Exterior painting plays a crucial role in enhancing the aesthetic appeal and maintaining the overall condition of a home. As an integral part of home maintenance, exterior painting not only revitalizes the appearance of a house but also protects it from various elements like weather, moisture, and pests. By creating a protective barrier, exterior paint helps prevent the deterioration of the underlying materials, extending the structure's lifespan.
Additionally, a fresh coat of paint can significantly increase the value of a property, making it more attractive to potential buyers. With its numerous benefits and significance, exterior painting is an essential investment for homeowners looking to safeguard and beautify their homes. When considering house painting projects, it's important to prioritize quality materials, professional expertise, and availability of products to ensure long-lasting results.
Surface Preparation
The first step in surface preparation is washing the surfaces thoroughly. This eliminates dust, dirt, and grime that could hinder the paint's adherence. Use a power washer or a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle to remove debris effectively. Consider power washing for optimal cleanliness for exterior brick or synthetic stucco surfaces.
After washing, scraping any loose or flaking paint is crucial. This can be done using a paint scraper or a wire brush. The goal is to create a smooth and even surface for the new paint to adhere to. Professional painters often utilize power washing and scraping techniques to ensure a clean canvas for painting.
Next, sand any glossy areas to dull the surface. This will help the new paint to adhere correctly. Use medium-grit sandpaper and sand in a circular motion until the shiny surface is roughened. For wood surfaces or stucco siding, consider using 100-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.
Inspect the exterior of your home for any gaps or cracks. Fill these gaps with caulk to prevent moisture from seeping in and causing damage. Use a caulk gun to apply it and smooth it out for a seamless finish. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of fiber cement or brick surfaces.
Lastly, communicate your expectations and requirements with the painting team. Discuss your color preferences, any specific areas of concern, and any special instructions you may have. Good communication ensures the team understands your needs and can deliver a satisfactory outcome. Be sure to address surface preparation concerns, such as using 60-grit sandpaper for tough-to-reach areas or intricate details.
Selection of Suitable Paints
Selecting suitable paints is paramount when undertaking an exterior painting project. Several factors should be considered, including coverage, durability, and finish. Choosing paints that provide good coverage ensures that the surface is adequately protected and flaws are hidden. Durability is also crucial, as exterior surfaces are exposed to harsh weather conditions. Opting for paints with high resistance to fading, cracking, and peeling can save time and money in the long run.
The type of paint and color chosen also significantly impact the cost and labor required for a painting project. Different types of paint, such as latex or oil-based paint, have varying application processes and drying times. Considering the surface being painted, the climate, and the desired finish will help determine the most suitable paint type.
Moreover, the color choice, including exterior colors, can influence the cost and labor involved. Darker paint colors require more coats to achieve the desired look, increasing the time and cost spent on the project. On the other hand, lighter colors offer better coverage and may require fewer coats.
Select paints specifically designed for specific surfaces, like concrete, is crucial. These paints provide proper adhesion and durability to withstand the unique challenges of concrete surfaces. Additionally, the article mentions the favored technique of German smear, which involves applying a mortar-like coating to achieve a rustic and textured appearance.
Lastly, using beige and tan house paint colors can help create an inviting curb appeal. These neutral shades complement various architectural styles and are known to enhance the overall aesthetics of a property. They can create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that appeals to potential homebuyers or visitors. Be mindful of excess paint to avoid waste and unnecessary costs.
Color and Design Considerations
When deciding on a paint color, it is essential to consider the existing surroundings and neighborhood aesthetics. You want to ensure that your choice complements the overall look of the area while still adding a touch of uniqueness.
It's worth noting that implementing drastic color changes can require additional coats of paint, increasing labor and material costs. So, if you want to switch from a dark shade to a lighter one or vice versa, remember the potential impact on your budget and the type of paint used.
Darker paint colors like blacks and blues tend to absorb more light, which can lead to fading over time. They often require additional coats of paint and tinted primers to combat this. This further elevates labor costs, making it essential to consider the long-term maintenance involved carefully. When tackling your exterior paint project, addressing loose paint and ensuring proper surface preparation is crucial. Quality paint and tools, such as acrylic paint and a 5-in-1 painting tool, can contribute to a successful outcome.
For homeowners seeking professional assistance, hiring exterior painting professionals is advisable. These experts can offer valuable insights into exterior paint colors and techniques, ensuring a quality paint job. Additionally, they can help manage excess paint and streamline the actual painting process, from prep work to application.
Whether painting acrylic siding or traditional surfaces, investing in a quality paint job is critical to achieving lasting results. You can confidently transform your home's exterior by considering factors like the type of paint, exterior colors, and actual painting techniques.
Application Techniques and Tools
The first step is to prepare the surface by cleaning it thoroughly and removing any loose or flaking paint. Once the surface is clean and dry, the next step is to apply primer using a high-quality paint brush, paint roller, or airless paint sprayer. The primer helps the paint adhere better to the surface and provides an enhanced finish. Apply the primer evenly and allow it to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
After the primer has dried, it's time to apply the paint. Using an airless or power sprayer for textured surfaces can be beneficial. The sprayer helps evenly coat the textured surface with paint, allowing for better coverage and a smoother finish. However, following the manufacturer's instructions for the sprayer and ensuring proper ventilation during application is essential.
To achieve maximum durability and a professional-looking finish, it is recommended to back-roll the sprayed paint with a roller. This technique helps push the paint into the textured surface, ensuring better adhesion and a more uniform appearance. When using painting tools like straight ladders, always prioritize safety and wear appropriate eye protection. Additionally, advanced protection measures should be considered when working with power or airless paint sprayers. Hiring exterior painting contractors can also ensure a seamless and efficient painting process for your improvement projects, such as exterior house painting.
Maintenance and Long-Term Performance
Maintenance and long-term performance are crucial factors for any exterior painting project. Proper maintenance and the use of high-quality materials can significantly extend the lifespan of the paint job, which is also essential when taking care of your home.
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and touch-ups, is essential in preserving the paint's integrity. This involves removing dirt, dust, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface over time. Cleaning the painted surfaces regularly prevents the build-up of grime that can lead to discoloration and premature paint aging. It's also important to consider the paint quality and invest in top-quality paint products for optimal results.
Protecting the exterior from harsh weather conditions ensures its long-term durability. Weatherproof coatings and sealants can provide an extra layer of defense against rain, wind, UV rays, and other elements that can cause damage to the paint. When calculating exterior painting costs, factor in the availability of quality products and consider the exterior paint prices alongside the cost of labor.
Introducing the concept of preventative maintenance is also crucial in preserving the appearance and functionality of the painted surfaces over time. This involves identifying potential issues early on and addressing them before they escalate. Regular inspections and proactive measures like resealing and repainting help maintain the paint's quality and prevent more extensive repairs down the line.
Consider hiring experienced exterior painting services or a house painter to ensure the exterior painting process is carried out efficiently and effectively. Professional exterior painters can provide valuable exterior painting tips, such as choosing the right paint finish, like flat finishes, to achieve the desired look while considering the exterior house painting cost.

THE JOHNSON COLLECTION - A Private Collection for Public Good
thejohnsoncollection.org/the-collection/
Sharing the art it stewards with communities across the country is The Johnson Collection’s essential purpose and propels our daily work. Much more than a physical place, TJC seeks to be a presence in American art, prioritizing access over location. Since 2013, the collection’s touring exhibitions have been loaned twenty-five times, placed without fee in partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.2 million visitors. In its showcase of over 1,000 objects, TJC’s website functions as a digital museum, available anywhere and anytime.
What began as an interest in paintings by Carolina artists in 2002 has grown to encompass over 1,400 objects with provenances that span the centuries and chronicle the cultural evolution of the American South.
Today, The Johnson Collection counts iconic masterworks among its holdings, as well as representative pieces by an astonishing depth and breadth of artists, native and visiting, whose lives and legacies form the foundation of Southern art history. From William D. Washington’s The Burial of Latané to Malvin Gray Johnson’s Roll Jordan Roll, the collection embraces the region’s rich history and confronts its complexities, past and present.
.The contributions of women artists, ranging from Helen Turner—only the fourth woman elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design in 1921—to Alma Thomas—the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at a major national museum in 1972—are accorded overdue attention, most notably in TJC's most recent publication and companion exhibition, Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection. Landmark works by American artists of African descent such as Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Leo Twiggs, and Hale Woodruff pay homage to their makers' barrier-defying accomplishments. Modern paintings, prints, collages, and sculpture created by internationally renowned artists associated with the experimental arts enclave of Black Mountain College, including Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Ilya Bolotowsky, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, and Robert Rauschenberg highlight the North Carolina school's geographic proximity to the collection's home.
Hailed by The Magazine Antiques as having staged a "quiet art historical revolution" and expanding "the meaning of regional," The Johnson Collection heralds the pivotal role that art of the South plays in the national narrative. To that end, the collection's ambitious publication and exhibition strategies extend far beyond a single city's limit or a territorial divide.
Since 2012, TJC has produced four significant scholarly books—thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated investigations of Southern art time periods, artists, and themes: Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South (2012); From New York to Nebo: The Artistic Journey of Eugene Thomason (2014); Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection (2015); and Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection (2018). These volumes are accompanied by traveling exhibitions that have been loaned without fee to partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors.
Smaller curated presentations rotate at the collection's hometown exhibition space, TJC Gallery. Individual objects are regularly made available for critical exhibitions such as La Biennale di Venezia, Afro-Atlantic Histories, Outliers and American Vanguard Art, Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College, 1933-1957, Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful, Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition, and Bold, Cautious, True: Walt Whitman and American Art of the Civil War Era and featured in important publications and catalogues, including The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Art & Architecture, and The Civil War and American Art.
In 2016, the state of South Carolina honored The Johnson Collection with the Governor’s Award for the Arts, its highest arts distinction. The commendation paid tribute to the Johnson family's enduring contributions: "Equally dedicated to arts advancement and arts accessibility, the Johnsons generously share their vision, energy, passion and resources to benefit the arts in South Carolina."
"Who can say what ignites a passion? Was it those three red roses frozen in blue? An awakened connection to one's geographical roots? Perhaps the familiarity of the road to Nebo? The nucleus of what was to become our collection was formed by such seemingly unrelated catalysts. Looking back, it was always the sense of place that drew George and me to beautiful pictures—pictures that capture not only the glorious landscape of the South, but that also enliven its unique culture and dynamic history." ~Susu Johnson, Chief Executive .

"If you’re looking for a vibe, this is where you’ll find it. Spartanburg is one of South Carolina’s most established, respected, progressive, and diverse art communities with everything from the fine arts—ballet, symphonies, and opera—to the cutting edge—street performers, graffiti, and dance mobs.
Experience the Cultural District
Downtown Spartanburg has even been designated as a cultural district by the South Carolina Arts Commission. Within the cultural district, you can walk to and enjoy world-class art galleries, studios, music venues, breweries, culinary arts, local literature publishers, coffee shops, libraries, museums, and more. Regardless of when you visit, you’re likely to encounter live music in the streets, featuring jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, or beach music.
Come experience how we put the art in SpARTanburg."

Hartford, CT. Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano (R-North Haven) talked with the press today regarding a Department of Transportation internal memo that contains an alarming assessment of Gov. Ned Lamont’s plans concerning transportation funding. The memo, which was obtained by the Senate Republican Office after repeated requests, addresses the impact of Gov. Lamont eliminating $250 million in transportation investments. This funding was authorized by the biennium bipartisan budget which included a portion of the Republican “Prioritize Progress” policy to authorize this investment. The memo concludes that eliminating this funding will severely constrict needed infrastructure investments across the state and allow roads and bridges to deteriorate. March 28, 2019.

Every Mind Matters: The Many Dimensions of Mental Illness
The Hill brings together lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates to discuss these questions and more and explore why prioritizing mental health is intrinsically linked to good health overall.
The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis as two in five American adults reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression in 2021. Fortunately, the country has witnessed a positive sea change in recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care in recent years, but significant work still remains to create a system that recognizes the nuances and needs of those with mental illness.
Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just some of the many conditions affecting the 1 in 20 Americans experiencing serious mental illness today. The generalization of these disorders extends beyond everyday vernacular as one-size-fits-all policies, drugs and treatments continue to fail patients. Even when services are available, barriers like cost, cultural bias, and inconvenience often prevent people from accessing the care they need.
How can we break down the stigma associated with mental illness? How can we build a comprehensive care system to support all individuals affected by it?

If you need more evidence on why leaders should prioritize climate, look no further than this year’s hurricane season— currently tied for the most active hurricane season in the Atlantic with 28 named storms. We experienced a similar season in 2005, with 27 named storms and one unnamed storm.
This year, storms have also formed much earlier in the season than previous years. Zeta developed on October 24th, beating out 2005’s Zeta which formed on December 30, 2005. It’s been a similar story for the 23 other named storms this season.
2020 also saw 3 storms in a single day, which tied a record. 2020 also broke the record for most named storms in the month of September. And 2020 also saw 11 US landfalls— breaking the previous record of 9 set back in 1916.
Record-breaking weather has been a trend over the last few years, and scientists believe that human-caused climate change is a contributing factor. The science of climate change is no longer a debate. Climate change is HERE, and we need our leaders to believe the experts. Vote for science on November 3.| Illustration by @jentannerdesign

McKinsey Global Infrastructure Initiative Summit
Tokyo, Japan
Wednesday, October 19th, 2022
15:10–15:30
PRIORITIZING THE PATHWAY TO SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE
The combined impacts of COVID-19 and net-zero commitments have resulted in an unprecedented disruption of the $11.6 trillion global infrastructure industry. Meeting net-zero targets will require the industry to transform project development and delivery to deliver a global portfolio of projects at an unprecedented scale and pace. What are the pivotal actions we need to take now to enable sustainable infrastructure for the decades to come?
Facilitators:
Tip Huizenga, Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company; Co-chair, GII
Detlev Mohr, Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company; Co-chair, GII
In this interactive session, Detlev and Tip will briefly frame the topic with a few slides to set the context. This will be followed by them asking the question to the audience, “What are the pivotal actions we need to take now to enable sustainable infrastructure for the decades to come?” The audience will be requested to discuss the question for ~7 minutes in their pods, submitting their ideas through the GII app to form a Word Cloud on the screen.
