Quality Exterior Paint Combined with Quality Preparation Equals Quality ResultsPrepare for the Task Probably the single most important aspect of exterior house painting, besides quality of exterior paint, is the quality and thoroughness of preparation; readying the house surface prior to painting. Exterior Paint This directly affects the quality and durability of resulting exterior paint finish. A poor quality exterior house painting job can require attention again in as little as 3 years; a quality job done by a professional house painter can last up to 20 years. Evaluating Surface Painting Conditions When evaluating a surface for exterior house paint, condition of existing paint surface as well as type of substrate will dictate what needs to be done. Is the substrate wood, stucco, metal, or wood substitute? Bare wood exposed to weather for any length of time, such as a window sill, may be rotted; requiring replacement before painting. There are three levels of existing paint condition severity: * Class I minor paint damage and soil accumulation; usually requires no paint removal. * Class II visible break down and cracking of top layers of paint; involves some paint removal. * Class III significant paint failure; break down and cracking of multiple layers of paint; requires total paint removal to bare substrate. Because different areas of the house surface are subjected to varying conditions, different class conditions may exist throughout the structure. Therefore, careful inspection is crucial in making an accurate evaluation. Removing the Dirt Class I conditions include soiling; such as dirt, insect or animal nests, soot, pollution, and cobwebs. They may also include mildew, chalking, or staining. Soiling can be cleaned using mild detergent and a garden hose; use a medium soft bristle brush to scrub stubborn soils. Using a high pressure power wash will be quicker and more effective. Mildew is caused by lingering moist conditions. If possible, remove the cause; such as low hanging tree branches etc. Mildew can be removed using a non-ammonia detergent and bleach solution; one cup detergent, one quart bleach, and one gallon warm water. Note: when repainting, consider using a mildew-resistant paint primer. 1.
