Protect Your Home’s Exterior from Winter Weather
Unfortunately, we have little control over the havoc that winter weather can wreak on our homes. In New England, homeowners see snow ranging from light and fluffy to wet and heavy, dangerous ice storms and unforgiving freezing rain.
While you cannot secure your home in a bubble for the duration of the season, you can take some simple steps to help protect the exterior of your residence all winter.
Check Your Paint
During the fall season, we can see seasonably warm temperatures before winter weather arrives. Take advantage of these mild days to get outside and inspect your home’s exterior paint job.
If you notice buckling and chipped paint or rotting wood, act now to ensure the damage does not worsen over time. Make your paint touch-ups and contact a professional to evaluate the state of the wood.
Clean the Surface
Pressure washing is popular maintenance in spring, but it should be done in the fall too. When winter arrives, you may not see your lawn, porch or fence without a pile of snow on top for several months.
If you clear away dirt and debris beforehand, you are protecting these surfaces from further contamination. For your paint in particular, it is better suited to face the elements clean than dirty.

If you work in a garage, school, restaurant or other location with highly-trafficked floors, a commercial floor coating may be beneficial for your business. These materials can resist the effects of constant foot traffic without compromising the look of non-carpeted floors. 
Living in New England, many of us are used to an abrupt transition from hot to cool weather between seasons. When autumn arrives, kids are back to school, beach gear is packed away until next year and pumpkin spice lattes return to keep us warm when temperatures drop. 
Is bold always better? Not when it comes to the walls in your home. As painters, we love the freedom to express feelings through color, but also recognize that vibrant shades can have a negative effect on a room’s ambiance. For instance, painting the bedroom bright red when that space is meant to be serene and relaxing for sleep.
