Like the proverbial iceberg, any painting project involves more than meets the eye. For every hour spent applying paint, an hour was likely spent preparing the surfaces to receive it. Choosing excellent materials is key to a successful paint job, but so is prep work. Neglecting it can make maintenance much more difficult than it needs to be.
Over time, natural light and extreme temperatures can wreak havoc on exteriors that haven’t undergone the right preparation. To know what must be done, you have to inspect your house from top to bottom, noting cracked plaster and peeling paint. Doors, windows, wood trim, and fascia boards are the usual suspects, but be on the lookout as well for rising damp issues.
The secret to lasting paint is preparation!
