What are the early signs my exterior needs paint before damage starts?
In Marietta, GA 30066, Georgia sun, humidity, and storm cycles wear finishes faster than many expect. Watch these clues so you can repaint before wood, stucco, or siding is harmed.
Color and surface changes:
• Fading or a powdery film that rubs off on your hand
• Dull or chalky patches on sun facing walls
• Uneven sheen after rain or heavy dew
Small failures that grow:
• Hairline cracks in the paint film
• Tiny bubbles or blisters after hot afternoons
• Peeling at trim edges, fascia ends, and window sills
Openings where water sneaks in:
• Split or missing caulk at joints and around windows and doors
• Exposed nail heads or rust stains
• Soft, swollen, or darkened wood at lower trim and stair stringers
Material specific clues:
• Stucco with hairline cracks or a dusty surface
• Fiber cement with open lap seams or cracked caulk lines
• Painted brick with efflorescence or flaky mortar paint
Why act early:
A timely repaint lets us wash, sand, spot prime bare areas, re caulk, and apply two finish coats before moisture intrusion leads to carpentry repairs.
