How to Prep Your Home’s Exterior for Summer Storms & Humidity
Summer Weather Can Take a Toll on Your Paint Job
Warm, humid summers in Pennsylvania don’t just mean barbecues and beach days—they also bring some real challenges for your home’s exterior. Constant sun exposure can cause fading, while moisture and sudden storms can lead to peeling, blistering, and even rot in untreated areas.
At DSJ Painting, we know what it takes to protect homes in the West Chester area from seasonal wear and tear. With over a decade of professional painting experience, we’ve helped homeowners keep their properties looking sharp, even through unpredictable Northeast summers.
Is Your Home Ready for the Season?
Watch for these early warning signs that your exterior paint is breaking down:
Fading or chalky residue when you run your hand along painted siding
Peeling or cracking, especially around windows, doors, and wood trim
Dark stains or mildew, indicating trapped moisture
Soft, warped, or rotting wood, often caused by poor sealing
Noticing any of the above? It might be time for a refresh, before summer weather makes it worse.
