HOME IMPROVEMENT TIPS |

(NAPSI)-The exterior of your home is the first impression you give the outside world and a good paint job is critical to your home’s appearance. Ed Waller, co-founder of CertaPro Painters, offers these easy-to-follow tips to make painting the exterior of your home easier: • First, evaluate the condition of your house. Look for bare wood, metal or masonry surfaces. That’s where the paint is worn and you need a new coat. You might have other problems, such as moisture, that a professional painter should assess for you. • Use a cleaning solution to remove dirt on siding. Scrub well and rinse thoroughly. • Prepare your house well if you are repainting it. Some loose paint is obvious, but some is hard to find by just looking at it. • Buy the best paint possible for the exterior of a house. The same goes for brushes and rollers. • Be sure to paint in the shade on a bright day. Painting in the sun can cause the paint to dry too fast and blister. • Brush first, then roll. Paint the trim last. Learn more at www.certapro.com. Exterior of a home painted by CertaPro Painters. |
