First off, before undertaking any paint job, you want to ensure that you have all the proper materials to complete the task at hand. Here are some essential items that College Pro Painters utilizes when painting your home: trash bags, painter’s tape, caution tape, drop cloths, screw driver, hammer, rags, ladders, vacuum, scrapers, utility knife, priming brushes, siding brushes, trim brushes, primer, and paint.

 

When you start the job you want to make sure that you have all your materials on hand and laid out for easy access. You may end up wasting time if you don’t have all of your materials and if they are disorganized to where you can’t find things easily.

 

 

College Pro Painters firmly believes that the most important part to any paint job is the prep work.  If the preparation of the house is not done thoroughly and correctly, then the job will not last.  You first want to rent a power washer from your local Sherwin Williams paint store and thoroughly wash down the entire house. This will get rid of all the dirt and mold that could keep your finish coat from properly adhering to the building. After the wash make sure you allow ample time for the building to dry out. If you paint over a damp building, the paint will surely peel. Next, when you are scraping, making sure to scrape from all angles; this will ensure that any loose paint will be removed.  Any areas that have been scraped back to the bare-wood should be properly primed with a good quality oil-based latex primer.  After the surface has been properly washed, scraped, and primed, now you are ready for your finish coat of paint. With the finish coat, you want to make sure you apply an even coat, and, as College Pro Painters would say, “keep your edges wet” (paint brush edges) to keep from creating lap marks in the sun. Always paint on the shady side of the house, and for your own safety, whenever you are on a roof wear a safety harness.

 

Well, there it is, “do it yourself” painting tips from College Pro Painters, which should make your life much easier when you take on the task of painting your home.
