Expert Tips for Painting Your Exterior Siding

June 26, 20242 min read

Whether you're a seasoned painter or just starting out, here are some insider tips to make sure your paint job looks fantastic and lasts.

1. Get Your Surface Ready

First things first: clean that siding! Use a hose with a brush attachment and mild detergent to scrub away dirt, mold, and grime. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

2. Fix Any Flaws

Take a close look at your siding for cracks, holes, or areas that need a little TLC. Fill in any gaps with exterior caulk or putty, and replace any damaged boards. Sand down rough spots to create a smooth canvas for your paint.

3. Pick the Right Paint and Primer

Choosing the best paint and primer combo is crucial. Make sure your paint is made for exteriors and matches your siding material (like wood or vinyl). Apply a coat of primer before you start painting to help the color stick and last longer.

4. Test Your Colors

This is important! Don't skip this step! Test your paint on small section of your siding. See how they look in different lighting throughout the day. It'll help you avoid any surprises once the whole house is painted. Trust us on this one.

6. Paint Like a Pro

Start at the top of your house and work your way down. This keeps drips and streaks to a minimum. Apply paint in thin, even coats, and follow the natural lines of your siding for a seamless finish.

7. Let It Dry

Follow the drying times on the paint can and avoid touching or messing with freshly painted areas. Keep an eye on the weather too—rain and dew can mess up your hard work....especially in South Louisiana.

8. Clean Up and Keep Up

Clean your brushes and rollers right after painting with soap and water. Store any leftover paint for touch-ups later. Keep an eye on your siding for wear and tear, and fix any problems ASAP to keep it looking sharp.

Whether your siding is wood, vinyl, or something else, prepping right, using good paint, and taking your time will pay off big time.
