OK so you are ready for a new refresh on your home exterior and you are thinking that slapping on a fresh coat of paint will do the job. There might be some things you need to consider before doing this. Here are some things you need to remember before painting the exterior of your home.
Weather – Choosing the right time of year to start your exterior painting project is critical. In Palm Beach County summers are hot, oppressive, wet, and mostly cloudy so choosing the right weather pattern where you have mostly dry conditions is a key factor because the paint will not adhere to wet or high levels of moisture.
Quality of Exterior Paint – If you have a home that is wood you can expect the exterior paint to last about 5-7 years. A good stucco surface the paint can last up to 10 years. Choosing the best quality will give you more bang for your buck in the long run.
Preparing Your Exterior Surface – The surface of your home might be dirty or old paint has begun to chip. It is important that your home is free from any debris before you begin. Taking the time to scrape off any loose paint and wash down and dirt off the exterior of your home will save you any problems or hassles with your paint adhering to the service.
Using a Good Primer – Using a good primer will not only extend the life of your paint but will also act as a sealant as well as cut down the number of coats you will have to apply. Using a combined primer and paint might seem more expensive but can actually be very comparable when you add the cost of both together.
