Spring is here and it’s the best time of year to repaint your home’s exterior with the help of our paint store in North Vancouver. With a fresh coat of paint, you’ll be able to enjoy your deck, the brighter colours of your new home and all the other outdoor amenities your home has to offer.
As for the paint itself, it is responsible for taking up the majority of a home’s visual space. It gives any building vibrancy, energy and a personality, making the biggest impact on first impressions, your home’s style and its curb appeal. Besides maintaining your home’s paint job, if it’s already too late, repainting is one of the best ways to keep your home looking fresh, maintained and up to date. Keep in mind that you do have to get touch-ups every few years to keep your property y looking spick and span. After all, it is your biggest investment.
Let’s take a look at why you should repaint your home’s exterior this spring. It’s arguably the best time of year to perform a mini facelift like this, mainly due to weather and sunlight, and how they both mix with the paint’s chemistry.
The Weather is Perfect
Spring weather is just perfect. It’s mildly warm and not blistering hot. This is ideal because paint doesn’t perform well with the presence of rain, snow, ice and humidity – it generally does not like moisture. There are no evaporations in the air and days are warm and dry.
It Boosts Your Home’s Curb Appeal
Nothing like a home that demands attention with its sharp, fresh appearance and high curb appeal. A fresh exterior is warm, inviting and looks beautiful lined along your street. This isn’t just important for the homeowner and his/her guests, it’s also critical if the home will be put on the market for sale.

It’s Preventative Maintenance
Repainting saves you money later down the road – this is called preventative maintenance. The same way you need to go for regular checkups to have your car inspected professionally, you’ll need to have your home repainted to avoid mold problems, pest infestation problems and so much more.
It Acts as a Protective Barrier
High-quality paint applied with the knowledge of industry professionals creates a protective seal around your entire property. It protects your home/business from wind, cold, heat, UV rays, pests, dirt, ice and mold. It keeps everything on the interior and beyond, safe, dry and isolated. At Home Makeover Centre, we only stock premium quality paint from Benjamin Moore.
Paint Doesn’t Like Moisture
Paint is affected by moisture. As the weather changes and temperatures rise and drop, the changing properties of moisture contract and expands whatever it comes into contact with. On top of that, the sun’s blistering heat also plays a role. This then results in a paint job that is peeling, flaking and fading.
It’s an Opportunity to Inspect
When it’s time to sand and repaint, you have an opportunity to closely inspect every little area of your house. Same way paint can fall apart over time, siding can fall apart too. Paint is the first layer of insulation and when the paint job is outdated and showing visible signs of deterioration, it means moisture, dirt and the elements have found their way to the innermost layers of the home.
Boosts A Home’s Value
Without a doubt, having a freshly painted exterior will greatly increase the value of your home. It’s something that will make sure you get maximum ROI (return on investment) when it comes time to resell.
