«Summer in Florida is synonymous with bright sun, high humidity, and often, intense rain. These climate conditions can be challenging for your home’s paint, both interior and exterior. At Pro Paint FC, we want to help you maintain your painted surfaces fresh and vibrant throughout the season. Here are some key tips:
- Choose High-Quality Paints: Opt for paints designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, with good resistance to UV rays, humidity, and mildew. At Pro Paint FC, we use premium materials that guarantee durability and a flawless finish.
- Properly Prepare the Surface Before Painting: Adequate preparation is fundamental to ensure paint adhesion and durability. Thoroughly clean surfaces, repair cracks, and eliminate any trace of mold or mildew. (Our minor repairs service is ideal for this).
- Consider Light Colors for Exteriors: Lighter colors reflect more sunlight, which helps keep surfaces cooler and reduces stress on the paint.
- Ensure Good Interior Ventilation: Indoor humidity can affect paint. Use fans and air conditioning to keep air circulating and reduce moisture buildup, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
- Wash Exterior Areas Regularly: Dust, dirt, and mildew can accumulate on exterior painted surfaces. A gentle wash with water and mild soap can help keep the paint clean and prevent deterioration. (Our pressure washing service is perfect for a deep and safe clean).
- Inspect and Touch Up: Perform periodic inspections for small damaged or moldy areas. Addressing these issues promptly with touch-ups will prevent them from spreading and prolong the life of your paint.
- Protect Your Outdoor Furniture: If you have painted outdoor furniture, consider covering it during heavy rains or when not in use to protect the paint from direct and prolonged moisture exposure.
By following these tips, you can enjoy fresh and vibrant paint in your home throughout the Florida summer. If you need professional help to paint or maintain your spaces, don’t hesitate to contact Pro Paint FC!»
