10 Tips for Professional Exterior Painting at Home

Painting the exterior of your home is a great way to refresh its appearance and increase curb appeal. However, it can be a challenging task if not done correctly. Here are some valuable tips to ensure your exterior painting in Minneola project goes smoothly and delivers professional-looking results.

1. Plan and Prepare

Thorough preparation is crucial before you start painting. Begin by inspecting the exterior of your home for any damages, such as cracks, holes, or peeling paint. Repair any damages and clean the surface to remove dirt, mildew, and old paint. This can be done with a pressure washer a garden hose and a scrub brush. Allow the surface to dry completely before proceeding.

2. Choose the Right Paint

Selecting the right paint is essential for a long-lasting finish. For exterior painting, it's important to use high-quality, weather-resistant paint. Acrylic latex paint is popular due to its durability and resistance to weather conditions. Also, consider the color carefully; lighter colors reflect heat and are ideal for warmer climates, while darker colors are better for cooler areas.

3. Use Proper Tools and Materials

Having the right tools can significantly improve the quality of your work. Invest in good-quality brushes, rollers, and paint sprayers. A ladder or scaffolding will be necessary to reach higher areas. Use painter’s tape to protect windows, doors, and trim from being painted.

4. Prime the Surface

Priming is an important step that should not be skipped. A primer helps to seal the surface, provides a uniform base for the paint, and enhances the paint's adhesion. Use a stain-blocking primer if you’re painting over a dark color or a surface with stains. Apply the primer evenly and let it dry completely before applying the paint.

5. Paint in the Right Weather Conditions

Weather can greatly affect the outcome of your exterior painting project. Ideally, paint on a dry, mild day with temperatures between 50°F and 85°F. Avoid painting in direct sunlight, as it can cause the paint to dry too quickly and lead to blistering. Similarly, avoid painting on windy days, as the wind can blow debris onto wet paint.

6. Apply Paint Evenly

When it comes to applying paint, technique is key. Cut around the edges with a brush, then use a roller or paint sprayer for larger areas. Apply the paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. Typically, two coats are sufficient for a solid, even finish.

7. Pay Attention to Details

Details matter in achieving a professional look. Take your time to paint trim, windows, and doors carefully. Use a smaller brush for these areas to ensure clean, sharp lines. Remove any painter’s tape before the paint fully dries to avoid peeling.

8. Safety First

Safety should always be a priority when painting the exterior of your home. Use a sturdy ladder and ensure it’s placed on a flat, stable surface. Wear protective gear, such as gloves, safety glasses, and a mask, to protect yourself from paint fumes and debris.

9. Clean Up Properly

After finishing your exterior painting project:

Clean your brushes, rollers, and other tools immediately to prevent the paint from drying on them.

Dispose of paint cans and materials according to local regulations.

Remove any drop cloths and clean up the work area.

10. Regular Maintenance

Perform regular maintenance to keep your home looking fresh. Clean the exterior periodically to remove dirt and grime and touch up any areas that show signs of wear or damage. Regular upkeep can prolong the life of your paint job and keep your home looking its best.

By following these exterior paintings in Minneola, you can achieve a beautiful and durable exterior paint job that enhances the appearance of your home and protects it from the elements. Happy painting!

TIMELINE — Present; July 2, 2024.

LOCATION — Greensburg, Kansas.

SYNOPSIS — Nell and Steve close in on their first destination after a two-hour flight from Chicago, nearly twice as long spent untangling a logistical hiccup at the airport to secure a rental vehicle, and the hundred-mile drive to their lodgings. Their day, comprised of frustrations, is made further trying by another visitor to the small town.

The long stretch of highway that laid ahead was as plain and monotonous as the miles that had passed behind them. The flat vistas of beige were a familiar scene to Nell, who had spent most of her childhood looking out windows at similar scenes, straining her eyes to pinpoint the exact terminus of the wheat fields that covered her home state of Kansas. No matter how hard she'd tried, she could never quite place where they ended, their ending points as dubious as that of a proverbial pot of gold.

Nell sat in the passenger seat, laptop balanced on her knees, and squinted out at the passing field of cattle. Next to her, Steve was drumming against the steering wheel to the tune of the soft rock playing lowly on the rental car's radio. The views on the drive were far easier to stomach than the images coming out of nearby towns recently hit by storm cells forming as part of what the news media had dubbed the "2024 Super Outbreak": a sequence of tornadoes primarily ravaging Kansas and Oklahoma. She had cycled through a few of the pictures coming through from photographers on the ground — some of which had run as part of her evening report the night before — before closing the folder in favor of checking her e-mail for what felt like the thirtieth time since she'd tossed Steve the keys to the midnight blue RAV4 and staked a claim to navigate.

The pictures had struck something deep inside her chest. There were images, both still and video, among those submitted to the station that didn't make it to broadcast, could never in good conscience make it to any level of broadcast news. A small town street completely obliterated by the careless dance of a twister, the limbs of a resident peeking through the debris as first responders work to recover what will be found to be remains. Bloodied survivors, shellshocked in the aftermath of the storm. Neighbors collapsed in grief over the loss of their livelihoods, screaming in grief and anger.

It was all too fucking familiar.

Nell reached for her lipstick-stained cup in the center console and drained the contents, willing the cold coffee to wash away the taste of acid on her tongue, but also for the moderate amount of caffeine to keep her alert enough to get to their motel and to check in with her producer ahead of the evening's live report. She had spent most of the previous night staring at the rising sun through the blinds, scarcely reacting to the wake-up call that wasn't hers. If she was lucky, there would be just enough time to sneak in a short nap before she and Steve would have to hit the road again and drive the short distance out to Minneola.

"U-uhh, Eleanor?" Steve stammered, nodding upward to the rearview mirror. "Are you seeing this?"

Steve was, by all accounts, a steady hand when it came to operating a camera. But in all other aspects of his life, Nell knew of him to be a fairly nervous man. He was a creature of habit, a man who enjoyed routine; deviation from the expected left him, as those in the newsroom described, "shaking like a Chihuahua."

This particular deviation was not as simple as Dunkin being sold out of his usual chocolate glazed donuts. As if on cue, timed with the end of the right lane, Route 400 westbound into Greensburg narrowing into a single lane, a vintage green Ford Bronco came racing up behind them. The driver's impatience did not resolve with the distance closed — if anything, it grew.

Nell's stomach lurched, the cold coffee and airplane pretzels incompatible with the shock that crackled through her nervous system as she glanced over at the side mirror and confirmed what she already knew to be true: Arlo Sullivan, her estranged husband, was tailgating them.

"Maybe pick it up a little," Nell offered, gently clearing her throat in an effort to conceal the edge in her voice as she adjusted her posture. Steve had been sitting on the speed limit for the duration of the drive, sometimes dipping below the limit. She appreciated his efforts to be safe, though they were on a deadline. "But don't let him bully you into speeding. I don't think the double-yellows break until we get into town so this asshole's gonna have to finally learn the virtue of patience."

Mandarin Season

When I was little I hated tangerines, but now, now I love tangerines. I love the colour, that bright and warm orange hue. I love the process, the systematic peeling of the firm skin, the meticulous plucking away of the white threads around the flesh. I love the rubbery juiciness and the full sweet taste.

I told my therapist about my excitement for tangerine season. About my strolling through the market in search of the perfect piece of fruitiness. Each stall has a different species, Mojo, Tango, Satsuma, Minneola, Clementina. I walk past the Satsumas. I don’t like those, yellow, soggy, tasteless, yuk.

I walk from stall to stall. My headphones rest on my head, the words from my favourite podcast combine with the buzz of human activity. The sun shines and I squint my eyes as my vision glides over the treasures that are on offer, until I come across the right tangerines.

"Good morning, could I have ten of those tangerines?"

The market vendor nods. She picks up a brown paper bag and counts out ten tangerines.

"Anything else?"

"No, thank you. That was it."

"Debit card or cash?"

I bring my hand up, "card."

With my fresh fruity riches safely in my bag and a newly acquired energy, I walk on. On the hunt for my next treasure; coffee.
