Abstract
A device for adjustably providing protection to adjacent surfaces while painting is described. This device comprises a height adjustable handle connected to a masking element by an articulating hinged element. The masking element comprises a flat, rectangular guide with a series of movable fins held to one of the longer edges thereof, by a pair of opposable gripping elements. These fins can be moved and adjusted to fit in and around a clap board sided building, for example. Thus, when the device is placed on the clap board siding, the fins fit perfectly to this siding and any adjacent edge will be protected by the masking element during the painting cycle.
