Well if you are preparing an old wood porch i would assume for paint there is a few things you need to do, first make sure that it is structurally sound by making sure that there is no termite damage or rotting that has occurred. do so by re enforcing it with new wood, then after this step is done you would need to sand down the old wood to make everything smooth( for maximum results). then you would go along priming pr.eping and painting. good luck. i hope this helps

A New House Porch?

>The Porch ProjectDo you have a front porch that is more of an eyesore than a pleasure? You can make your porch a place for entertaining friends and family or for relaxing in the evening.The first thing to do is remove any weeds or dead shrubs from in front of the porch. You also want to take up any old stones or pieces of sidewalk that are in front of the porch. You can make a new walkway after the porch is completed. Smaller flowers and bushes can be added later as well.When you start removing the porch, you need to start with any doors and old windows. Anything that sticks out away from the house should be removed first. When you are at the point where the front of the house has only the floor of the porch remaining, you can start painting and building walls or posts. If you plan to spend a lot of time outside, then you might not want to add walls to the porch. Posts will allow you to get a better view of the area outside.As you start with the floor, make sure you clean the floor and sand it if it is made of wood. Add a water sealer to any wood floors before you paint. Paint the floor with a paint that is specifically for outdoor use. You can add a rug leading to the front door for people to wipe their feet on. After the floor has been painted, you will add the posts or walls. You can purchase posts at any hardware store. You can get wooden posts and paint them the same color as your home, or you can get white posts that will match any color on your home.When you are finished with the porch, you can add any type of outdoor furniture including chairs and tables. Try to get furniture that is the same design and color so that the porch looks pleasant and entertaining.
