It is that time again, where the paint is peeling and flaking from the walls of your home. You know that you need to get it sorted out soon or the harsh conditions of Anchorage will soon take hold of your house. You know it is not always an easy task, but when you need some painting Anchorage experts are the people to turn to. The time of year can make it easier or a lot harder.
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.
So let's start, first decision is are you painting the house or are you going to get a contractor to do it? Either way you go, know it will take at least two weeks to complete. This is for a myriad of reasons. The main contributing factor is the weather of course. Depending when you start painting, you'll either have rain, snow or very little sunlight. Making it hard to get motivated, but also affecting the paint and how it dries.
You may be able to use a cheaper paint inside of the house, but the exterior needs a good high quality paint. The inside of your house doesn't compete against the harshness of nature! There is no snow or rain inside your house, or at least there shouldn't be. You also have the active volcano to think of, the ash is very damaging.
Make sure to prime all the bare wood or this could spoil. If you are painting the entire house, then you'll need to prime the entire house. Priming will help the paint bond well to the wood and also prevent you from using excessive amounts of paint. The primer will dry relatively quickly. Make sure that you have sealed the walls properly and evenly.
Once you have your color you can begin, whether it be you getting into it or giving your contractor the go ahead. From here it may seem like a very lengthy process, but these steps have to be followed so your paint job will last as long as it should. There are a few steps to follow, your contractor should discuss them with you prior to beginning.
If you are painting the entire house, you may look up to 2 weeks to complete it, sometimes longer, especially if you are doing it yourself. There is a process to follow from washing walls and allowing them to dry, to scrubbing, scraping and sanding. This is all part of the prep work. The application of paint may take a while depending how you do it. By spray coating you will go a lot faster, be careful not to get running lines though.
After approximately two weeks, maybe less, you will be living in a "new" home. Neighbors will be in awe of your new coat of paint and possibly repaint their houses too. Now all you need is general, routine maintenance and touch ups and you'll be good for at least five years. Be sure to keep the contractor's invoice just encase there are any problems later on.
