Your home’s exterior is more than just a pretty face—it’s the first line of defense against New York’s harsh weather, from icy winters in Harrison to humid summers in White Plains.
A fresh paint job doesn’t just enhance curb appeal—it protects your siding, boosts your home’s value, and prevents costly repairs.
Wondering if it’s time for a repaint? Here are 7 signs you shouldn’t ignore.
If your once-vibrant blue or classic beige now looks dull and tired, sun exposure and UV rays have likely broken down the paint pigments.
South-facing walls in places like Rye Town and New Rochelle fade fastest.
Fading means your paint’s protective qualities are wearing thin.
Solution? A fresh, UV-resistant coat can restore your home’s beauty and armor.
Peeling and bubbling paint isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a warning sign:
Moisture has breached the paint barrier.
It can lead to wood rot, mold growth, or even structural damage.
Catch it early and schedule a repaint to avoid extensive repairs.
Paint isn’t just decorative—it seals and protects your home’s exterior materials.
Cracked or flaking paint often reveals rotting trim, window frames, or siding underneath.
Especially common in older homes across Ossining and Mount Pleasant.
A full exterior inspection and repainting by Master Contracting can stop small issues from turning into major ones.
Dark green patches or black spots mean moisture is lingering:
Mildew and mold can compromise not just your siding but your family’s health.
Stains also ruin curb appeal and may indicate hidden leaks.
Power washing combined with fresh, mold-resistant paint brings back your home’s sparkle.
Run your hand along your painted wall—if you feel a powdery substance, that’s chalking:
A natural breakdown of older paints, especially under strong sunlight.
Chalking means your exterior paint is no longer effectively protecting your home.
Time to repaint with premium, weather-resistant paints built for the Westchester climate.
Maybe you bought a house painted 15 years ago—or maybe trends have just changed.
Updating from outdated hues like mustard yellow or mint green can instantly modernize your curb appeal.
Fresh color trends in Westchester include cool grays, soft whites, and rich navy tones.
Master Contracting can guide you in choosing modern, timeless shades that match your home’s style and neighborhood.
First impressions matter!
A freshly painted exterior can boost your home’s market value by 2–5%.
Homes with strong curb appeal often sell faster and closer to asking price.
If you’re listing in Eastchester or Yonkers, repainting your home’s exterior is a smart pre-sale investment.
Typical repaint timelines based on material:
| Surface Material | Repaint Every… |
|---|---|
| Wood siding | 3–7 years |
| Aluminum siding | 5–10 years |
| Stucco | 5–7 years |
| Fiber cement siding | 10–15 years |
Westchester’s four-season weather can shorten these cycles—regular inspections are key.
Painting isn’t just about slapping on a coat of color:
Surface prep (scraping, sanding, priming) is critical.
Choosing the right paints for New York’s freeze/thaw cycles saves you money.
Clean, even finishes elevate your home’s entire appearance.
