How To Paint A House. The 4 Step Process To Painting Your Home.

What happens here

Before spraying, meticulously mask off all areas not to be painted. Use 9-inch masking paper, often applied with a 3M M3000 masker, along roof lines, garage door tracks, and any brick or rock foundations to prevent overspray. Mask off all windows and doors completely using plastic sheeting for full coverage. Also, protect any light fixtures, electrical outlets, and vents. For vinyl fences adjacent to the house, use masking paper to shield them from paint. The goal is to create crisp, clean lines and avoid any unwanted paint on surrounding surfaces.

Goal: Protect surrounding surfaces from overspray to ensure a clean paint job
