Painting Your Home Exteriors

“Home is an ultimate abode, not only for your physical being, but also for your inner-self to relax and inspire energy for tomorrow.”

Your home speaks the language of your heart, your personal choice and expresses some secrets of your personality. The message begins with the moment onlooker’s eyes fall on exteriors and it elaborates as your guests happily enter your personal space and see the interiors. The colors we use, reveal a lot about our personality.


The first thing our guests notice is a focal point at the entrance therefore it is most important. This is most often than not the front door and it is from here that the design and the color scheme spread towards the surroundings and create a balance and harmony. To create this appeal, exterior wall coatings play an important role.

All of us understand that a good paint job is extremely important to enhance the curb appeal for your home. And it is also an important factor which increases the market value of your property. So take care of following points when need to get the painting job done:

  1. No matter how brilliant your exterior paint ideas are, until you choose the right time of the year to paint, the end result won’t be satisfactory. So it is good to plan ahead and understand your local weather conditions properly. Paint does not stay on surfaces which are wet or damp, so plan your work when there is no humidity and less or no rain. Else your efforts and resources might go waste.
  2. Always use good quality of paints for your walls else you will need to repeat the process often. The paint technology has drastically changed in the recent past and now we have weather proof paints which don’t get affected in extreme weathers that quickly. Therefore do not compromise on the quality of paints you use.
  3. Be sure, the surface you are about to paint is clean, so scrape and sand properly. Or if you have hired labor, make sure they do it nicely, else paint will come out soon because of you will have a uneven or rough surface. The walls need to be smooth and clean before being painted.
  4. While painting, make sure to do the edges nicely. If the paint comes on sidings, windowsills, doors, etc., curb appeal will be spoilt instead of getting enhanced.
  5. Before you start painting the walls, check if the paint already had primer added to it from the manufacturer or not. The new technology offers such paints and therefore fewer coats need to be applied in order to achieve the hue of your choice.
  6. Boxing the paint is yet another good trick pro’s use to get an even shade across the exteriors of your house. It is simply putting all the paint your have in a large container, this will avoid the variations in shades if there may be any, in different batches of paints.
