🛠️ What a “Maintenance Refresh” Includes (And Why It’s Worth It)
1️⃣ Intro: When “Good Enough” Isn’t Great Enough
Your home was painted just a few years ago. It’s still holding up fine, but it’s starting to look a bit tired. You’re not ready for a full repaint yet, but something needs attention. That’s exactly where our Maintenance Refresh comes in. It's about keeping your house protected and polished without the cost of a full exterior repaint.
2️⃣ What It Includes (And What It Doesn’t)
✅ Maintenance Refresh Covers:
Pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and pollen
Caulking around windows, trim, joints, and seams
Spot-priming bare patches or peeling areas
Brushing or spraying touch-ups on siding, trim, gutters, and fascia
Minor repairs, like filling nail holes or replacing short sections of fascia
Color-matching to blend repaired areas seamlessly with existing paint
❌ It’s Not a Full Repaint:
It does not include changing your color
It is not a fix for old substrate issues or rotten wood
It is not “free paint” — we charge for the time, prep, materials, and care it takes
3️⃣ Why It’s Smart for Lewis County Homes
The PNW climate, especially around Centralia, Chehalis, and the rest of Lewis County, brings plenty of rain, humidity, and UV exposure. That all adds up to wear and tear on your paint over time. A targeted refresh:
Extends the life of your paint job
Boosts curb appeal quickly and affordably
Helps prevent more costly damage, like wood rot or water intrusion
Is ideal before selling or to maintain your home’s look
Pro Tip: Doing a touch-up like this every 3–5 years can stretch your full repaint cycle to 10 or more years. That saves time and money in the long run.
4️⃣ When to Schedule One
It might be time for a Maintenance Refresh if you notice:
Faded or chalky siding on sunny sides
Cracked or missing caulk
Peeling trim or gutters
Dirty gutters or fascia
Nail holes showing through
