A lot of homeowners wait until the trim is so badly weathered before they decide to paint their trim. Homeowners need to realize one thing, maintaining the exterior trim of your home is one way to prevent mold and mildew inside of your homes.

Painting the trim of your home is more than cosmetics, you actually seal the penetrations that might develop from weather, house settling, or insects that are looking to find a new home.

Your home is your most important investment, and maintaining the integrity and safety of your home should be just as important. When you let your exterior trim go exposed to the elements you are creating more problems than mold and mildew, you are in fact allow the structure of your home to weather and decay as well.

Homeowners should consider painting your trim every 4-5 years. I know paint manufactuers claim they will gaurantee their product for 25 years, in some cases, but that’s with a very limited warranty that is discounted with every year that goes by. The only thing they are warrantying is the material, they aren’t giving you a warranty against damage. They will also inform you that it is always safe to maintain your exterior trim. They will use things like house settling, and insects as a way to void their warranties.
