Keeping your home looking up to date is important for you and your neighbors. Painting your Bridgeport home may seem like a simple task.

You might think that it is an easy job. Well, it is for professionals. We have all of the proper equipment and most of all, knowhow.

Painting your Bridgeport home is not just slapping some paint on with a brush. There is a lot of prep work involved.

Prepping You House

The prep work is just as important as the application of the paint itself. The prep takes as much time (if not more) to paint the house.

The prep starts with a good wash down of the house. It is best to have a pressure washer to get the job done right.

Then covering and taping. This is not just limited to the windows and doors, Trees might need to be trimmed and if there are any bushes close to the house would need to be covered up. In doing this, the cleanup is a lot easier.

Applying the Paint

Paint can be applied many different ways. Most professional painting crews prefer to spry it on. This is a faster method than your standard roller. The only setback is that the prep work is usually doubled.

When you are using a roller, the prep work is minimal. The work is more entailed. First come the application of the paint to the main surfaces. Then the next step is to do the cutting in. Finally the trim is painted. Usually the trim paint is a different, but matching color.

Clean Up

If you started off right, the cleanup should be easy. Removing the tape and any other coverings is fairly easy. The only thing you need to do is to assure that is, watch for the tape residue.

There are several Ways to remove tape residue. The simplest is just a terry cloth towel with a little water. WD-40 works the best and is the fastest. The problem is you would need to clean up the residue left behind from the WD-40.
