A flawless exterior paint job starts with solid preparation—and in Southwest Ohio, proper prep is crucial due to our ever-changing weather.
Before anything else, inspect the siding and trim for cracks, rot, or mold. Fix these first to ensure the paint adheres properly.
Pressure washing removes dirt, mildew, and old paint chips. It's a must for proper bonding. Skip this step, and you're basically painting over problems.
Loose or flaking paint? Time to scrape. Smooth it out with sanding to ensure even coverage.
Bare wood or patched areas need primer—especially with Ohio's freeze/thaw cycles. It helps prevent peeling down the road.
Cover windows, landscaping, and fixtures. Clean lines and no overspray = professional finish.
Conclusion:Prepping your home's exterior may take time, but it’s worth every minute. Ready to skip the hassle and get professional results? Call Richardson Custom Painting for a job done right the first time.
