Hi, I’m Steve from Mastercraft Painting here in San Diego.

We’ve just completed the painting of the exterior of this home and I just want to talk a little bit about care and maintenance

Two biggest things that are going to wear a paint job down is the sun, water and moisture. You can’t really do a whole lot about sun but you can do some things to properly maintain your house, that is properly adjusting your sprinkler systems to make sure they’re not constantly wetting the surface and just going to tear it out.

Properly adjust your sprinklers and then annually you just want to wash and rinse the house down and just keep an eye out on the wood for signs of wear, cracking in the paint film and that’s a good indication that it might be time for a freshen up the coat and we actually offer service for every two years, or after two years, we’ll come out and do an inspection and if we notice anything like that, we can do a quick coat before it gets out of hand, before the prep gets too expensive just to maintain the home.
