Masonry paint: the good and the bad bits about painting a house

Exterior masonry paint is something that everyone knows about and most people have had to use this at some point, but when it has to be done every single year, the costs really start to rise.

Is exterior paint any good?

Or are there other methods of covering the exterior of your home that are better value, more cost effective and more durable?

After all, when money is tight,  surely paying to have your house painted every year becomes a false economy?

The big paint companies know this, which is why, if an everlasting paint were to exist (Which it might), it would never see the light of day on the shelves in the shops, because paint companies want you to paint every year, that’s how they make their money!

The drawbacks of normal external paint.

The obvious downside or drawback is the fact that House external paints posses a limited lifespan of usually only 2 years maximum, and that is being generous. If your house has a coating of masonry paint, it WILL start to deteriorate after the first winter.

Another big drawback of external paint from your local DIY shop is the fact that the paint is purely decorative, almost like “coloured water” and provides no long term decorative solution, or any weatherproofing properties.

The obvious downside or drawback is the fact that House external paints posses a limited lifespan of usually only 2 years maximum.

It must be noted that another big drawback of external paint from your local DIY shop is the fact that the paint is purely decorative, almost like “coloured water” and provides no long term decorative solution, or any weatherproofing properties.

This means that once external paint, the normal stuff, is on your wall, it wont look good for long.

When a house needs more than external paint….

There are many houses that having just a coat of paint is not enough and if you have been in the situation where you own a house with walls in poor condition, many decorators are only interested in applying paint to your walls, and that is all.

The biggest issue with that is the fact that if your house walls have hollow render, mouldy walls or cracks, then a builder or rendering expert has to be found to repair the issues, before even the paint cans are opened!

Painting your own home

Unless you in the “trade” already, and are a “dab hand” (pardon the pun) at painting houses, it’s a sure bet that if you plan to paint your own house this year, chances are you may encounter a few stumbling blocks…..

  • It can take a long time. Do you have the staying power?
  • You will need the correct tools and brushes etc. It all adds to the cost.
  • You will need to go up ladders. Do you have a head for heights?
  • Are you are of health & safety issues? We don’t want to see you in Hospital.
  • PREPARATION! Do you REALLY know what to do?

As you can imagine, painting your own house is fraught with danger and potential disappointment for the unwary but well-meaning home decorator!

Why put up with all this hassle year on year?
