How Many Coats of Paint for House Exterior? Painters

If you are planning to re-paint your home and are wondering how many coats of paint for house exterior are needed,  one coat of paint will usually do the job. It is important, however, to make sure that the paint is less than 10 years old and is not severely weathered. A proper surface preparation is important, or no amount of coats will give lasting protection to your home.

If you can afford a second coat of paint, the paint job will endure a bit better and retain a better sheen and color. An extra coat will not double the life of the paint job, but it may add a year or two to the longevity. Weigh the benefits against the extra cost to determine the best value.

If you’re not so experienced with painting or you’re looking for a second opinion about the job, consider hiring a professional.

      I think we’ve decided that we’re hiirng someone to paint our entry (I have a cousin who is married to a painter so hopefully something works out with that!) There’s no way we can do it with a ladder- even a big one- the way the stairs are laid out. I think we need scaffolding or something crazy. So I’m definitely going to investigate having just the top part painted if not the whole darn thing!.-= Jen’s last blog post: =-.
