Once all preparatory steps are completed and surfaces are primed and caulked, apply the first coat of the chosen exterior paint, Sherwin Williams Duration paint, to the main siding of the house. This step typically involves using a paint sprayer for efficiency on large, flat areas, ensuring even and consistent coverage. Before starting, carefully mask off windows, doors, and other areas not to be painted to prevent overspray.

Goal: Apply the initial layer of paint to the house siding

Tools and materials

  • Masking Tape — Protecting areas not to be painted, such as windows
  • Paint Sprayer — Applying paint efficiently and evenly to large exterior surfaces
