Painting may be the easiest part of the construction project, but many people seem to be on the look of all stages of adequate preparation. Missing some of these steps could be your end badly, but it is missing these steps could ultimately give you lung cancer and your children, brain tumors, and many other terrible diseases. I think I’m full of BS? Can see “Rights renovation” there is a whole book and film on the paint dust are health problems for children and adults. Here are some simple steps may seem obvious, the quality and safety to maintain.


# 1 – Determine the year the house was built. If you know or have any doubt that the house was built before 1978, you must buy a kit for lead paint inspections and areas where you work. If the tests lead to positive again, then you should contact a certified chief innovator of color or a professional certified in lead paint mitigation based on employment size and concentration of lead in paint. If you are caught breaking or sanding lead paint without proper certification, protection and preparations as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency, you will be penalized $ 37,500.00 and imprisonment of up to 5 years!

# 2 – Wear PPE. What is PPE? PPE Personal protective equipment protects it the skin, eyes, lungs and everything a disadvantage, because your job might be. PPE generally includes a combination of protective or “function of the painting,” a tight-fitting goggles or a respirator or breathing mask and gloves (when spraying paint, which also allows the head / face SOC).

# 3 – Make sure you scrape and sand any loose paint chips and in very clean before paint or primer. (Do not forget to put a plastic tarp to scrap any deposits on the wall catch).

# 4 – After sanding and scraping, you want to make sure to secure all valves and parts, and siding decay. After the inspection, you can start to patch the holes and sealing cracks. Make sure all the products of a nominal outside.

# 5 – Okay, we are ready for priming. I like an oil primer on all exterior paint job (believe me, it’s just better). After the first layer of primer dry cheers for a minimum stay of four. You can judge if another is needed (when painting a dark color, and white on the light is red, you can use a few coats of primer. But if the black color white on the red light on, the hair is usually through ).

# 6 – Painting ER ‘Up! Boom! Just like that, preparation pays off. If you do not correct the preparation and final coats are one breeze.This is the part that everyone can do. but not too flashy, not after the manufacturing date specifications of the corresponding temperatures and applications can still ruin a job well prepared. Do not forget to take your time and take pride in your work, the final product will show it!
