As spring approaches, it’s the ideal time to assess the exterior of your home. One-third of homes in every neighborhood Chromabrush Painting by J&M serves are in immediate need of a new coat of paint due to peeling, fading, or cracking, which can lead to expensive repairs. Another third may not need urgent attention but are faded and could benefit from a fresh coat of paint at a lower cost, offering protection for another 7-10 years. The final third of homes are in great shape, well-maintained, and recently painted, requiring no immediate work. Your home’s exterior paint functions like skin, protecting its structure from the elements, and keeping it in good condition ensures lasting protection and prevents costly damage.
