Exterior Paint That Lasts A Lifetime!

Exterior Paint That Lasts A Lifetime!

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Builders are in the business to help Homeowners and make a profit, simple. If your Builder doesn't offer a product or service to you the consumer, it's not because he's lazy, it's because he doesn't believe in the product or service. If your Home Builder doesn't use a product it should give you pause.....

If a lifetime paint was a good idea, he would paint his houses with it, simple.

See Consumer Reports:

If paint is peeling on your custom home, it's because moisture is getting behind the paint and pushing it off your house. Look at an aluminum screen enclosure, gutter or soffit. How does the paint look? Do you see any paint peeling? Of course not, that's because water cannot pass through metal so the paint normally doesn't peel.

Paint on the exterior of your Central Florida custom home is a tricky issue. Your house has to breathe. Homeowners and their activities like showers and cooking produces moisture. That moisture has to have a way to get out of your home. HVAC systems help but your home has to allow moisture to pass through walls and ceiilings. If your exterior wall paint doesn't breathe, the moisture will stay trapped inside your home and walls or push the paint off the wall, trying to exit the structure. Paint has to seal your home but not too much!

Beware of any company that tells you their paint will last a lifetime.
