DIY vs. Call a Pro
Exterior painting is feasible for single-story homes. Power wash first, scrape loose paint, prime bare wood, caulk all gaps, and apply two coats of quality exterior paint. Use a paint sprayer for large areas and brush for detail work.
Call a professional when:
Hire a professional for multi-story homes, extensive scraping and prep, lead paint situations, or when you need scaffolding. Professional painters also have insurance for working at height.
