Fall Home Maintenance Task #6: Painting Your Home Before Winter Sets In

Painting your home is crucial to protecting it and adding to its value.

Power wash your home before painting it. Mold and mildew can damage your home, especially in cold and damp conditions. They creep in under peeling paint more and more as wind blows the paint off the siding. Dirt can stain and pit the exterior finish.

Fixing stucco and peeling paint protects your home from the elements and protects the siding and potentially the home’s structure. Do what’s required to protect your home ahead of time - whether it’s a full paint job or just a touch up.
