🏠A quality exterior paint job is about much more than just color. Proper preparation and planning can make the difference. UP Painting proudly serving residential customers for over 15 years.
Here are our Top 5 Exterior Painting Tips:
✅ 1. Don’t Skip the Prep Work
Power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding, and repairing damaged areas are the foundation of a long-lasting finish.
✅ 2. Fix Wood Rot Before Painting
Paint won’t solve wood rot. Damaged wood should be repaired or replaced before any paint is applied.
✅ 3. Choose Quality Paint
Premium paints provide better coverage, durability, and protection against New England weather.
✅ 4. Paint at the Right Time
Temperature, humidity, and weather conditions play a huge role in the final result and longevity of the paint.
✅ 5. Protect Caulk and Sealants
Proper caulking around windows, doors, and trim helps prevent moisture intrusion and extends the life of your home.
