Painting has traditionally been one of the best tasks to do yourself, because almost anyone can do a mediocre job without proper training. But when it comes to exterior painting in Marietta, you'll have to overcome these 4 unexpected challenges. Alternatively, you can hire a professional to solve these problems for you. You're Not Tall Enough When you're painting exterior walls, you'll have to reach areas that are simply inaccessible to you because of their height. You always have the option of getting on a ladder or scaffolding, but doing so is riskier than you think. Painting the exterior of your home is even more challenging when you have a 2-story or 3-story home. You Need to Do Repairs Exterior walls get damaged by wind and hail. Most likely, you'll find several areas in need of repairs. This means you will spend hours caulking, scraping, and sanding the exterior walls before you even open that first bucket of paint. Certain types of exterior walls also require additional priming for maximum effect. You Have to Protect Landscaping Most homeowners plant flowers and shrubs around the exterior of their home. Some of these can be very close to or even touching the exterior wall. You probably already know that plants don't appreciate being painted. In order to protect your landscaping, you'll have to lay down tarps and be very careful about where you step. Your Paint Won't Stick Painting the exterior walls once is a huge task. But did you know that you probably need two layers to make your walls look good? Many homeowners think they can make their lives easier by renting or purchasing a paint sprayer, but it's not quite that easy. Whether you roll the paint or spray it, it takes a lot of practice to achieve great results with exterior painting in Marietta
