Transform your home with interior and exterior paint!

Do you want to paint the exterior wall of your house? Remember, the new paint you need for this must be prepared thoroughly. The expert interior and exterior painters suggest the new color will only hold on a well-cleaned surface.

The exterior wall is something like the calling card of every house and is constantly in danger: wind and weather cause it to fade, crumble, and become dirty. If the wall is not damaged, it needs a fresh coat of paint every few years. The experts always follow a step-by-step plan for wall painting. 

Scaffolding, cleaning, and masking

In multi-story houses, scaffolding must be placed on the walls to reach every corner with a painter's roller and brush. On the one-story house, it also works without it. But before even a splash of paint, the first thing to do is to spotlessly clean the house's walls, preferably with a high-pressure cleaner.

Once the wall has dried, it's time to mask it cleanly. Windows, doors, lamps, and rain gutters, for example. The floor in front of the façade is covered with a painter's fleece to protect it from splashing paint.

Disinfecting and priming

Algae, mosses, or mold can stop you from getting a proper look at the exterior wall. Kill them with a special disinfectant before painting. Otherwise, they will quickly eat their way through the new wall paint, and after a few times, the wall will look ugly.

According to Birmingham Painting's expert local house painters, always remember to add primer first. There is a suitable primer for every surface. 

Check the weather

Before starting work, always check the weather forecast. In case of heavy rain, blazing summer sun, thunderstorms, or temperatures below 41 degrees Fahrenheit, leave the brush off the façade. Only start if you want it to stay dry and moderately warm for longer.

After all the thorough preparatory work, it is finally time to start with new paint on the wall. Start with a primer coat and roll out diluted paint, using a flat brush to outline all corners, such as windows and doors, with paint.

The correct painting technique is crucial to avoiding streaks. The quickest way to create large, contiguous areas is with a paint roller on a telescopic pole. Professionals do this in a cross-method approach: first from top to bottom, then from left to right & finally again from top to bottom. Everything should be done as quickly as possible so that the paint is still wet everywhere until the last strip.
