Exterior Painting in Buffalo, NY

We certainly wouldn't recommend using exterior paint inside your home. Exterior paint contains resin that allows the color of your paint to adhere properly to your home's exterior, making sure that it will last longer. Exterior paint also contains additives that make it suitable for the outdoors and durable against poor weather conditions. If you use exterior paint inside your home, your paint may not perform the way you want it to and you may be paying for a product that isn't suitable for your home's interior spaces.

Repainting your home's exterior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to increase your home's value. Although it can be enticing to choose a bold color, painting your home an outlandish color, such as bright orange or vibrant chartreuse can actually steer potential homeowners in the other direction when it comes time to sell your home. Repainting has its benefits but be sure to choose your colors carefully.

If you're in the process of figuring out what color to paint your home, you can count on Braendel to help you determine the perfect pigment. As a rule of thumb, lighter colors will make your home appear larger and help it to stand out, while darker colors make your home seem smaller. Many homeowners choose colors that will coordinate well with the color of their roof, trim, doors, and shutters.

The longevity of your exterior paint ultimately depends on whether the repaint was done correctly and the quality of paint you choose. Most exterior buildings will need to be repainted every 5 to 10 years on average.

You can paint exterior brick, but you need to consider whether you should. Painting exterior brick can cause your brick to trap too much moisture and become damaged if done incorrectly.
