There are lots of people that don’t notice the exterior of their home on a regular basis. You may not realize that the paint, trim and finish are starting to become damaged. This happens over time and can come on slowly enough that it seems to be normal. The great thing is that most people will start to take a look at their home in the warmer months like the spring and summer seasons. These are also the time of year that is recommended to have the exterior of your home painted. If you want to spruce up the exterior of your home you want to make sure you know what you can do. L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc outlines what you can do to spruce up the exterior of your home.

Prepare Trim & Exterior Surfaces for Painting

The first thing that you want to do is to take a look around the house and do an inspection. You are looking for cracks, chips, peeling or damage to the exterior of the home. This can happen on many types of exterior from stucco to siding to your brick homes. You want to also take care when looking at your trim. Most trim around your house happens to be made from wood and if it is not treated right it can start to breakdown and warp. Once you have made notes of the damaged areas of the house you want to have them repaired and fixed by a professional. They can come out to do the repairs and have the house ready for the next step.

Paint the Exterior of House

Now that your homes exterior has been repaired and all the damaged areas have been addressed you can start to have it painted. You want to make sure that you look into the colors that will best suit your home and the look that you are going for. You want to look for a series of colors that will create a beautiful look which usually is two to three colors. It is usually a main color and the accent colors for the trim and the accent areas of the house. The painting should be done by a professional to ensure you get the outcome that you want.

Pressure Wash Home

Some people choose to have their home and the area around the house cleaned. This is a great thing if you are ready to have the home painted or if you want to just have the home and property cleaned. The best way to do that is to have someone come out and pressure wash the home. Pressure washing is a great way to clean the homes exterior before it is painted. It is also a great way to clear the paths around the house such as your walkways and your driveway to help spruce up the homes look.

Clean Windows & Screens:

The other area of the house that you want to have cleaned are the windows and screens on the home. They can be cleaned professionally and you may choose to have the screens replaced if  yours are damaged or discolored.
