give your home the extra layer of protection it needs to stand up to whatever weather conditions come its way.

The Caulking is Cracked

You typically have caulking around both your windows and doors, and it serves as a sealant. When the caulking gets cracked, you can sometimes fix up the damaged areas by adding more caulking to them.

If you don’t treat those areas, moisture could seep in, and this moisture can be quite damaging to your home. The risks only increase when you have larger cracks, which is why you’ll definitely want to replace the caulking in those situations.

Moisture Stains and Mold

There are some types of mold and moisture stains that only affect the surface of your house. In these situations, you could simply get rid of them with some elbow grease or power washing.

In other situations, however, the stains could be indicators of more serious damage. If there are stains you cannot remove, you should have a professional inspect the area. Many stains will require you to repaint over them, but it’s possible that the material will need replacing too, depending on the scale of the damage.

Colors are Fading

When the surface of your home endures enough weather, the paint will start fading. This is only natural. Once the paint starts fading, it not only affects your home’s appearance, but it also means your paint isn’t giving your home’s surface enough protection anymore.

Therefore, you’ll want to repaint the surface of your house. This way, you can improve your home’s look while giving it the protection it needs to stand up against the weather in the future.

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!!
