What Are the Different Types of Exterior Paint?
Exterior Paint
Exterior paint has a different make-up than interior paints due to the additives that resist stains, mildew growth, and have weather-resistant properties.
Brick, Stucco & Masonry Paint
Brick, stucco, and masonry paint are acrylic-based paints that easily adhere to a variety of surfaces. This makes it compatible with a range of surfaces.
Rust Preventive Exterior Paint
Rust preventive paint is ideal for metal products like storage sheds. It provides a finish that won’t chip or peel and protects metal from being damaged by moisture.
Porch and Patio Paint
Porch and patio paints are highly resistant to moisture, dirt, and surfaces like wood, concrete, and more.
Things to Ask Your Exterior Painter
When hiring a Local Pro painter, it’s important to communicate your expectations, as well as to be clear on what is or isn’t included with their exterior home painting service. Make sure that everyone is on the same page by asking about the following:
1 How should I prepare for my appointment?
- Find out what you need to do before your Local Pro painter arrives
- Ask your Pro whether they’ll cover landscaping and plants with drop sheets, wash off any dirt or mildew, and scrape off any peeling paint, or if you should do that yourself
2 What prep work goes into the painting job?
- Many exterior painters will begin their work by prepping the surface to ensure as clean a paint job as possible
- Ask your painter if the job will include drywall hole repair or drywall patch work, taping around all edges and corners, and applying a layer of primer
3 Will you purchase the paint for me/help me choose the paint?
- Some painters may also act as a colour consultant and help you choose paint for your project, ensuring that you find the right colours and finishes
- Knowing which exterior paint to use for certain surfaces can get complicated, so your exterior painter will likely provide guidance on choosing paint
- You can also ask your exterior painter if they will purchase the paint for you at an extra cost, or if that is included in the cost of the job
