Flaking, fading paint is not a good look for the outside of any home. It's ugly, unattractive and it’s not a surface you can simply paint over. Whether you are looking to freshen up the exterior or transform the outside with a hot new contemporary color, preparation is the key.
You need to remove as much of the exterior paint as possible when painting a house to get the best finish, but you have to make sure that it's done right. Get it wrong and it won’t be long before your fresh new paint starts peeling and you’ll need to get ready for repaint, much sooner than you wanted.
