The exterior coating or paint on your building façade is your buildings first line of protection. Choosing the right product for your building is certainly important, but maintaining the surface and keeping it in good shape is equally important. The paint or coating on your building is not simply there for cosmetic reasons....the coating should be designed to keep water from penetrating the substrate and help with weatherproofing the building.

Buildings in New Jersey for instance, may be subject to lots of humidity, rain and eventually mildew growth. The mold, mildew and sun will start to break down the coating over time. Proper maintenance means inspecting the building every once in a while to be certain that your exterior coatings are in good working order. Eventually the building will need to be repainted, and an experienced contractor can help you choose the appropriate product for your surface.

The types of coatings available today are many, and you can completely change the look and curb appeal of your building while providing the utmost protection. There are elastomeric coatings that are great for many masonry surfaces that offer more elasticity...and there are coatings that come with aggregate inside which will offer you that contemporary stucco look and feel. You can even do a 2 tone design for more personality of your property. Whatever you choose, always remember that it needs to provide protection, and never wait till the old coating is in such terrible shape to the point that moisture is causing damage to the substrate
