Frequently Asked Questions about Exterior House Painting



Exterior house painting in Baltimore is one of our most popular services, especially this time of year. So we thought we would take the time to answer some of the questions we hear the most about this type of professional painting service.

Q: How can I prepare my home for my professional exterior house painting project?

A: It is a huge help when our clients help prepare their homes for our visit. And before we come to your house for exterior house painting, there are definitely a few things you can do to prep. One big thing you can do is remove any lawn ornaments or decorations and put them somewhere safe. While we always take great care to make sure we do not inadvertently damage your belongings, accidents sometimes happen. 

Also, make sure that any pets that are outdoors are kept somewhere safe while we are painting. This is for everyone’s safety and well-being. Finally, make sure any young children that live in your home are told not to touch our equipment while we are there. Again, this is for everyone’s safety and well-being.

Q: What are some of the things your crew will do to prepare for my exterior house painting project?

A: We first lay down drop cloths over your plants and other landscaping to make sure we don’t get paint on any of your flowers or shrubs. We will then begin to scrape the old paint off of your home’s siding, if need be. 

After that, we will patch any holes and make sure the walls are in good shape. From there, we apply a coat of primer if it is needed. Finally, we begin applying as many coats of paint needed to ensure that your home gets even coverage and that each wall and all of the trim looks great.

Q: How does Bay Country Painters stand apart from the rest of the exterior house painting companies out there?

A: Our team of exterior house painting professionals is incredibly detail-oriented. After each coat of primer (if it is needed) and paint, we take a step back and look at each wall as a whole. We make sure every single part of it looks great and that the coats of primer and/or paint were all evenly applied. 

We then take it a step further and look at every part of the wall and any trim that we painted carefully to ensure we did not miss any spots and to make sure each wall and piece of trim looks great.
