Prep the Exterior Like a Pro
Have you finally decided to repaint the outdoor structure of your house? If so, you have made a great choice. Repainting the sidings will help bring back a gorgeous and well-protected surface. After picking a new paint color and hiring a professional exterior painter, you might want to prepare your place for the project.
How to do it properly:
Remove Your Outdoor Belongings
First and foremost, you want to make sure you avoid ruining the items you place outdoors. Remove wall decors, signs, potted flowers, hanging plants, mats, benches, and even rocking chairs to clear the way. You can put them in a safe crate and place them inside the house until the work complete. Doing so will protect them from stains, spills, dents, scratches, and other damage.
Protect
You are not going to be painting every area of the surface. You need to protect the porch floor, deck, trim, windows, doors, knobs, handles, light fixtures, and switches from paint spills and stains. You can use plastic sheeting, drop cloths, or newspapers for this. Make sure you seal it correctly. Paint can be difficult to remove, especially when it is on wiring. Your exterior painter can help you with this, but it is always a great idea to be well-prepared. Right?
Clean and Repair
If you wish to enjoy a gleaming and smooth finish, you should paint on clean and dent-free surfaces. You can’t expect a magnificent result if the walls are covered in dust, tape marks, dirt, stains, spots, grime, mold, and mildew! Also, the outcome won’t be beautiful if there are holes and cracks on the structure. Before you add a crisp new coat of color, use a good wall cleaner to remove pesky dirt and ask for help from your expert to help you repair the drywall.
