Step-by-Step Guide to Exterior House Painting
Preparation

- Fascia and Siding: Clean these areas with a pressure washer. Scrape off any peeling paint and sand down rough spots.
- Gutters: Clean the gutters inside and out. Sand any rust spots and ensure they are secure.
- Windows: Clean the frames and sills. Remove old caulk and reapply where necessary.
Priming
Applying a primer ensures better adhesion of the paint and a longer-lasting finish.
- Fascia and Siding: Use Sherwin Williams Multi-Purpose Latex Primer.
- Gutters: Use a metal primer if your gutters are metal.
- Windows: Apply primer to the frames and sills.

Painting
Once the primer is dry, you can start painting. Use high-quality brushes and rollers to ensure an even coat.
- Fascia and Siding: Apply two coats of Sherwin Williams Pro Industrial Multi-Surface in Iron Ore. Start from the top and work your way down to avoid drips.
- Gutters: Paint with Sherwin Williams Pro Industrial Multi-Surface in Iron Ore, using a brush to get into the crevices.
- Windows: Carefully paint the window trim with Iron Ore, using a small brush for precision.

Brick Staining
For a modern and timeless look, transform your beige/brown brick to a stunning white with Romabio Masonry Flat in Oxford White.
- Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the brick surface to remove dirt and debris.
- Mixing: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix the Romabio Masonry Flat paint.
- Application: Use a brush or roller to apply the paint evenly. Depending on the desired coverage, one to two coats will typically suffice.
Final Touches for Your Exterior House Painting
Once all the paint is dry, step back and admire your work. Touch up any areas that need it and remove any painter’s tape. Clean your brushes and rollers thoroughly for future use.
Maintenance Tips
