🛠️ 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
