How Well Does Your Home's Exterior Measure Up?
As spring arrives, it's the perfect time to assess your home's exterior for painting.
Springtime offers ideal conditions for home improvement projects, with mild temperatures and lower humidity that are perfect for exterior painting preparation.
Assess Your Home's Exterior Condition
Inspect for Damage
Check for cracks, peeling paint, loose siding, or areas where the wood is rotting. Minor issues can be addressed during preparation, while major damage might require a professional contractor.
Consider Weathering
Evaluate how the elements have impacted your home's exterior. Sun exposure, rain, and wind can cause fading, discoloration, and cracking. This assessment will help you choose the right paint and protect your home from future damage.
Prepare the Surface: Cleaning and Priming
Fill in cracks or holes with a patching compound, ensuring a smooth and even surface for painting. Allow the patching material to dry completely before priming.
Apply a primer that matches the type of paint you'll use. Primer provides a barrier between the surface and paint, enhancing adhesion and improving the finish's longevity.
Thorough Cleaning
Remove dirt, grime, mildew, and loose paint with a pressure washer or cleaning solution. A clean surface ensures the paint adheres properly. Pay attention to areas around windows, doors, and trim for optimal results.
