You\u2019ve made the decision to paint the exterior of your house!\u00a0 Congratulations, you\u2019re about to improve the look and value of your home.\u00a0 Here are some helpful tips to get your project started by our team of professionals:<\/p>\n

\"exteriorTune Into the Weather<\/h2>\n

Weather is a key element when making the decision to paint your home.\u00a0 One rainfall can ruin your paint job and cost you lots of money fixing the problems that can occur.\u00a0 Don\u2019t leave it up to chance!\u00a0 Look at your weather radar around the entire area of your home when you\u2019re deciding on when to do your paint job.\u00a0 Look at multiple weather reports and choose your timing precisely.\u00a0 Look for signs of the weather changing while painting and take precautionary measures when protecting your work.<\/p>\n

Get the Necessary Supplies<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re going to need quite a few different supplies before you start your project.\u00a0 It\u2019s best to consult a professional when getting the correct amount of paint for your home. The worst case scenario is not having something you need and having to go get supplies mid-paint job. This can cause multiple issues with the look with one area of wet paint drying while a fresh coat goes on next to it.<\/p>\n

Also, you\u2019ll need quite a bit of time. It takes hours to cover each surface with multiple coats of paint. Most homes require a primer layer of paint prior to actually starting to paint the color of your choice.\u00a0 Best practices include painting a coat, letting it dry, then painting another coat.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need paint brushes, rollers, extensions, lots of paint, a primer (if your home requires it), ladders, drop clothes, and lots of patience to pull off such a big job.\u00a0 Or you can just hire a professional and skip the laundry list.<\/p>\n

\"edgingEdge Work: When to Do It<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s your choice. It\u2019s probably one of the most difficult parts of the process. You can get it out of the way upfront so you can roll the rest of the job.\u00a0 Others like to take the bulk of the process out of the way and then finish it off with a bit of edge work.<\/p>\n

Hiring Professional Painters<\/h2>\n

The best time to ask for help is before you\u2019ve committed your time and resources to painting. Get a professional estimate from CertaPro Painters\u00ae so you know what you’re up against and you can compare the costs.\u00a0 There are so many variables when completing the job yourself, it\u2019s best to leave those \u201cwhat ifs\u201d to the professionals.<\/p>\n
