It's that time of year again, rainy season is upon us so don't let your home or investment property be damaged by water intrusion. Your first line of defense against water intrusion and the damage it causes is by maintaining your exterior paint and finishes. Exterior paint creates a water barrier keeping moisture out of the stucco, block and wood that holds your house together, once that barrier has been broken, water is able to seep in which exacerbates mold and mildew growth in our hot climate, eventually causing interior damage. Your next line of defense is making sure all doors and windows have an airtight seal. Overtime the caulking and glazing that was used on your windows and doors is broken down by our harsh elements so it's important to maintain that seal through regular maintenance, just like the exterior painting. Having unsealed window and door openings will also allow hot air in and cold air out, raising your electricity usage, costing you more money. If it's been a while since your house has been painted, give us a call for a free inspection and estimate.
