House Painting in St. Louis: Your End-of-Summer Checklist!

Don’t worry... We’re not trying to cut summer short. There are still plenty of good days left to soak up the warmth, skip work, hone your BBQ skills, or kick back in a hammock. But, as your local St. Louis painting contractor, we always think a season or two ahead. And, with summer winding down, it really is time to make sure you’re ready for the fall. Here are a few ideas to help you maximize the rest of the summer season!

Your Exterior Painting Checklist

Remember, exterior paint isn’t just a pretty face - it’s your home’s first line of defense against pests, UV damage, moisture intrusion, and more. With winter inevitably coming, now is the perfect opportunity to make sure your property is protected:

• Check for signs of paint failure (peeling, chipping, damage, faded spots where the sun is relentless, etc.). Catching issues early and maintaining healthy paint will keep your home’s defenses strong, and also reduce the need for larger-scale remediation next spring.
• Check for wood rot! Once it takes root, it won’t go anywhere. Finding soft wood, especially around deck posts/boards, fascia, trim, doors, and windows is important. Relatively minor wood repair and replacement now will save you from a big headache down the road.
• How is your deck’s finish? Decks bear a huge amount of strain, from the baking summer sun to the high moisture levels that come with winter’s snow and rain. Keeping a healthy barrier of stain in place will lock out moisture intrusion and damaging rays, preserving the structural wood underneath. Plus, it looks great!
• Clean out your gutters! It may not be a fun job, but you’ll be glad you did it. Clear, clean, functional gutters will protect your home all winter long from water damage, ice dams, pests, and more.
