Keep the exterior of your home in great condition with these tips!

Keeping the exterior of your house in great condition is not just about aesthetics. It's also about protecting your home from the elements, preserving its value, and ensuring it remains a comfortable and safe place to live. As experienced painting contractors, we at Laperle Painting Co. have seen firsthand how regular maintenance can make a significant difference. Here are some tips for maintaining your home's exterior:

1. Regular Cleaning: Power washing your home's exterior once or twice a year can remove months or even years of dirt and grime from your siding. This not only enhances its appearance but also protects it from mold and mildew.


2. Maintain Your Gutters: Clean gutters regularly to prevent water damage. Blocked gutters can lead to water seeping into your home, causing significant damage over time.


3. Check for Peeling Paint: If you spot chipping or peeling paint, give us a call at Laperle Painting Co. This could be a sign of more serious problems like moisture intrusion or rot.


4. Look Out for Moss and Mold: Moss control is crucial to maintaining your home's exterior. Moss and mold can damage your home's siding and may require professional treatment.


5. Maintain Your Lawn and Landscaping: Well-kept greenery can greatly improve the appearance of your home's exterior and prevent damage caused by overgrown plants touching your siding.


6. Inspect Your Home Annually: A thorough inspection of your home's exterior can help identify potential issues before they become big problems. Look for signs of damage on your siding, windows, doors, and roof.


When you spot something that needs attention, don't hesitate to contact us at Laperle Painting Co. We're not just about painting; we're about helping you maintain the beauty and integrity of your home. Remember - regular maintenance can save you from costly repairs in the future!
