As this unprecedented pandemic evolves, Walla Painting continues to make the safety of our employees and customers our top priority. Although we don’t know how the COVID-19 virus will behave, Walla Painting’s staff will continue to follow the CDC and local health officials guidelines.
It’s also important to keep your home protected with a fresh coat of paint. We can provide exterior painting services with no personal contact required during the shelter-in-place mandates.
Safety First
We take our customers' concerns seriously. Our painters are mindful of their health and safety and that of our customers. According to health officials, one of the ways to contain the spread of the virus is to limit contact with others. Exterior painting services can still be provided with limited or no contact.
Our professional painters are following all CDC guidelines while still providing good service without personal contact. These guidelines include:
- Giving virtual estimates on any paint project
- Painting the exterior without entering the home
- Accepting payments online
- Washing hands and using hand sanitizer
- Answering questions and concerns by phone or facetime
- Emailing invoices
- Wearing masks and protective gear, as required
Walla Painting will ensure every step of our process, from project estimation to prep work to payment, is safe and easy. Even without the face-to-face nature of the painting business, we can reassure customers that access to our staff and services will continue with no interruptions.
Boost Protection and Curb Appeal
Exterior painting is important because it affects the appearance and the protective barrier of a home. It’s important to continue to tend to your home’s exterior during these times. Paint acts as a deterrent against the elements and rotting. Delaying painting your home’s exterior could lead to costly damages later on.
If you choose to have us paint your home’s exterior now, you’ll get ahead of the pack. Once the shelter-in-place order is lifted, there will be a lot more customers looking for painting services.
1. Protective Coating
The paint on the exterior of your home doesn’t last forever. Due to exposure to high winds, snow, ice, humidity, and heat, paint begins to show signs of aging. Without revamping the exterior now, the paint will continue to peel, crack and blister. When paint begins to crack or peel, water can infiltrate through the surface and cause more damage. This gives mold and fungus the means to grow.
Paint forms a waterproof surface for water to roll off the house surfaces to the ground. It also fills small gaps and holes that could otherwise serve as collection points for water. Paint keeps out unwanted substances and protects what’s inside.
A new coat of paint can provide immediate protection and prevent costly damage down the road. Painting your house is one of the most cost-effective ways to avoid expensive repairs. Keeping a house painted is one of the best defenses against premature aging and rotting.
2. Improve Curb Appeal
Maintaining a good exterior appearance is part of the upkeep of a home. Curb appeal is an important term in real estate. If you’re looking to sell later on, repainting the exterior of your home can increase its value and grab the attention of potential buyers. The quickest way to make your home look cleaner and brighter is to paint the exterior.
The color of the existing paint can change over time. The UV rays from the sun can cause fading. The choice of color has the biggest impact on a home’s style and curb appeal.
3. Moderate Temperatures
Whether you need to update the color of your home or want to preserve your home from the elements (or both!), spring is the perfect time to get your exterior painting done. The temperatures are mild which is ideal for the paint to adhere and dry properly. The days are longer, warmer, and dryer.
Paint does not mix well with humidity, moisture, or intense cold. If the temperatures are hot the paint could dry too quickly causing it to blister. If the temperatures are too cold the paint could stain or grow mildew on the surface due to moisture.
4. Shorter Wait Time
If you schedule your exterior painting now, you will get it done more quickly. Once the COVID-19 pandemic is under control and life returns to a more normal situation, the high demand for interior painting services may mean you’ll have to wait even longer to get your exterior painted.
