Painting A Dormer Window From The Outside In?

To paint a dormer window from the exterior, use two roofing ladders with a horizontal ladder across. There are several methods for painting dormers on steep roofs safely, including extension ladders, chicken ladders, roof jacks, and lifts. Painting outside windows is essential for keeping them functional and attractive, and can significantly enhance curb appeal. The best paint for dormers is acrylic latex paint due to its holding power and durability.

To paint the dormer windows, remove the interior bead, release the spring, and scrape loose paint on the first dormer. Douglas will pass the paint to you, and you can apply a thick coat. Then, the guys will move the temp toe boards on a sheet of OSB and 2x4s, hang them off the peak with 2x4s and 2x6s, and add two additional ropes. Open the windows, tie a loop of rope around the frame, and climb out the window.

If you need to get on the roof to paint these dormer windows safely, you can use roof brackets with a plank that extends 4 feet past each end of the dormer. Lay a step ladder flat against the roof with the feet resting on the plank. This method will ensure that the paint adheres better and improves coverage.
