Exterior painting is the process of applying paint or protective coatings to the outside surfaces of a building, such as walls, trim, siding, doors, windows, and sometimes roofs or fences. It serves both aesthetic and functional purposes.
Surface preparation: Power washing, scraping off old paint, sanding, and repairing cracks or damage.
Priming: Applying primer to ensure better adhesion and longer-lasting results.
Painting: Using weather-resistant paints for siding, brick, stucco, wood, or metal surfaces.
Detail work: Painting trim, shutters, doors, and other architectural features.
