Outdoor Home Improvements to Consider for This Fall Season

With cooler temperatures and the winding down of the year, the fall season in the Naples, Florida area is the perfect time to take care of various outdoor home improvement and maintenance projects. Not only do such projects help beautify your home, but in many cases, help maintain and enhance your home’s value.

Whether annual maintenance or new upgrades and additions, FCI Painting is a fully licensed and insured contractor with highly skilled personal who are able to quickly and efficiently address many outdoor projects that may be on your to-do or wish lists. Here, then, are some key outdoor projects that you may want to consider this fall, whether you do it yourself or bring in the experts from FCI Painting:

Pressure Wash The Exterior

Pressure wash cleaning is perhaps one of the easiest and cost-effective means of giving your home a renewed look. And the longer it’s been since a fresh coat of paint or pressure washing, the more effective this treatment is in both beatifying and enhancing the value of your home. While this can certainly be a do-it-yourself project if you have the right equipment, professionals will ensure correct pressure flows and negate concerns about water intrusion behind siding or under shingles.

Soft Washing The Roof

Roofs in southwest Florida are especially subject to mold and algae growth due to our humid climate. Not only can this growth quickly make our roofs look much older than they actually are, but that mold and algae is slowly causing damage, no matter what the roofing material. Because the high pressure flows of regular power washing can potentially damage roofing material and its underlying support, FCI Painting relies on a minimally invasive, eco-friendly soft washing system that treats and removes the build up of mold and mildew, as well as dirt, dust, grime and other contaminants. As with exterior pressure washing, a soft wash will make your roof like like new.

Other Roof Maintenance

And, after you get your roof soft washed, our team of experts can give your roof a full inspection for damages caused by weathering, corrosion, or age. In most cases, we can fix minor damages with a roof maintenance coating specifically designed for the Florida climate. For totally wether-worn roofs, FCI Painting offers complete roof painting, which can add years to your roof and also increase your home’s value.

Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance

The proper functioning of your home’s gutter system is crucial to maintaining the value of your home. Water ingress in the foundation or seepage below the roof line due to clogged gutters can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home if left unchecked. Gutter cleaning and inspection should be tops on your list for annual outdoor home maintenance.

Touch-Up Painting

Fall is the perfect time to add a dash of fresh paint to any areas around your home’s exterior in need of a touch up. Whether trim work, the weather-side of your home, or the deck, the fall is the perfect time to take care of smaller paint jobs. Touching up the weathered side of your home, as well as any compromised trim work, will better help protect those surfaces from further damage from the elements. A freshly painted deck makes it look like new. And, for an easy project that will make your home stand out and enhance value, consider painting the front door. You will truly be amazed by the difference a freshly painted door looks like from the curb.

Reasonably Priced & Very Detailed

We have a three unit, two story condo building that needed an exterior painting job we awarded to FCI Painting. Their proposal was reasonably priced and very detailed. Richard Foden’s came to estimate the job and took the time to explain the process, answer questions and provide recommendations (that help us in our process). We received four proposals and FCI’s stood out making our decision straight forward. FCI crew was professional and the foreman ‘Eduardo’ exceptional. On a daily basis’s he communicated what to expect, what they would be achieving and the crews next steps. Crew was courteous and cleaned up the grounds every evening. We highly recommend FCI Painting company. Thanks

I honestly cannot recommend this company enough. I was attempting to find painters in Naples while I was still in Canada. Richard and his team were so helpful in the process, going above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. They were thorough, professional, and one of the best prices I found in the area. Incredible service.

Can’t Recommend FCI Painting enough

I can’t recommend FCI Painting enough! Owner Richard Foden runs one of the finest painting companies I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. When my business moved into our new office, we started researching painters in Naples, FL and FCI came highly recommended. The commercial painters that Richard works with are prompt, thorough and professional. After working with them in a business setting, I’ll be certain to give Richard a call next time I’m in need of house painters as well.

Competitive & Fair

FCI Painting did an outstanding job for us and we are more than pleased with the results. We found the pricing to be competitive and fair. Our painter, Chris, was an expert craftsman, patched several areas of drywall that needed attention and helped us work through a problem we had with one of the colors we chose. We would definitely recommend FCI painting for anyone looking for a quality job at a fair price.
