How to Plan Exterior Painting Before Summer
Plan your scope and preparation before the short Northwest painting season.
Begin with a look at the surfaces
Note peeling paint, worn trim, dirty siding and areas that need repair. Photographs can help you explain the project when you first contact the crew. An estimate discussion should cover the surfaces to be painted and the preparation needed.
Choose colors with the whole property in mind
Consider the roof, existing materials, neighboring structures and the details you want to highlight. Color consultation can help you think through the options. Check any applicable association requirements before finalizing your choice.
Make room for preparation
Cleaning, scraping, sanding and repairs take time. Those steps need to be included in the plan rather than treated as an afterthought. Ask what preparation and repairs the estimate covers.
Understand the weather window
Exterior painting needs suitable conditions for application and drying. The right schedule depends on weather, the coating and the condition of the surface. Plan early and discuss how weather changes will affect the agreed dates.
