Placeholder ImageWhen Do You Need To Repaint Your House? Here are some signs that you should repaint your home.

Painting your house is an important step towards maintaining your home’s monetary value. When you have a good paint job, it makes your house more inviting and well kept. However, eventually, your paint is going to wear out, and you’ll need to apply a new coat. So how do you know when it’s time for repainting? Here are some signs that you should repaint your home.

Your Paint is Showing Signs of Wear

If your paint is starting to peel, crack, or bubble, it’s likely that the paint wasn’t applied properly from the start, or the paint has taken hits from the weather. These signs could also indicate that you have mold or dry rot to address. If you notice these signs, you should repaint your house as soon as you can. These problems should be taken seriously, especially because they can evolve into larger problems if left untreated.

The Paint is Starting to Fade

When your paint starts fading, your house can look old and worn down. This is when you should repaint your house so you can give your home new life. Darker paint colors will fade more quickly than light paint colors, so different rooms in your house may need repainting at different times, depending on how you color them.

You’re Getting Ready to Sell Your House

You can only make one first impression. This is why curb appeal goes such a long way towards selling your home. The moment potential homebuyers see your house, they already start to develop opinions on it. When they see old paint, they’ll immediately think the home isn’t worth their time. If you repaint your house ahead of time, you avoid this problem. Having a fresh coat of paint will make your house more appealing, which will encourage homebuyers to come inside and see more of what your home has to offer.

Your Caulk is Cracking

If you start to find cracks in your caulking, that means it’s not as elastic as it once was. When you repaint your house, you rekindle that elasticity in your caulking, and it won’t become brittle.

You’re Seeing Shrinking or Gaps

Does it look like the boards along your house’s exterior are beginning to shrink? Can you see any gaps between your boards? If so, it could be that dry rot is forming, which means that moisture could be getting in your wood. We suggest getting professional help dealing with this problem before you repaint your house.

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!!
