Summer renters, sandy feet, luggage rolling through the hallways—by September, your shore home has likely picked up a few battle scars. Even the most careful guests can’t prevent the wear and tear that comes from constant use. High-traffic areas like entryways, stairwells, kitchens, and bathrooms tend to show it the most.

Where to Focus First

• Walls & Trim: Scuff marks, scratches, and chipped paint are common after a busy season. Touch-ups or a fresh coat instantly brighten and refresh.
  
  
• Hallways & Stairwells: These areas absorb the most bumps from luggage and beach gear. Patch small dents and repaint to restore a clean look.
  
  
• Doors & Entryways: Salt air and sun exposure wear down exterior paint quickly. A refresh here boosts curb appeal instantly.
  
  
• Bathrooms & Kitchens: Humidity and high use lead to peeling or faded paint. Fresh coats not only improve appearance but protect surfaces.
  
  

Why It’s Worth the Effort

Paint touch-ups don’t just improve appearance—they extend the life of your walls and surfaces. Regular upkeep prevents deeper damage that requires larger, more expensive repairs down the road. For rental homes, fresh paint also makes a strong impression on returning guests and helps marketing photos stand out when next season’s listings go live.
