Exterior painting can be a lot more complicated than interior painting, yet many homeowners still attempt it on their own. Unfortunately, this DIY project usually results in weeks to months of work that doesn’t hold up well or even needs to be corrected. You can avoid that giant headache by calling a professional to handle the job.

Why You Should Hire a Professional for Exterior Painting Projects

1. They Take All Safety Precautions

Experienced and licensed painting contractors have learned the right methods to safely paint the outside of a home. They’ve also invested in tools and equipment to protect them and your property while they are at work. Most importantly, they don’t just jump into painting your house. They will first develop a plan to handle your home’s specific needs.

2.  They Do the Prep Work

Before exterior painting can begin, several steps must be taken to prepare the surface of the home. Professional painters will perform a thorough inspection of your home to determine what work needs to take place. This might simply consist of pressure washing to remove dirt and mildew, but it might also involve more intensive steps like repairing rotting wood or cracks in the siding.

3.  They’ll Only Paint at the Right Time

While you might think anytime you’re free is a good time to paint your house, professionals know better. Exterior painting requires temperate weather. Hot weather dries paint too quickly, and temperatures below 50 degrees could make it hard for the paint to stick. Rainy and windy days should also be avoided because these conditions can make bubbles in the paint.
