Exterior Paint Job - Before and After

It was a huge job, but the painters have finished the exterior paint and it looks amazing.

Exterior - Before

As a reminder, we had a lot of prep work done to make the job lead paint safe - see story here.  But that was only the starting point.  Once that was completed, there was still a lot of work to do.

Prepped and ready to paint!

1)  First, they prepped all the old nails with metal primer - creating a dalmation effect, which the kids in the neighborhood thought was really fun!

2)  Next, the guys did two coats of a Peel Bond priming product, to ensure good adhesion with the old siding and fill some of the bumps and ridges.

3)  And finally, the finished coats went on the whole house.  As a reminder, here's where we started, right after the garage was removed.









 And here's a first peek of the new rear of the house with the windows and siding complete!

We still need to get finishing touches (mailbox, house numbers, light fixtures, etc) up, but don't you think it's a nice improvement?
