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.
