3 Important Things To Consider When Painting Your House

Home exterior painting is one of the most important tasks in home renovation and requires extra attention to be executed to perfection. The first thing that catches the attention of a house is the exterior painting finish. Therefore, it is important to get the job done properly. Failing to do so will only ruin the aesthetic appeal of your property leaving a poor impression on your style and taste. Here are some of the best tips and tricks to ensure that the exterior painting is prompt and immaculate.

Keep the Weather in Mind

The Campbelltown weather can be very extreme and it is not an unknown fact. Therefore, you should plan ahead of painting your exterior walls. One of the best times to paint the house is spring season. Winter has just faded, it is no longer extremely cold, neither it is too tiringly hot. The weather also remains fairly straight during this time of the year. However, before you start with the painting task, make sure that you are fully aware of the weather forecast. Choose a dry time of the year with little to no chance of rain and humidity. Otherwise, the paint will not stick to the wet surface as the paint requires enough time to dry.  

Picking the Right Exterior Colour is Very Important

Before you choose the right colours for your exterior house painting, it is important to know whether your house falls under the category of home owner’s association. If it does then you might have to stick to a certain colour scheme. The rules are set by the local association to maintain the standards and property value of that neighborhood.

However, if you are free from that bindings stick by three shades of colours to design your exterior walls. The reason for three shades is because there are usually three parts to the exterior design of a house. First one is the colour that is fully sued to paint the dominant parts of the house, the second one is used to paint the areas with depth such as the shutters and thirdly, the colour for the window and door frames, railings and trims. However, if you are confused on picking the right colours for your home, you can ask your local residential painter for advice.

 Long Lasting Shine Saves Plenty of Money

The exterior part of your house is constantly exposed to the surrounding environment. It is continuously fighting dirt, dust, rain, storm, sun and pollution to keep the interior of your house safe and protected. Therefore, it is important that you buy the right weather coat paint that is not just of high-quality but lasts a long time. You certainly do not want your paint to start fading or peeling off within the 6 months of painting. In addition to that, it will not financially help your cause to re-paint the exterior walls every year (unless you want a different colour). Therefore, you need to buy exterior house paint that can endure the harsh Campbelltown weather for the next 5-6 years at the least.
