Painting a home exterior in Kenmore, WA can be one of the most challenging things you do this year. However, house painting can also be one of your most satisfying experiences. Here are a few tips from your painting professionals to help you avoid some common problems.
Clean, Clean, Clean
You cannot get your siding and trim too clean. In fact, the cleaner, the better and if you have a pressure washer, you may think about using it. However, you must be careful with painted surfaces and not use pressure over about 1500 psi. Also, do not get too close to the surface while washing. If you are not sure what to do, it is best to wash your house exterior by hand or talk to your paint pros at Rite Painting. They can do the cleaning for you, and their work is satisfaction guaranteed.
Replace Bad Wood
Before house painting, you should replace all rotted or damaged wood. It involves more work and expense, but you can avoid these issues in the future:
* Paint not sticking
* Additional damage to your home from insects and other problems
* Paint bubbles or blisters forming prematurely
Begin at the Top
Some people like to paint areas they can reach first, and then they get out the ladders. This can be a mistake because of running paint. Drips and streaks are easier to control when you work downward.
