If your house is looking rather beat up and under the weather, do not worry. If the paint is looking dull, peeling and flaking, know that the painting Anchorage specialists provide is great. This may not always be the easiest task, but rewarding all the same.
Your home is your castle. When you arrive there you want to feel relaxed and at peace, not stressed out about the possibility of the melting snow causing your walls to rot. This is something you want to tackle as soon as possible, something you can't afford to leave too long. This is something you've probably already started budgeting for. You may even have your trusted contractor's name on speed dial.
Hopefully you have timed it right, you have that short gap of summer, the little that there is. Painting in the snow is not ideal and is often a huge waste of money and resources. You want the paint to be on and dried long before the rains and snow start to fall. So better get cracking while the sun is shining.
Now the hard work starts. Using a wire brush, and sandpaper, you will need to scrub the walls to give a smooth surface to work on. You really want to make sure that as much of the old paint as possible is gone. After this you can prep the walls and window sills. Make sure that you protect all the items that you do not want paint on. You can either cover them or tape them off.
Carefully select your color scheme and get the ball rolling. Decide if you are painting the entire house or just parts of the house. You may only need to maintain certain walls or window sills for now. You may also find that your budget cannot afford to repaint the whole house, due to finance problems. Whatever you do, make sure you don't neglect the maintenance or you'll really pay for it later!
