7 Reasons To Paint Your House This Season

Painting can be a time-consuming project as it requires a lot of planning, research, time and money management. Whether you’re painting just the trims and frames, one room, or the whole house, any type of painting project can turn into a snowball of decision-making. The very first decision you need to make is whether or not you should take on a painting project for your house.

Just like many Canadian homeowners, if you’re struggling with the decision of whether or not to paint your house this season, let us help you come to a conclusion. Here are 7 simple reasons why you should consider going ahead with your house painting project this season.

New Look

Painting is a great project when you’re looking to make a big change without investing a large amount of money. You don’t have to purchase expensive furniture, patio decorations or install cutting-edge lighting solutions to give your house a new look. Just a fresh coat of paint can dramatically change the look of your house. With a new paint finish and fresh colour, you can add a new look to your home in a budget-friendly manner.

Personalization

Whether it’s a single room paint project or the whole house, you can add layers of personalization to your space by adding different colours and finishes. You can choose a specific colour palette that suits the personality and mood of each room of your house. For example, if you’re working from home, you can colour your home office in soothing colours such as pale oak or Hague blue. If you’re an avid cook and spend a lot of time in the kitchen, you can get high gloss paint for kitchen cabinets and satin for the walls. You can also choose chalkboard paint for a section of your kitchen to write grocery lists, recipes and menu of the day/week.

Enhances Curb Appeal

One should never judge a book by its cover but in a seller’s market, the sale of your entire house depends on how it’s exterior and landscape looks at first glance. A fresh and bright coat of paint can enhance your home’s curb appeal, making it more appealing and attractive for potential buyers. It can make your property stand out and increase its chances of getting sold.

Increases Property Value

When you plan on selling your house, many realtors recommend you make some changes to your property to increase its value. Changes such as new landscape renovated bathrooms or new flooring can exceptionally increase your property value. However, these changes can be quite costly and time-consuming. That’s why we recommend you paint your house as it’s an inexpensive remodel option that quickly provides a new and attractive look to your home and increases its value on the market.

Damage Repair

Painting is a great way to repair damaged drywall, old kitchen cabinets or dated trims. As part of any painting project, you will have to prep the area by sanding and cleaning. This will give you an amazing opportunity to repair the damages and fix them with a fresh paint coat, hiding all the bumps and scratches. A fresh coat of paint will help hide different cracks on your walls as well.

Protection from Natural Elements

Good quality exterior paint protects your house from dust, wind, snow and rain. Various natural external elements can harm the drywall and structural interior of your home. Whether you’re painting a wooden patio, a concrete landscape or drywall, you can get water-proof paint and sealers to protect them from natural wear and tear.

Improves Indoor Air Quality

Many paint manufacturers offer low or zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint options for interior painting. VOCs are chemicals commonly used in paints that can easily evaporate in indoor air and pollute the air quality within your four walls. Getting a chemical-free and low VOC paint formula for your home will improve indoor air quality and help you breathe comfortably without any negative respiratory problems.

After the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more Canadians are working from home and spending more time indoors with their family. Giving a new look to your walls can bring a change in your lifestyle and add more colour to your home-bound routine.
