WHY IT’S BETTER TO REPAINT THAN REPLACE
If you’ve been considering whether to paint or replace a room in your home, this blog post is for you. Painting is less expensive and quicker than replacing walls, but it can also be more time consuming if there are lots of windows or doors that need to be taken out. And the size of the space will affect how difficult it is to do a good job with painting. We’ll break down all these points and more so that you can make an informed decision about what option would work best for your situation!
HOW TO REPAIR & PAINT VINYL SIDING
Vinyl siding is a popular exterior home improvement option. Vinyl siding has many benefits, including the fact that it does not need painting every few years like other types of siding. However, if your vinyl siding does have damage or needs to be painted, you should know how to do so correctly and safely. This blog post will provide an overview of what you need before repairing or painting vinyl sidings on your home.
1) CHECK YOUR SIDING FOR DAMAGE
It is important to inspect your siding for damage before winter. If it is damaged, you will need to replace it before the cold weather sets in and causes more damage. This post will discuss what needs to be inspected if you are considering replacing your siding this fall!
2) CHOOSE THE RIGHT PAINT
Choosing the right paint can be an overwhelming task. There are so many colors to choose from, and it is difficult to know which color will look best in your home or business. The truth of the matter is that there really isn’t a “right” answer when it comes to picking out paint. However, there are some guidelines you should follow if you want your paint job to last for years!For example, paints such as VinylSafe® colors from Sherwin Williams or the Colors for Vinyl selections from Benjamin Moore are specially formulated and give you the option of using darker colors!Choosing the right paint can be a daunting task for many homeowners. There are so many choices to choose from, and it is hard to know where to start. The first thing that you should do when choosing a paint color is determine what kind of space you will be painting. If the room has high ceilings, opt for lighter colors like whites or off-whites, because they will make the room feel bigger than it actually is. On the other hand, if your ceiling is low, opt for darker colors such as dark blues or grays because these colors will make ceilings seem higher.
3) PREP YOUR VINYL SURFACE
Choosing the right paint color for a room can be a daunting task. There are so many options to choose from and it is hard to know which one will work best in your space and with your personal style. Luckily, this article has outlined some of the most important factors you should keep in mind when choosing paint colors, and provides answers to questions that may arise during your search.
4) START PAINTING
You can get away without using a primer, but you may still need to start with a full coat — especially if the new color requires a primer for proper coverage. When you’re ready to apply your color, you’ll want to do two coats to ensure the best results. You can use a roller or sprayer, as long as you ensure even coverage on the surface. It’s important to make sure you give the first coat enough time to dry before you start on the next coat. And one more tip: avoid painting in direct sun!
After the second coat is dry, you’ll want to take a closer look for any spots that need touch-ups, or you might even decide that you need another full coat.
If you make sure you do all the prep work properly, painting your vinyl siding can be a great way to give your home a whole new look while saving yourself a bit of money. However, it’s important to note that painting your home’s exterior is definitely not a small job.
