Top 7 Things to Consider Before Painting the House

Choose your paints carefully as not all brands offer paints that perform in high or low temperatures. Although most paints have weather-resistant properties, it is better to choose a day that is not too hot or cold to carry out the job. Also, be mindful while painting the house exteriors in the rainy season. You do not want the rain to mess up the fabulous colour.

A good primer ensures adhesion of the paint accurately to the wall, adds additional protection and increases durability. In addition, it fills the holes and cracks and acts as a solid base for the painting work. 

Focus on the quality of the product rather than the price tag. You wouldn’t want to invest in a brush that leaves stroke marks or a paint that wears out in a few days. For example, a quality product might cost more but sustain for longer than a cheaper alternative that might need a repaint within a year. Opting for the right tools can be a game-changer for home painting. 

Always paint your walls from top to bottom. A good tip for home painters is to start from the ceiling and then paint the bottom. Paint from one wet surface to another to avoid lap patches. If this is not possible, paint on a previously painted or dried surface. Moreover, use a roller after brushing for a smooth flat surface.

Painting the house calls for immense patience. Watching one coat dry is a tiresome process. One might feel like jumping to another coat when the first coat has not dried off properly. Instead, give the first coat the desired time (usually mentioned on the paint package) to dry and avoid any mishaps in the final finish.
