Protect Your Home in Harsh Climates


If you live in an area with harsh weather conditions, such as extreme heat/cold, wind, and rain/snow, you know how quickly your home's exterior can deteriorate. In Utah, we are no strangers to these conditions, especially if you live at higher elevations. One way to protect your home from the elements is by painting it regularly. Repainting your home is essential in harsh climates and can protect your home from long-term damage.


Protect Against UV Rays

One of the most damaging elements your home's exterior faces is the sun's UV rays. UV rays can cause your paint to fade, peel, and crack, leaving your home exposed to the elements. This can lead to more serious damage, such as wood rot and water damage. By repainting your home every few years, you can help protect it from the sun's harmful rays and extend the life of your paint.


Prevent Cracking and Peeling

In addition to fading, extreme weather conditions can cause your paint to crack and peel. This can be especially problematic if your home's exterior is made of wood or stucco, which can be more susceptible to this type of damage. By repainting your home regularly, you can help prevent cracking and peeling and keep your home looking its best.

Address Any Damage

Finally, repainting your home can also help you address any damage that may have occurred over time. For example, if your home's exterior has suffered from water damage or other types of wear and tear, repainting it can be a great way to cover up these issues and restore your home's appearance. At LWF Painting, we conduct minor repairs as we repaint, which can help you avoid more expensive repairs down the line.
