If you want to give your home and property an upgrade you can accomplish that in a few ways. Of course cleaning up the plants and landscape is one. You can also take some time to add some flare to the front of the house and the walkway. Lastly and to make a big impact you can have the exterior of your home painted. When you upgrade the color and the paint of your house you are increasing the value of the residence and the curb appeal as well. You want to make sure you know what goes into the process of painting the exterior of the house. There are lots of things that have to be done in advance and that is why most people will hire a professional to do the work for them. If any of the prep work is skipped the outcome of the paint job may not be what you want. L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc outlines what needs to be done when preparing to painting the exterior of your house.

Clear Area Around House Before Painting Exterior

The first thing you need to do is to make sure the area around the house is cleared away. There are lots of houses that have belongings that are close to the house and could be a way to block the painters from working. This might be bikes that are in the backyard. It can be lawn equipment or cars that are parked in front of the house. All of these things need to be cleared away so that the work can begin.

Paint After Power Washing

Now that you know you are ready to paint the house you want to make sure it has been cleaned. Not the inside of the house but the outside. You might not know what you can do or have done to clean the house since it is so large and tall. The best way to have this done is to have the house pressure washed. They can come out and clean the house with pressurized water that removes the debris from house that includes dirt. The pressure washing will clear away all kinds of debris that could otherwise get in the way when you paint the house.

Make Repairs Before Painting

You also need to make sure you have any areas of the house repaired. There are some areas that can see damage that include the wood around the windows and doors. You also could have a problem with the siding or stucco that is used on the exterior of the house. You want to make sure that any repairs that are needed are done before the painting is started.

Hire a Professional to Paint the House

Now that the house has been prepped you want to have the painting process started.  This is best done when you use a professional painting company. They can make sure that the paint is applied to the house properly and the right type of materials are used.
