Why You Need Professional Painters for Painting Hardie Siding

Posted on August 24, 2020

Hardie siding is a popular exterior in Hilton Head. We’ve painted countless homes with Hardie siding. Every single one of the customers we’ve helped said that they wouldn’t have been able to achieve the same results as we did, and you know what? They are probably right.

Painting Hardie siding isn’t easy. It’s not like painting the interior walls of your house. There’s a certain way you should paint Hardie siding and we’re going to tell you how that’s done to help you understand how intricate it really is.

What You Need to Know About Painting Hardie Siding

Primer

Did you know you don’t need a primer for your Hardie siding? Many people think they do but they don’t. All you need to do is clean off the dust and dirt with a hose. Pressure washing is recommended BUT it has to be done with the grain of the Hardie siding or it will ruin the exterior. This will lead to many more home improvements.

Type of Paint

The paint needs to be 100% acrylic exterior paint. It must not be an oil-based paint or stain.

Even Painting

You need to make sure your paint the exterior as evenly as possible. This will ensure that when people look at the outside of your house they don’t see different hues of the color you chose. Our painters spray the paint onto the exterior to ensure even coverage, but that’s not always possible unless you know how to use the sprayer the correct way. Our painters have had a lot of experience doing this, which is why we always tell people that it’s best to invest the money in the beginning for professional Hardie siding painting vs. doing it yourself, and then having it re-painted.
