Painting Tips: Painting Order


 
Painting Order

All exterior surfaces should be painted in the following order (this includes priming of the surface if needed):


1 - Trim


2 - Siding


3 – Porches and Decks


In general:start with the highest point, painting one side of the house at a time.  This helps the project go much more quickly and smoothly, and makes cleaning up accidental drips easier as well.
