How do I know when my building needs repainting?

The most reliable way is a professional building condition assessment. Signs that repainting may be overdue include: chalking or fading of existing paint (colour appears dull or rubs off on your hand); cracking, peeling or bubbling of the paint film; biological growth (moss, algae or lichen) on the facade; water staining or dampness on interior walls near the facade; rust staining from reinforcement steel; and visible surface deterioration or substrate damage. If you notice any of these signs, contact Avello Group for a free building assessment — early intervention is always significantly cheaper than delayed remediation.
