The Benefits of Top Quality Exterior Paint

One of the questions we get asked often for our exterior paint jobs is, "What kind of paint do you use?" Our answer is quite simple, "We like to use top quality paint on every job." Top quality paint can be found in every paint store in the country. So we pick and choose paints that best meet the needs of our clients and their particular home. We thought we would share with you some of the benefits of having premium paint used on your exterior surfaces.

• Adheres well, so it is less likely to blister, flake or peel.
  
• Better chalk resistance, for excellent color retention.
  
• Better dirt resistance, so the paint remains fresh-looking.
  
• Better mildew resistance, so paint won't be marred by unsightly black or brown blotches.
  
• Overall superior durability.*
  

The benefits of premium top quality paint will only work if the existing surface is properly prepped. Therefore, when you hire a professional painting contractor for your home, make sure they not only know how to prep the home properly but know the benefits listed above. Otherwise, you will be repainting in a very short amount of time.
