Painting tips and information
Painting your building is one of the best ways to to protect your investment and maintain its apprarance. Paint is inexpensive compared to replacing siding or trim materials. Be sure to use a good latex caulk around all cracks and joints between the trim and siding. Pay easpecially close attention to the trim above the doors and windows.

Choose a good quality latex paint. Paint is available in exterior flat, satin, simi-gloss or gloss finish. We recommend a satin, simi-gloss, or gloss finish for best paint life and ease of cleaning. Flat finishes will provide good protection, but will require that you repaint more frequently since they are rough and not easily cleaned.
