If your paint is suffering here and there, scrape off any that is loose or adhering poorly, and sand the remaining paint edges to a smooth finish. Prime any areas where bare wood is exposed (including any replacement wood you installed as part of your maintenance).
Finally, apply a thick coat of top quality 100% acrylic paint. After it dries, apply a second coat to provide added protection for your home exterior. Top quality acrylic paint has great adhesion and great flexibility, making it much more durable than other types of paint.
When it comes to maintenance of your home exterior, timing is everything. By keeping up with things – including repairs, re-caulking, and repainting where necessary — your home will look much more attractive and provide you and your family better protection against any type of weather that may be in store.
