Exterior painting is one of the most cost-effective ways to refresh your home and protect it from the elements. A little preparation on your side helps the project run smoothly.
1. Choose The Right Time Of Year
Paint performs best in mild, dry weather. Avoid extreme heat, cold or rainy periods, which can affect adhesion and drying.
2. Clear The Area
Move patio furniture, grills, planters and vehicles away from the house. Trim back shrubs and branches that touch the walls so the crew has clear access.
3. Pick Your Colours Early
Test sample swatches on different sides of the house and look at them in morning and evening light. Consider your roof colour, stonework and neighbourhood style.
4. Understand The Prep Work
Professional painters will power-wash, scrape loose paint, sand rough areas, repair damaged wood and caulk gaps. This prep is what makes a paint job last.
5. Plan For Pets And Family
Keep pets indoors and plan for windows and doors to be masked off for a day or two during work.
