How To: Paint an Exterior Door
Change is good. Whether you're looking to sell your home or just want to add a little pizazz, why not paint your front door? While spring has officially sprung in Calgary, the weather isn't quite ideal for exterior painting so wait until temperatures are 10 degrees above Celsius throughout the night. Not sure what colour to go with? Go to any local paint store and there's literally thousands of colours to choose from. Be your own designer or employ the services of a colour expert to find a colour that works with your homes overall palette. Bust out some sandpaper, a brush and your favourite painting duds and you're good to go.
