Houston's subtropical climate presents unique challenges for exterior paint:
Houston's strong sun quickly breaks down inferior paint, causing fading and peeling.
Moisture leads to mold, mildew, and paint failure if not properly addressed.
Hurricanes and severe weather can damage siding and expose underlying materials.
Fresh paint dramatically improves your home's appearance and value.

💡 How Often Should You Repaint?
