When one member of a neighborhood paints the exterior of their home is not long before you see other homes in the same neighborhood receiving a fresh coat of exterior paint. One might believe that neighbors just like to compete and try to keep up with “The Joneses” but the truth is that a new exterior paint job makes a home look fresh, it adds resale value, and can make a home feel new and even boost the overall aesthetics of a street or cul-de-sac.
In truth most homeowners, whether a neighbor has painted their home or not, seek to give their homes a new exterior paint job simply because it beautifies a home and adds a lot of character to it as well. Creative homeowners working with contractors can also use exterior paint to give a home personality as well. As an exterior paint job can do a great many things for a home it's important to sit down with a professional painter, at least for a consultation, to determine which colors, shades, and style of paint a homeowner will want to use.
Once colors and styles and things of that sort have been settled upon it's important to select paints and application process that will help new paint serve as a primary line of defense against whether, bugs, and other types of debris and damage. Many modern paints contain preventative chemicals and even protective chemicals that can go a long way in keeping a house looking good long after it receives new paint.
It's also important for homeowners to remember during the choosing process that paint should be tested on their homes before any big purchases are made or painting begins. Test painting can easily be done on nondescript parts of a home in order to determine whether or not a particular color or shade will work on a home. Best of all the small test areas can be easily covered by the final paint once the process begins.
