Are you trying to find ways to spruce up the curb appeal of your home in Vienna? Ideas for exterior house painting need to include consideration of both the architecture and neighborhood. In a historic district, you will want to keep a traditional color scheme. But in an area with new construction, going with the hot paint trends of 2009 for a modern look will fit right in.

When coming up with ideas for exterior house painting, Vienna homeowners should keep in mind the extensive preparation process before actual painting can begin. First you must:

• Use a pressure washer to remove dirt and make sure all surfaces are completely clean
• Look for blistering or peeling that will need to be sanded down
• Check for discolored paint which could indicate rotted wood that needs replacing
• Apply caulking to any cracks where water could leak
• Tape off areas you do not want painted
• Start with a coat of high-quality primer
