New construction painting has many twists and turns! #housecolors #colordesign #sherwinwilliams

What happens here

After painting the lower sections, safely descend the A-frame ladder and reposition an extension ladder against the house exterior to reach higher areas, such as the gable trim and siding. Before climbing, use a paint stir stick to thoroughly mix the paint in the bucket to ensure consistent color and texture throughout. Reload the small paint roller or prepare a paintbrush, then carefully carry the paint bucket and chosen applicator as you ascend the extension ladder.

Goal: Access higher sections of the house for painting
