Exterior house painting tips! Basic steps needed to paint a house with quality results.
| Typically when painting a house, you are dealing with wood, however, there are some cases that you may be dealing with metal, and plastics. The same basic procedures are required of nearly all paintable surfaces. The most important step is preparation! Even if you buy the best quality paint, and use the highest quality applicators, if you do not prepare your surface properly, your paint will fail.  Step 2: Clean area thoroughly. Dirt and mildew will interfere with your paint's ability to do its job! For general cleaning, TSP does a good job in preparing an area for painting. It is available in liquid and powder form, or you might consider using a pressure washer, or a hose with house wash. For cleaning mildew, you should use a mixture of bleach and water. This will kill the mildew and prevent it from coming back later. Allow your house to dry and go choose your paint and primer!  Step 4: Choosing a paint: Be sure your paint is for exterior use. There are a variety of shine levels for you to choose from, flat, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss, being the most common. There are also two basic types of paint, Oil based and Latex. Latex being the easiest because it clean-ups up with soap and water, yet once it is dry it performs well. Oil based paints hold up well to climate, however it remains slightly tacky because it is constantly curing, and never really dries completely. All exterior paints are washable, but you may want to ask your local paint outlet for recommendations on the products that will last the longest, and offer the best protection. Estimate the number of gallons you will need (one gallon covers roughly 350 sq. feet), and choose your color! Don't forget to pick up a brush, roller, roller pan, painting tape, and whatever else you think you may need!  Step 6: Painting: Decide which applicator would do your job best and go to town! Remember to use bumpers on all ladders to ensure stability. Once you have your whole project completed allow drying time! Also, don't forget to allow a painted surface to dry for at least 24-48 hours before re-coating (unless specified on your can). Even if a paint feels dry to the touch, it may still have moisture in it that could cause your top coat to falter.  Depending on what you are painting, climate, and paint type, drying times will vary. Be sure to read the back of your can for specific information about drying. |
