Paint doesn't fail all at once. It fades a little. It chips at the corners. It flattens out where the sun hits hardest, on the side of the house that takes the worst of it year after year.
You walk past it every day, so you don't notice. Then one day you do. By then it's probably needed attention for a while.
Nick and his crew have been painting exteriors around Shrewsbury and the Boston metro area for over 9 years. He put together a short walkaround showing exactly what he looks for on a house, what it means, and what you should know before you hire anyone to paint yours.
Real job. Real difference.

Three signs worth checking for
Peeling paint
The surface separating from the wood, usually where moisture is getting in.
Mildew from lack of sun
Dark, damp-looking patches on the sides of the house that don't get much light.
Rotten wood
Trim and boards gone soft, sometimes soft enough that pests move in.
Seeing one of these doesn't always mean your house needs painting right now. Sometimes it does. Sometimes you've still got time. Nick walks you through the difference in the video above.
What to ask before you hire anyone
Prep work comes first
Repairing rotten wood, scraping properly, caulking, masking, protecting the landscaping. A paint job is only as good as the prep underneath it.
One crew for everything
Custom Color Interiors does its own carpentry in house, so you're not chasing down a second contractor.
Communication
Showing up on time, respecting the property, leaving it clean at the end of the day.
