Top Exterior Paints for Lasting Curb Appeal

August 14, 20242 min read

Why Exterior Paint Matters

Exterior paint is more than just a pretty face for your home. It serves as the first line of defense against weather conditions, pests, and other external factors. High-quality exterior paint can extend the life of your home's siding, trim, and other surfaces, while also making it look good!

Factors to Consider When Choosing Exterior Paint

Climate Compatibility

One of the most important factors to consider is the climate in which you live. Humid climates, thats us, require paints that can resist moisture and mildew. In dry, hot climates, you'll need a paint that can withstand extreme temperatures and UV rays.

Surface Material

Different surfaces require different types of paint. Wood, brick, and metal surfaces all have unique needs. For instance, wood surfaces may need a paint that offers flexibility and breathability, while metal surfaces require rust-resistant formulations.

Durability and Longevity

No one wants to repaint their home every few years. Look for paints that promise long-lasting durability and come with extended warranties. These paints often contain higher-quality ingredients and advanced formulations designed to withstand the test of time. In our professional opinion, they are worth the extra expense.

Best Exterior Home Paint

Behr Premium Plus Ultra Exterior Paint and Primer

Behr Premium Plus Ultra is a top choice for many homeowners. This paint offers excellent coverage and is highly durable, making it ideal for various weather conditions. It also comes with a built-in primer, which saves you time and effort.

Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior Acrylic Latex Paint

Sherwin-Williams Duration is another excellent option, and if you know us, you know this is our preferred paint for both interior and exterior projects. Known for its exceptional durability, this paint is formulated to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme heat and cold. It also resists peeling, blistering, and fading, ensuring your home looks great for years to come.

Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior Paint

Benjamin Moore Aura is a high-end option that offers superior performance. It provides excellent coverage, vibrant color, and long-lasting durability. This paint is also mildew resistant, making it a great choice for humid climates.

No matter which brand you choose to go with, always remember that preparation is key.

Preparation is Key

Proper preparation is crucial for a successful paint job. Clean the surfaces thoroughly, remove any loose or peeling paint, and repair any damage before you start painting. This will help the paint adhere to the surface and a smoother finish.

Use Quality Tools

Investing in high-quality brushes, rollers, and sprayers can make a significant difference in the outcome of your paint job. Quality tools provide better coverage and a more professional-looking finish.

Follow Manufacturer Instructions

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times. This will help you achieve the best results and ensure the longevity of your paint job.
