Another option for exterior paint build up is to have all the old paint stripped down to bare wood, primed and painted so all surfaces look nearly new and relatively smooth. This is a very time consuming, labor intensive and expensive process so your budget will drive the decision process.

As we mentioned earlier, the best time to paint is during the early summer months and early fall, depending on your locality. Stick to these timelines if you want to end up with a smooth finish.
For example, a standard two-story house with 1,500 sq.ft. area and wood siding will have professional painters’ rates from $2,250 to $6,000 for the exterior. An interior job for a 1,000 sq.ft. room costs between $1,500 and $4,000 to paint the entire room, ceiling included.
You can use painters tape wrapped backward around your hand to do this. Press your taped hand onto the roller, and it will work in a similar manner as a lint roller.
Currently, our Paint-For-A-Day™ rate is $595 which includes seven hours of labor, and all the tools and prep materials to paint anything you want. Sometimes there is an additional charge for paint materials.
A sturdy step ladder will help you easily reach the top corners of you walls when brushing. Both of these items will keep you from overextending your body causing injury.
To work safely and efficiently, you need the right equipment, which will depend upon the nature of the work you’ll be doing. Preparation, for example, can call for a selection of tools that includes sanding and scraping tools or, if your siding is in good shape, just a hose with a nozzle.
If you have gables, multiply the width of the gable by its height, and divide by two. Do this for each gable and add the total to the body measurement. TIP: Don't forget, each gallon covers between 250-400 square feet. Don't forget to factor in the paint for a second coat if necessary.
It is also important to know the season your newly-acquired home was painted since the weather condition when your house was painted can change how well the paint dried.

Where this gray paint shines is when you have decorative exposed brick or stone with cooler undertones on your home. Oftentimes, it’s rare to find a gray paint color that coordinates with these elements. Pewter Gray is the perfect deep cooler-toned exterior shade for the job. Combine this gray tone with wood accents and a dark blue or brown front door for a gorgeous modern exterior color palette.

Rolling, on the other hand, is better for more detailed work. It involves using rollers to manually apply the paint, so it’s more difficult and will take longer. Labor rates for rolling are usually higher than for spraying.
