Wood shutters need to be scraped and sanded with fine sandpaper, while vinyl shutters require a wipe down and broom to remove any lingering items like webs and dirt.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><strong>Choose Your Paint Wisely<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u00a0The type of paint you use is very important! Shutters will present different surfaces for painters to work with, including vinyl and wood. Finding a paint that is recommended for the surface you will be refinishing is key.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><strong>To Remove Or Not To Remove?<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">There are two ways to approach shutter painting. The shutters can be removed or left on. Unless the siding underneath needs a fresh coat of paint as well, painting without removal can be a great option so damage to any section of the exterior is mitigated, including the brackets holding the shutters in place. Masking the sides of the shutters and using an angled brush will assist with a professional application of paint. Two light coatings should have your exterior looking brand new in no time!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Shutter Painting with CertaPro Painters<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">CertaPro Painters\u00ae of Fredericksburg can assist in your shutter painting endeavors as well!
