4 Steps to Prepare Your Exterior Wall for Painting

Are you planning to paint your exterior wall to increase the property value? Wait; don’t make decisions in a hurry, because if you start painting except preparing it properly, the new paint will expose the imperfections. Now, this is not expected, right? So, to prepare your house before applying exterior paint in Los Angeles, check these 4 steps!

1. Pressure-washing the walls 

Before applying the new paint, remove dust and dirt from the exterior wall for ensuring the best coverage. Wash the wall in a controlled and smooth manner, overlapping every stroke by around 8 inches.

2. Repairing the damaged surfaces 

You can't apply paint on the damaged surface as, after painting, it will expose the faults. So, for best results, properly check the perimeter of your house by taking notes of the surfaces like stucco, siding, metal, wood or masonry. To solve these issues, you can apply epoxy filler on the holes or cracks with the help of a spackle knife. After the walls become dry, you can lightly sand by using a sanding block with medium grit.

3. Removing loose paint 

If the exterior wall becomes dry, carefully check if there is any chipped or loose paint before applying exterior paint. If any loose paint is found, place a cloth on the ground, then remove the loose and chipped paint with the help of a medium-grit sanding block or a paint scraper. 

4. Filling the gaps 

Fill the gaps between the walls and then trim around the windows and doors by utilizing a caulk gun or exterior caulk. If your house is built by using the mixed materials like brick and siding, you can add caulk.
