How to Put an End to Costly Exterior Repairs with Protective Coatings
It can be disheartening to see the exterior of your home deteriorate. And the prospect of yet another bill for cracked siding, rotting wood or paint that will not stick is not one to look forward to. You may have asked yourself if there is a more sensible way to put some protection on your property before things go to pieces.
There is indeed. For 15 years now we at 1st Choice Coatings have been in the business of shielding what is important to homeowners in Pensacola and the rest of Northwest Florida. To see how a good protective coating can put money back in your pocket, pick up the phone at (850)-813-4445.
The Function of a Protective Coating
Do not mistake it for a simple change of colour. A protective coating is a barrier against the elements that are hard on a home day in and day out. In Northwest Florida you do not have to tell us about those elements; the sun, the salt air, the humidity and the downpours will make short work of an unprotected surface over the course of a year.
A first rate coating will resist the sort of wear that turns into an expensive problem by sealing out moisture and UV rays. It is a means of prevention rather than a reaction to trouble once it has shown itself.
What it Costs to Go Without Protection
Some homeowners view exterior maintenance as an expense they can do without. Yet forgoing protection is likely to result in larger bills later on. Small matters have a way of getting out of hand.
Protective coatings are there to forestall the likes of:
- Wood rot making its way into the framing
- Mold and mildew from moisture intrusion
- Paint that flakes and peels, necessitating a complete stripping of the surface
- Siding that is faded or cracked and does little for curb appeal
- Corrosion and rust on metal
- Interior water damage
Too often by the time these are noticed the price of repair has gone up several fold. An application of coating at the proper time nips that in the bud.
Long-Term Savings from Coatings
You would be better to consider a protective coating an investment. The initial outlay is nothing like what major repairs run. The benefits are manifold:
- A quality product endures where standard paint would not, so you are not repainting as often
- Less to spend on fixing damage from the sun or moisture
- Reflective coatings can improve energy efficiency by keeping the heat at bay
- Your home will have a higher resale value with an exterior in good order
- Emergency fixes are a thing of the past
Put it all together and the numbers speak for themselves. Over the life of the home you come out ahead and have less cause to fret over the weather on a weekend.
The Importance of Timing
One should apply a coating before any damage has taken hold. If the surface is already compromised the coating is only going to do so much. Regular upkeep is key.
Professionalism comes into play here. We can put our eye on early warning signs that escape most homeowners and tell you which surfaces to attend to and what will stand up to the local climate.
