The best paint jobs are resilient

When looking for exterior paints, it’s essential to understand the relative importance of each of the factors that make up a particular paint product.

Combined with the unique setting of your home, this decision will be the difference between years of satisfaction with your home’s exterior versus a new paint job five years down the line.

Five traits make the best exterior paint:

1. Long-lasting appearance:

Your paint should be able to maintain its color and gloss for years to come.

2. Strong adherence properties:

Your paint will need to be able to adhere strongly to the surfaces where it’s applied, particularly if that surface is old, weathered paint.

3. Chalking resistance:

Your paint should be able to resist chalking for the life of the paint.

4. Flexibility:

It should be able to flex and compress with your building materials as they change shape and size with temperature and moisture levels.

5. Stain & fungal resistance:

Your paint should not attract dirt, nor should it be excessively susceptible to mold, algae, or mildew growth.

Every home has unique paint needs

After considering these factors about your paint, it’s also important to ask more specific questions about your home. How will the wood or siding of your home be prepared to best accept the paint you’re applying? How much UV light does your home experience?

Will your home’s new color fit in your neighborhood?

“Green” exterior paint choices

Most of the highest-rated paints for both the interior and exterior of your home have a high level of VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) in their design. While these toxic chemicals are unlikely to cause health issues when on the outside of your home, these emissions can contribute to environmental damage.

One compromise to consider is to use recycled paint on your home. The performance is comparable to other paints, but you can rest a little easier knowing that you’re helping to do your part for the earth.
