Updated on

Painting the exterior is one of the easiest ways to give your home an instant facelift. Don't believe me? Take a look at these before and after photos.

As Canadians, we tend to spend more time inside the house (with all of the dreaded winter months) making it is easy to forget about the exterior. Here are 4 reasons to have your house painted this season:

  1. Value

Whether or not you are looking to sell your house in the near future, it is always a good idea to look for ways to increase its value. Studies have shown that having your home painted by a professional can increase the overall value of your property by 10%!

  1. Protection

Having your home painted every few years can protect your home from weather-related damage. Wood used on your exterior will begin to rot and fail if it is uncovered for too long.

  1. Curb Appeal

Your exterior is sometimes ignored when thinking of home renovations, but this is where one gets their first impression of a home. That is extremely important and painting is a way to assure a positive first impression.

  1. An Inexpensive Way To Completely Remodel Your Home

Let’s face it, renovating is extremely expensive! If you ask me, painting the exterior is one of the easiest ways to give your home an instant facelift. Still don’t believe me? Take a look at some of these unbelievable before and after photos below that were posted on HomeStars.
