The GDC-era repaint, done properly
A 1980s Palm Bay exterior that’s overdue shows it: faded color, chalking you can wipe off, caulk lines split at the windows. Rolling new paint straight over that buys you a couple of years at best. We pressure wash first, re-caulk, prime the chalked and patched areas, then put on coats that actually bond — so the next repaint is years further out.
