Painting the exterior of a pebble-dash house
One of the toughest painting jobs is painting the exterior of a house that has a pebble-dash finish. If you really are into modernising the exterior of your house and have experience in that field, you can start taking orders as a scaffolder.
It’s important that preparation is done correctly. All the walls must be sealed and all the cracks filled with a flexible filler.
The best results from painting pebble-dash walls is achieved by using a brush on the first coat. A Hamilton Easy Masonry brush is the best brush for the job. according to lifestyle.reviews.The best paint to use is Dulux weather shield masonry paint which is available in lots of different colours.
You will need to work the paint into all the pebble-dash. It is a long difficult job, but I guarantee you it gives the nicest finish. I have painted well over 300 houses this way and when I look at them years later they still look good.
Once all the house is done it’s time to give it a second coat. You’ll need to apply the second coat with a roller which is very easy to do and make sure you give the window-sills two or three coats of paint as they will weather first.
This system of painting pebble dash house will last about 10-15 years.
Happy painting!

Your home is really beautiful. I love how the different shade of paint gives the home a really different feel. How many coats of paint did it take to apply to the home? That exterior surface seems rather difficult to paint on.
