Exterior Paint That Lasted 14 Years in Wenonah, NJ

You are here: Home / Uncategorized / Exterior Paint That Lasted 14 Years in Wenonah, NJ

What do you consider a successful exterior paint job? Awesome curb appeal? Absolutely. A great experience, with no headaches or big surprises? Totally. 

We’d also suggest that longevity is a peak indicator of a successful exterior repaint. After all, paint is your home’s first line of defense, and it’s a substantial investment. Much like putting on a new roof, you need your paint job to look great, do its job, and LAST. 

Unfortunately, most folks don’t put as high a value on long-term performance as they do the immediate price tag. It might feel good to get a red-hot deal in the moment, but paying for 2-3 cheap repaints is more expensive than paying once for a job done right. There’s nothing more expensive than a cheap paint job. 

To better understand the difference, and value, let’s take a closer look at this home in Wenonah, NJ.

A long-lasting exterior repaint for our NJ neighbor

We last painted this particular home 14 years ago. Today, most folks are excited to get 8 years out of a paint job, making 14 years a pretty remarkable achievement. Google “how long does exterior paint last,” and you’ll find that the average is 5-10 years, tops. 

Here’s a look at our client’s gorgeous home, before and after, and then we’ll share a few key takeaways for you.

How to make exterior paint last longer in NJ

Here’s what you need to know.

  1. Partner with a reputable painting company

There are a lot of contractors out there who can offer screaming deals, but what are you sacrificing? Sometimes those price points are made possible by using inexperienced, cheap labor, low-grade paint, or skipping over critical aspects of surface preparation and repairs. Also, keep in mind that some of the less scrupulous painters offer really attractive, too-good-to-be-true warranties simply because they have no intention of honoring them. 

  1. Invest in surface preparation

Painting in the right conditions is essential. That certainly includes the weather, but also (and primarily) the surfaces that you’re painting. Cleaning, removing old paint, repairs, sanding… Each step builds on the last to create the best finish possible. 

  1. Use the best exterior paint products

With over 30 years of exterior painting experience, we know what works. From the primers we use to the repair compounds to the finish coat, each choice is intentional. If your painter skimps on paint, your project will never last. 

  1. Routine care

If you’ve waited until total paint failure before painting again, you’ve waited too long. Routine care and touch-ups are key, preventing decay and damage while helping your paint job to last longer. Even something as simple as a springtime power wash can go a long way, rinsing away contaminants that shorten the lifespan of your coatings.
