Question 1

How long will the paint last?

Accepted Answer

In our experience, the curbs we painted, that sit in direct sunlight, often crumbled up, cracked, and lasted a significantly shorter timeframe than curbs in a shady spot, which last a couple of years. So, it depends on the geographical conditions like weather and temperature.

Question 2

What’s the purpose?

Accepted Answer

Curb numbers are super helpful for firefighters and emergency personnel, not to mention the direction of package delivery has had on the industry over the past 4 years, and I see Amazon, UPS, and Fed Ex delivery becoming a large part of how consumers receive their products. Addresses that are physically located on a home can be poorly lit or shrouded. Duplicating the address on the sidewalk provides a backup in case the other address is not visible. It also looks nice to have a fresh address painted on the curb, especially if the neighbors have news ones and/or you have an old, crusty one.
