Painting your house can protect and rejuvenate both the interior and exterior surfaces of your house. It can enhance the visual appeal and increase the value of your house.
It can also promote good indoor air quality since it keeps dust and dirt away.
Here are the things you must do before you start painting your house:
1. Remove Stuff
- You will need space to paint your house. It is, therefore, necessary to remove the stuff near your house walls.
- For instance, bikes, furniture, building materials, stacks of tiles and firewood and even overgrown grass and shrubs can block your house walls. Remove them to get enough space for painting.
2. Remove Cat Runs
- If you want to paint over cat runs, you need to remove it first. In some cases, it is impossible to paint the eaves, gutters and fascias since you cannot reach above the cat runs.
- A cat run cannot take the weight of an adult. It is, therefore, much better to remove it before painting your house.
3. Plants
- Plants can touch the walls of your house. You can trim or remove them to provide access. If the branches are bendable, you can tie them back.
- It might be necessary to remove some plants to provide space for placing the ladder. If you want to cut big branches, it is much better to call professionals to remove them.
4. Pets
- If you are using ladders to paint your house, your pets can be a hazard. If they run under your ladder, they can knock the ladder.
- In addition, your pets can walk in paint and walk with the paint throughout your house. You can remove your pets before you begin painting.
5. Windows & Doors
- If your doors and windows are tight before you paint them, they can stick once you paint them. It is, therefore, crucial to repair your doors and windows before painting.
- Repairing them can prevent them from sticking. Once you paint them, open and close them to keep them moving.
