Your home is your sanctuary. It’s a place to unwind, relax and recharge from the stresses of everyday life. However, before you can do that, you need to make sure your surroundings are clean and welcoming – especially if they’re on the outside! Whether it’s a one-story ranch or a multi-level McMansion, fresh paint will give your home exterior an updated look while also protecting it against harsh weather conditions like sun exposure and rainstorms. If this sounds like something you might be interested in doing soon (or even if not), here’s how to get started.

The first step in painting your home exterior is to choose the right color. This can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be! If you’re not sure where to start, try finding shades that are popular in your area or go with a classic like white or black. You can also take inspiration from the surrounding environment. For example, if your house is surrounded by greenery, you might want to consider colors that compliment nature, like green or brown.

 

Once you’ve chosen the right color, it’s time to start prepping your home exterior for paint. This includes removing any old paint or debris, caulking any cracks or holes, and priming the surface. If you’re not sure how to do this yourself, there are plenty of professionals who can help – just be sure to get quotes from a few different companies before making a decision. However, if you’d like to do it yourself, check out this useful project planning guide to help you stay on the right track!
