Finding the time to paint your house can be difficult, but if you have finally got a date in mind, you must be sure you have the right tools and machinery to get the job done. You want the paint to look great and you want the work to be hassle-free.
Getting to the highest areas of your house and painting the house like a professional so it doesn't show drips or marks may be your main concerns. Here are some of the items to get for the project.
Pressure Washer
The house needs to be cleaned properly before the painting project begins. A pressure washer can be used to remove layers of dirt and grime and is easy to use. If you don't have one, it can be rented from a power tools rental facility. You will also want to get a high-quality cleaning agent to use on the house with the water. This will prep the house for paint application.
Hydraulic Lift
Use the hydraulic lift to get to all the areas where you need to paint safely. You can adjust the lift without having to rebuild or adjust like you would have to with scaffolding or a ladder. The lift gives you a wide platform to work and move on, and it has railings for a safe workspace. Renting the hydraulic lift is worth the cost and the delivery fee for the time it's needed.
Paint Sprayer
A paint sprayer can help you prime and paint the house efficiently. If you have all the windows and areas that won't be getting fresh paint by the sprayer taped off, you will be able to paint the house quickly. Get high-quality paint for the sprayer and make sure you have the extension cords that may be needed to reach high areas on the hydraulic lift.
Choosing a paint designed for exterior surfaces and that is weather-resistant is ideal. Make sure that you also choose a paint that will be washable over the years.
If you decide that you have to wash, prime, and then add paint to the home, it will be easy to do the jobs and to get up and down with the hydraulic lift that you have rented. Talk with the rental company about getting all the machinery and tools that will be needed to complete this job efficiently, and then have them delivered to your property.
