When You Need a Professional to House Paint the Exterior of Marietta Homes
by Kevin Smith AuthorYou have investment property and you love it.
It’s done wonders for your portfolio and the extra income you earn each month
from your rental residences is going to allow you to retire early. Admittedly,
maintenance can take a huge chunk of your investment gains, but there are
certain things you should never do yourself. One such thing is house painting.
To house paint the exterior of Marietta homes is to increase their curb appeal.
Do you know what that means? Higher rent.
Use a
Professional
The exterior of any home or apartment building is
a potential tenant’s first impression, and if it doesn’t look good, he or she
will move on to the next property on his or her list. You could paint the
exterior of your rentals on your own, but unless you’re a professional painting
contractor, you might not do it correctly – no offense. Painting the exterior
involves much more than selecting a color and then brushing or spraying it on,
and since this directly affects how much rent you can charge, the job needs to
be done right.
A professional painter will power wash the
building first prior to any efforts to house paint the exterior of Marietta
homes. Power washing the building removes old paint, dirt, and grime, which
gives the painter fresh walls. The fresh walls are not only important for your
new paint job, they are also important because the contractor can inspect them
for structural damage. Prior to the fresh exterior coats, the contractor can
fix any damage, and then he will apply the proper primer, base, paint and top
coats for a beautiful finish.
If You
Don’t Have This Done
If you ignore all the above steps, you open
yourself up for potential loss on your rental property. If the exterior stucco
or wood is compromised in any way, it must be repaired immediately. For
example, a small crack in your stucco is going to grow as the earth shifts
naturally underneath your property. If you have wood rot, it will eventually
make its way to the drywall, which can draw moisture inside. Leaving this
damage creates costly fixes.
Don’t open yourself up to an expensive property repair bill. Hire a professional painter when it’s time to house paint the exterior of Marietta homes that you own. The professional has the experience to make certain all underlying walls are intact and the paint is applied correctly. When the job is done right, your property just got a boost in its curb appeal.
