Cincinnati Exterior House Painting
Painting is one of the fastest, easiest, and cheapest ways to add real value to your home. Quality materials and proper technique are important when painting
the interior or exterior of your home. Homes in older neighborhoods such as Columbia Tusculum with it's beautiful painted ladies and the lovely painted
homes of Wyoming or newer homes in Mason, Union and Maineville need to be refreshed periodically.
Professional painters identify exterior house painting as the most important home maintenance project that can be done. Often the paint and caulking is all that
is stopping damage from the weather and water. When you decide to refresh the paint on the exterior of your home, don't forget that it's a detailed process.
Planning prevents problems. You will need to prepare the exterior surface of your home.
This includes cleaning the exterior thoroughly by washing the surfaces to be painted. Pressure washing is the best method but should be done with caution
as not to damage your siding, windows or brick.
The next step is scraping and sanding. The scraping and sanding should be combined as each can find loose paint the other technique missed. For rough
wood, such as rough sawn cedar, your only choice is to use a wire brush. Wire paint stripper attachments for power drills can also be used. This is the most
labor intensive part of exterior painting, but the most important. All of the loose paint must be found and then removed; this forms the foundation for the entire
paint job. Use caution when scraping and sanding because homes built prior to 1978 may contain lead based paints. Our professional painters have the
experience and knowledge on how best to deal with these situations.
The final stages of preparation are caulking, masking, covering landscape with plastic or cloth coverings and priming the surface.
Now that you have your home's exterior prepared for painting, chose the best quality paint for your budget. In doing so, you prolong the life of your exterior paint
job and reduce your overall project cost. Home Services Link members receive a discount for paint and painting supplies with Sherwin Williams. The most
common exterior painting methods are brushing and rolling or spraying. Both work well and are suitable for most surfaces.
Every different type of surface on your home can require a different exterior painting technique. Plus, which painting technique that is used will depend on the
type of finish you choose. Generally there is four categories of surfaces; the body, trim, windows and doors.
The body of your home is the largest are to be painted. Homes in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky typically are constructed of siding or brick, but you may also
have a home or garage constructed of stucco or concrete block. Whether you have vinyl siding, wood siding, steel siding, aluminum siding or masonite siding,
you can paint the surface with the proper paint and preparation.

paint color for your fascia boards, gutters, soffits, corner boards, window frames and door frames.
