[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Whether you had a recent exterior paint job, or you think you may be due for one in short order, it’s important to be informed about when you may need the next one.
There are many factors that go into how long your home’s exterior paint will last. Type of siding, location, climate, and paint quality are just a few of them. Let’s go in-depth about how some of these factors determine the life of your exterior paint job.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Siding Type” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Different types of siding require new paint at different intervals of time. For example, the paint on aluminum siding and stucco will last right around five years. For wood siding, the time frame is very similar, though you have the option to stain it as well. Longer-lasting options include cement fiberboard and painted brick, which should give you about 15 years.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Location & Climate” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]There are certain climate factors that can greatly affect how long your paint will last, as well. For example, living in an area with lots of hot sun will cause your paint to fade more quickly than just a mildly sunny area. Additionally, frequent storms, humidity, even blowing sand can shorten the time between paint jobs.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Quality of Previous Paint Job” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]If you hired the top exterior painting contractor in south jersey this is one you certainly don’t have to worry about.
