We can all agree that there has been a lot of damaged created by the storms in June and July. Most homes show signs of paint flaking around the trim on windows. This is especially true on the west side where the weather caused the most damage. This becomes a major concern as most likely the caulking of the window may have also been damaged. The worst thing that could happen is to disregard this. If your window begins to leak within the wall and you don't notice, it could be a year before you notice your siding rotting out. A simple prime, caulk and paint will do your window wonders.
This is also true for the rest of your house. The storm may have weakened the coat of paint on your home. Most homeowners do not realized how vital paint is to the protection of your siding. It guards against UV and moisture damage while maintaining a vibrant home. It is important to make sure that the hail did not tear off any paint, even of the smallest amount. If your home experienced damage in other areas it may be wise to invest in a paint job within the next couple of years. If anyone has any other questions feel free to post in this forum.
