Insufficient or incorrect surface preparation is the most common reason for exterior paint to fail. A properly prepared surface gets the best results from your paint project. With some common household items and elbow grease ahead of time, you can save yourself money and frustration in the long run.

Before starting an exterior paint job, eliminate any existing paint problems. Paint that's peeling, chalking, cracking, or blistering often signals larger problems and needs to be corrected.
