Project Process
There is a lot that goes into painting the exterior of a house. It will likely take longer than a weekend. So if you aren’t prepared to handle the following, you may want to hire a professional to handle all of your house painting needs.
Wash – Before painting, the exterior of your house will need to be washed. You can use a pressure washer to do this. It’s best when you start at the top so all of the dirt and grime will go down off the siding and trim.
Scrape – Next, it’s important to scrape any loose paint off of the siding of the house. It’s important to have drop cloths below where you work so these paint chips don’t land in the grass.
Sand – Sanding is a necessary step to smooth the exterior surfaces and create an ideal surface for the paint to adhere to.
Patch – If there are any remaining areas that need repair, they’ll need to be patched up before the exterior is primed.
Prime – Next the surface will need to be primed. Each prime is different. The paint manufacturer will indicate how many coats are needed.
Caulk – Seal all of the cracks and corners so no moister will seep through.
Paint – Finally, it’s time to paint the house in the color of your choice.
