If the paint on your home's exterior is peeling, or if you're ready for a new color, talk to an exterior house painting contractor about having new paint put on. You may need to wait until the temperature warms up enough to have paint applied, so late spring through the fall are good times to schedule exterior house painting.
However, since warm weather is the busy season for painters, you may need to schedule the work a month or two in advance, so you don't want to wait until the last minute if you want the new paint on by a specific date.
If you plan to repaint the outside of your home soon, you may choose to wash down the exterior yourself. Exterior walls can build up with mold, mildew, and a host of other debris over time. If you use the wrong cleaning methods to clean your home, it may cause more problems than you expect. The information below can help you choose the best way to clean and paint your home today.
Shake siding is a beautiful type of siding; sometimes it's made of wood, although it can be made of other materials as well, including vinyl. If your shake siding is looking a bit rough, you can add a splash of paint to give it new life. Painting shake siding can be a bit of a chore, as it is difficult to get in between the grooves of the shake, and it has multiple pieces that you have to paint around.
