Introduction

If you’re looking to update your home’s exterior, Spring could be the best time.

March 20th is the official first day of Spring, make it count with a memorable exterior paint project, here are some things to consider.

Quality Paint

A lot of procrastination regarding exterior painting projects is the cost.

We are all tempted to go with cheaper paint, but think of it like this, if you have low-quality and cheap material, do not be surprised that the final project does not look like the vision you wanted.

Quality over quantity, this means you will paint and touchup fewer times, and save money in the long-run.

Primer

Fundamentals of painting always started with a coat of primer, sanding, and then painting.

Despite of this still being a good process to follow, there’s new paint technology that will combine primer and paint into one.

This means less coats that need to be applied, despite of the new paint being more expensive, the pricing can be comparable to purchasing primer and paint, and the job can be done quicker.

Top to Bottom

Gravity. That is the reason why you want to start from the top and work your way down to the bottom.

Streaks can be controlled better this way and you will be working with gravity instead of against. Drips will happen, but with this method the risk is controlled due to the direction you are working.
