Siding
Paint your shutters and front door. When your home has a lighter exterior, bright reds or blues can offer great curb appeal. For those homes that have darker exteriors, consider cooler, deep colors such as jade or eggplant.
Before you begin painting the exterior of your home, it is critical to repair and prepare the surfaces you plan on repainting. Your paint job will not be durable if you do not prepare the surfaces properly. If your house has siding, any section that is damaged must be repaired. If the surface you are repainting is wood, remove any peeling, flaking, or blistering paint, before applying a new coat. This difficult job of removing paint can be done by scraping or sanding. Be sure to wear safety equipment, such as a dust mask and protective goggles, when removing the old paint.
To remove green algae from your vinyl siding, mix a few cups of vinegar and a big squirt of dish or laundry detergent into a bucket of hot water. Apply the mixture and scrub with a sponge mop from top to bottom and rinse well with water from a garden hose, sprayer or power washer.
