CertaPro Interior Painters: 4 Reasons for Winter Painting

The sun has been replaced with snow and the short, gray days are here. That’s right, summer’s over. With the colder temperatures and chilly precipitation of winter, chances are your house painting project are on hold until spring. Don’t think you are relegated to a bleak winter inside. CertaPro Interior painters give you the 4 reasons for winter interior painting.

Morning Light

Take advantage of that snow outside by utilizing early morning light. The reflection of the sun on the snow creates the perfectly lit room to paint in. Working alone means the project will take a bit longer, this added light in the morning means you’ll have time to finish before dusk. The brightness in the room helps you find missed spots and imperfections before you’ve cleaned the paint brushes.

Dry Times

Dry air and less rain means the conditions in your house are ripe for optimum dry times. Humidity in the summer holds wetness in the air, making dry times much longer. The cooler air allows you to open a window and allow a crisp breeze to air dry your walls. You’ll also be more comfortable since the air will blow odors from the paint away. As a tip, turn the heat off an hour before you start painting and turn it back on after you’ve sealed smelly paint gallons. This will reduce the smells blowing through your home.

Availability

Most homeowners are not in the mindset that painting should happen in the winter. Therefore, you’ll experience greater availability from professional crews. Appointments and production times are easier to come by. You’ll move swiftly from one to the next without the long wait times experienced during the summer.

Lower Costs

Going hand in hand with increased availability, you could get reduced costs from pro crews. Many companies offer specials to keep their crews busy during the non-traditional painting months. This means you could get a great professional crew to paint your home more quickly, for less.

Holidays

While it’s a lesser consideration, it could be a great time to create a beautiful backdrop for your holiday decor. If you have family heading to your house for dinners or extended stays, now might be the perfect time to refresh your walls. Once decorations go up, it’s not likely to happen. So before Aunt Mildred shows up with thoughts about your home, spruce it up so you can feel confident.
