5 Signs It’s Time for a Fresh Coat of Paint
As the weather warms up in West Michigan, now is the perfect time to take a closer look at your home’s exterior. If you’re wondering if it’s time for a refresh, here are five signs your home is due for a new coat:
Fading Color
The paint color of your home could be fading due to sun exposure. What was once a crisp bold color now would look dull. This is a clear sign that your paint’s protective qualities are breaking down.
Crackling or Bubbling
Another clear indicator that your exterior may need attention is cracking or bubbling. This can lead to long-term damage if not addressed early on.
Peeling Paint
One of the most obvious signs you should consider an exterior paint job. Peeling paint means the bond between the paint and your surface has broken down, leaving your siding vulnerable to moisture, rot, and decay.
Stains
Water stains, mildew, or rust streaks aren’t just unappealing- they could also hint at underlying damage. Repainting not only improces curb appeal it also restores durability. When high-quailty coating are used, they help extend the life of your exterior siding.
Timing
If it’s been over 5 years it may be time for a fresh coat. Even high-quality exterior paint has a lifespan. Most homes need a refresh every 5 to 10 years depending on the type of siding, weather conditions and quality of the previous paint job.

Maintaining the protective seal on your home’s exterior can prevent costly damage and save your money in the long run.
