The Ultimate Guide to Maintaining Your Home’s Exterior with TEX-COTE® COOLWALL®

Your home’s exterior is constantly exposed to the elements—rain, wind, dust, and harsh UV rays. If you've invested in TEX-COTE® COOLWALL®, a premium exterior coating system, you already benefit from its durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. However, to maintain its longevity and keep your home looking pristine, routine maintenance is essential. This guide covers all the best practices for keeping your TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® finish in excellent condition for years to come.



1. Regular Cleaning: Keep Your Exterior Spotless

Dirt, dust, and pollen naturally accumulate on your home’s surface over time. Regular cleaning prevents buildup and ensures the vibrant finish of your TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® remains intact.


  • Use a garden hose to rinse off dirt at least twice a year.

  • For tougher grime, mix mild detergent with water and gently scrub with a soft brush or sponge.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could compromise the protective coating.


2. Inspect for Damage: Early Repairs Save Costs

Regular inspections help detect minor issues before they escalate into significant problems.


  • Check your home’s exterior for cracks, chips, or any other signs of wear at least once a year.

  • Promptly repair any imperfections to maintain the integrity of the TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® coating.


3. Trim Nearby Vegetation: Prevent Scratches and Moisture Buildup

Overgrown plants can cause unexpected damage to your walls.


  • Keep shrubs, trees, and other vegetation trimmed and away from your home.

  • This prevents scratches, moisture retention, and potential mold growth.


4. Address Mold or Mildew Early: Prevention is Key

While TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® has mildew-resistant properties, humid climates can still lead to mold development.


  • If you notice mold or mildew, clean it immediately using a mixture of water and white vinegar or a specialized mold remover.

  • Regular inspections can prevent mildew buildup and keep your exterior looking fresh.


5. Avoid High-Pressure Washing: Protect the Coating

TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® is highly durable, but improper cleaning techniques can damage its finish.


  • Do not use high-pressure washers, as the force can strip away the protective layer.

  • Stick to low-pressure water cleaning methods to gently remove dirt and grime.


6. Check for Water Drainage: Prevent Foundation Issues

Proper drainage is crucial to maintaining the health of your home’s foundation and exterior.


  • Ensure gutters, downspouts, and drainage systems are clear and functioning properly.

  • Standing water near your foundation can seep into walls, affecting the coating and overall structure.


7. Maintain Touch-Ups When Needed: Preserve Aesthetic Appeal

Although TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® is resistant to fading and cracking, occasional touch-ups may be necessary.


  • If you notice minor damage, use a matching touch-up paint to seamlessly blend repairs.

  • For extensive damage, contact a professional contractor experienced with TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® applications.


8. Stay on Top of Annual Maintenance: Long-Term Protection

A well-maintained home exterior not only looks great but also increases property value.


  • Schedule annual inspections and cleaning sessions.

  • Regular upkeep ensures that your TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® finish remains fresh, vibrant, and effective in energy efficiency.


9. Protect During Home Improvements: Avoid Unintentional Damage

Renovations and home improvement projects can inadvertently cause damage to your walls.


  • Before beginning any exterior work, cover your walls with plastic sheeting to prevent spills, stains, or accidental scratches.


10. Partner with Professionals: Ensure Expert Care

For deep cleaning or extensive repairs, it’s best to hire trained professionals familiar with TEX-COTE® COOLWALL®.


  • A professional will know the best techniques to clean, repair, and maintain the coating without compromising its integrity.
