When you paint the exterior of your home or commercial space, you want to get the best results. The time, money, and effort spent should amount to nothing less than perfection. We know this––and so do other painting companies. But how can you be sure to get the best exterior painting job? Our professional painters are here to give our insider secrets. Following these tips will make the painting process easier and the final product better. Our professionals have completed thousands of exterior painting projects across the Chesterfield and Hanover areas and perfected the art of painting. Here is what we have to share with you!

Cover Surrounding

Once things are clean and repaired, you’ll want to make sure to cover any areas that you do not want paint on. Paint can be messy, especially when you’re applying to large surfaces such as the exterior of your home. Be sure to cover any electrical outlets, plants, and air conditioners. You’ll want to lock these covers down with tape, too. If you’re painting your home interior, don’t forget about the ceiling! Light fixtures and fans should be properly covered or put away before the painting process begins.

Thoroughly Clean Your Surface

The most vital step to a house painting project is to properly clean the surface getting painted. Many painters that take on home painting on their own skip this step; however, doing so will result in a paint finish that won’t look as good and won’t last as long. If your wall or ceiling has dirt or oil on it, your paint will chip and peel prematurely. With that being said, we truly cannot stress enough how important this step is.

All that is required––and recommended––to clean the surface of your home is sugar soap, sponges or washcloths, and a bucket. After a solid scrub down of the surface you’ll be good to go! Trust us, your future self will be thanking you for taking this step seriously.

Hire the Best House Painters

With so many house painters in the Chesterfield/Hanover area, it can be quite stressful to find the best one for your painting project. Every painting company has their own way of doing business. Painting teams don’t always have the most experienced and skilled people. Prices vary greatly. All of these factors can make you run from the idea of painting the exterior of your home. Be sure to check all the reviews on your prospective companies!
