Heat, Paint and Peeling Walls

Make Your Post-Summer Repairs Now

The heat of summer is tough on paint and finishes. And let’s face it, the dry, 100-degrees-plus high desert climate in Nevada is even tougher than most – even in a relatively mild season as this one has been. The heart of the problem is the sun.

Fall is an especially good time to take a close look at your home or office building structure. You’ll notice that typically structures look their worst on the side facing the sun’s hottest, direct rays. You’ll often find fading, peeling paint and cracking wood on this side first.

If you see any of these signs (fading, peeling, cracking), take action. Catch these problems early and you’ll see some significant cost savings.

Save Money on Exterior Painting – an Insider’s Tip

Often we’re able to paint or resurface just one side of a building. That’s where your big savings lie, so catch peeling and cracking early. Paint early, paint well, and your building will stand up to our climate.

Colors, Textures and Products: We can usually match paint colors and textures, and this is an important factor when deciding to resurface just the sun-facing side of a building. (See more about our services on our Website.) Our expertise in color matching the newly painted side to the old sides enhances the building’s overall aesthetics.

So, take a walk around your building to assess this season’s damage – a small investment now can mean long-term cost savings.
