Applying paint is the easy part; it's all the prep that comes first in your painting project that will determine if the job looks "good." But what’s the first step if it's not whipping out a paintbrush on day one?

Just as it’s important to maintain your lawn, it’s important to maintain your home. Paint goes a long way when fixing up your house; it makes it look clean, polished, and well-cared for. Not only does paint make your house look better, but it can protect your exterior walls from weathering and insects.

An important thing to consider when painting your house is what color you should use for your front door. It is often the finishing touch that can add some flair or uniqueness to your house! It is wholly a personal choice of your own but there are a few tips to keep in mind before you order that royal purple.

Picking a color is a challenge in itself but after all that how do you know which sheen you want to use? It’s not like you’ve ever really noticed it much on anyone else’s house; is it really important? Getting the right finish will not make or break the house but it is an important factor nonetheless.
