Surprising Benefits of Exterior Painting in the Bay Area

Painting your home is an investment; there’s no doubt about it.

But, like any good investment, you can expect it to pay off, delivering a return that you’ll definitely find valuable.

As a side note, you may be asking yourself how long you can expect your exterior paint to last. There are a number of important contributing factors to consider, and for more on that be sure to check out these keys to beautiful, lasting exterior paint. Entering the painting process knowledgeably can be the difference between a frustrating 3-4 year paint job that quits early and an enduring 7-10 year finish.

What Are the Tangible Benefits of Professional Exterior Painting?

We can start with the obvious: a beautiful paint job looks fantastic, instantly boosting curb appeal and pride of ownership. This is also a practical way to showcase your own preferences, taste, and personality.

Beyond just looking fantastic, however, high-quality paint also works hard for you and your home.

How exactly? Here are just a few of the ways that your paint is working over-time.

Did You Know That Your Paint...

Protects against termites and other pests that are looking for a new place to live?
Protects against the elements, including UV damage, moisture, salt, and more? It’s the first line of defense!
Can increase the lifespan of your home’s siding?
Protects against the destructive power of mold and mildew?
Offers one of the highest levels of return on investment of any home improvement project?

Let’s dig into that last point a little more. It’s worth it, don’t you think?

Return On Investment for Exterior Painting

As a homeowner, you likely look at most home improvement projects (the larger ones anyway) through the lens of long term investment and what return you can expect. It just makes cents (and dollars).

Painting, interior and exterior, offers a lot of value, often allowing you to recoup a large portion of what you paid. It also can help your property attract interest and move on the market faster.

One Final Word of Advice...

We suggest carefully researching your painting company. Find someone who doesn’t simply offer bargain pricing, but is licensed, insured, stands by their work, and has a track record of doing things the right way. You’ll never regret it!

“In September, MBJessee finished painting two sides of our 3-story condominium building (six owners). We were impressed by the professionalism of the company and every one of its workers, Matt Jessee couldn't have been more helpful in planning the project. His painters were well-trained, easy to communicate with and eager to please. In addition to painting the stucco, they made extensive repairs on windows and frames, which will save us considerable money in the future. They finished earlier than anticipated, with as many as five men working on the job, and the scaffolding came down the next day. All of us were delighted with the results. Now my husband and I are looking forward to having MB Jessee paint our own apartment later this month. Matt and Gustavo (who will be our crew leader again) have explained how they will work to make the painting proceed smoothly while we're living here, and they have been endlessly patient with our protracted decision-making process. If you look at their website, you'll learn that MB Jessee is an exemplary company that takes good care of its workers as well as its customers, and contributes public service projects to the community. All in all, we can't recommend MB Jessee highly enough.”

“I want to express my thanks for a job well done. The rooms look great and there is no problem with any marks on the all the trim, floor, carpet, etc. The paint job is lovely. I also want to express my thanks for the level of professionalism the foreman showed in running the job. He was very attentive to any changes I needed to make, was extremely careful in getting the faux paint color and effect correct. Thanks so much for a job well done.”

“The finish on my kitchen cabinets had failed, becoming tacky and grimy around the handles. M B Jessee gave me a reasonable quote, far below some others, and did an outstanding job, striping the original varnish and refinishing with a new lacquer finish. The cabinets look like new. Work was done 1 day faster than estimated. The crew was extremely hard-working, considerate, and neat. Highly recommend M B Jessee.”

“Dear Matt,You must be so proud of your men! They were fantastic to have around. Polite, courteous and hardworking. I am so pleased with the outcome of our home--in fact, I couldn't be any more pleased than I am!”

“MB Jessee just finished our exterior and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The foreman (Pedro) and lead painter (Ricardo) were incredible to work with: they communicated scheduling clearly, Ricardo was a joy to be around every day, the showed up early every day, were incredibly tidy and did great paint work. The final walk through experience was incredible. Pedro pointed out items I missed demonstrating a clear desire to complete another quality project. I highly recommend them. As others have noted they definitely aren't the cheapest but you quickly realize that you're getting what you pay for. The 3 year guarantee is also a nice touch since there are likely touch up items that will show up after the job is done.”

“The completed 'Client Satisfaction Survey' we sent in only modestly reflects our total satisfaction with the work. As a retired small business owner, I compliment you on setting 'best practices' that are consistently followed. Everything described in your marketing materials was a reality! The crew is a super bowl team and our neighbors commented on how quiet they were. We are very happy to be a client of MB Jessee.”
