Preserving the historic beauty of your Virginia home is key to the structure’s longevity, which is why hiring a professional historic painter is a no-brainer when planning a remodeling or renovation project. Even if your interior/exterior needs a simple touch-up, calling in the experts is always advantageous to you, as well as to the home itself.
Historic painters have thorough expertise and knowledge on everything that is required to successfully complete a historic home painting project without affecting the value of the home. They often help you add value to your home, because:
- They are well versed in historic paint colors and know the best types of paint for historic homes.
- They will complete all the prep work (like caulking and fixing anything that is damaged) very carefully, always being aware that these types of homes can be particularly fragile
- They have a great attention to detail.
- They will only use the best quality paint to ensure your historic home’s interior and exterior holds up well over time.
- They use special equipment to reach high walls and siding that won’t risk any damage to the home.
- They are experienced with scraping and striping and know how to avoid damage to the wood in order to preserve the uniqueness and beauty of the structure.
It takes special skills and attentiveness for historic home painters to restore and maintain the historic elements of a home that needs touching up or updating. When you go to sell your home, potential buyers will want to see that the home has been well taken care of. They want to be able to visibly note that the paint has been restored without tarnishing the historic appearance of the home.
Sure, you can try to tackle the paint project of your historic home on your own, but do you really want to risk making mistakes that might end up decreasing the value of your home? These mistakes might be costly to fix, so hiring a professional historic painter will ensure that the job will be done beautifully the first time, and will guarantee that your historic home will be preserved for years and years.
