Want to keep your house looking new? If so, you should follow Francisco's professional recommendations for Exterior Paint Maintenance:

• Pressure washing your house at least every 2 years will keep the mildew from building up and will keep your house looking like it was freshly painted.
• Remember to save touch up paint for the future and write down in a safe place the name, number and brand of the paint for further reference. Over the years, paint lables tend to fade making them unreadable.
  
• Write with a permanent marker on the paint cans the place on your home where that paint was used so you can remember later.
• Along the entire house, always check for cracks that may allow water to get under siding materials causing major problems. Some times, water damage repairs are more expensive than the paint job itself.
• If you need to seal a crack on the exterior of your house, use a good quality paintable caulk. After you apply the caulk, let it dry over night and then use you touch up paint to match the caulk to the color of your home. You may need 2 coats of paint to match existing colors. If your house is a dark color, the paint will tend to fade over the years; if this is the case, try to touch up only where you caulk.
• When you paint and when we paint for you, always use the best quality paint on the market. HIgh quality paint with longer durability, while more expensive initially, will last and make a big difference because you don't want to re-paint you house 2 years later.
