5 Signs It’s Time to Repaint an Interior Room

As homeowners, we’re so concerned about the outward appearance of our house that we can sometimes neglect the interior. When you spend hours mowing the lawn, weeding the garden and manicuring the shrubbery, there’s less time to keep the inside tidy. One day, you notice that the walls of your interior rooms are looking lackluster. Is it time to repaint? Consider these 5 signs before making a decision.

You’re Ready for Change

Have the walls been the same color since you moved into your home? Maybe it looked new at first, but years later, you no longer like the color scheme. As furniture and home accents evolve, so should your paint colors. If it’s time for a facelift, start browsing paint samples!

The Paint Is Peeling

When moisture seeps below the protective layer of interior paint, it can lead to premature peeling. This often happens in rooms like the bathroom and kitchen. Although it may not bother you at first, trapped moisture can also cause mold to form, which can be toxic.

The Colors Are Fading

Interior rooms that see plenty of sunshine during the day can start to fade after repeated exposure. Even if the paint application is holding up fine, you may feel dissatisfied that the original color you chose for your walls is a shadow of its formerly vibrant shade.

You Notice Bad Blemishes

Especially when you live in a home with kids, your walls endure a lot of wear and tear from day to day. If you see scuff marks, fingerprints or dents and you’re unable to wash away or repair on your own, sometimes the easiest solution is a complete room makeover.

The Paint Is Blistering

Unfortunately, some painting companies do rush jobs, painting in poor conditions and skipping important steps. If the surface was not properly prepared for paint application or damp during the process, small bubbles can start to rise below the paint film.

The appearance of your home is important to you, but sometimes life can get in the way of regular maintenance. If you notice any of these signs and decide it’s time for an interior room makeover, contact the team at M. Brett Painting Company to schedule an assessment.
