More Exterior House Painting Tips and Advice
Exterior Painting Made Easy
(ARA) – Is your home's exterior a bit worse for the wear after winter's onslaught
of snow, ice and wind? Or perhaps it just needs a little freshening up to welcome
the new season. Either way, it pays to invest in tools that will help you do
a professional painting job, and get it done quickly so you can enjoy
the fruits of your labors.
Before you start the actual painting of your house, you"ll need to
do a little prep work. Here is some exterior house painting tips and advice.
If there are any rough or peeling patches on your exterior, they"ll
have to be sanded down and smoothed. Repair any other damage you find as you
inspect the house as well so that once you start painting, you won't
have to stop to address these spots.
Next, make sure you protect your outdoor furniture, your grill, and your plants
from any stray paint. Anchor drop cloths make this job quick and easy. These
innovative, circular drop clothes feature a drawstring design that means the
cloth stays on the protected item. They're great for indoor use, but you"ll
really appreciate them outdoors if the wind starts blowing. Using the drop clothes
eliminates the need to move all your patio or deck furniture, and also protects
your landscaping.
You"ll also want to protect your windows from unwanted paint coverage. Taping
these areas can be time consuming and awkward. Glass Mask provides an easy alternative.
Simply use the bottle applicator to spread a thin film which acts as a protective
barrier between the glass and paint. When you're done painting, use
the included blade to scrape off Glass Mask and any stray paint.
