Protect Trim, Gutters, and Fixtures

What happens here

This step involves applying masking tape and small pieces of plastic or paper to protect other elements on the exterior of the house. This includes trim along the roofline (fascia), gutters, electrical outlets, external light fixtures, and house numbers. The goal is to isolate any surface that should not receive paint. This careful attention to detail in masking prevents costly cleanup and ensures a professional, crisp paint job.

Goal: Ensure all remaining trim, gutters, electrical outlets, and light fixtures not being painted are thoroughly masked or covered to prevent accidental paint contact.
