Preparing the Shutters

If the shutters have old paint on them, it'll likely need to be removed. Contractors often use a hard bristle brush to manually remove the varnish and leave a smooth, even surface. Depending on whether the shutters are made of wood, plastic or vinyl, they may need special cleaning and painting techniques. If mildew or mold is present, bleach should be used to remove it and prevent it from returning.

Cost Factors

There is a lot to consider when painting shutters, so it's critical to plan ahead with your budget. The most significant cost factor is the number of shutters that need painting. Their location is also important as it takes more time to remove and reattach shutters on multistory homes. Damaged shutters should either be repaired or replaced, and that will add to the project cost.

Consulting a Professional

While painting shutters is a task that many homeowners can tackle on their own, working with a professional painter is recommended. An expert can remove and reattach the shutters without damaging them or the house. They have the tools and techniques to prepare the shutters, and can apply the paint evenly for a consistent look.

Comments I'm putting my condo on the market and have a list of things to take care of. (1) Garage is the largest item, there are some boards on it that I'd like to replace as well as paint. Also (2) a small balcony with wood railings, (3) 2 large window trim to paint (all will require prep, some parts in decent shape but other parts not). If you are interested in interior work (4) bathroom wall and ceiling, and (5) installing new sheet vinyl in a small kitchen. (Totally ok if you are only interested in the outdoor painting)
