Why You Should Paint the Exterior of your Home this Spring
Posted on April 27, 2021
Spring is a great time to inspect the exterior of your home for any winter weather damage or issues. Atlanta’s winter nights can get below freezing and cause problems in areas where draining issues exist. Spring offers several reasons to be one of the best times of year for exterior painting projects.
Ideal Temperatures
Modern paint products can be applied in most seasons in Atlanta, but our spring season offers temperatures that are within the ideal ranges for both paint products, and the painters doing the work. Getting the work done before the full summer heat arrives offers better working conditions, and the perfect temperatures for paint to be applied.
Spring brings the best weather for painting. – The moderate temps create the ideal situation for your paint to adhere. Just make sure you wait until there will be a stretch of dry weather. You don’t want to do it during a rainy period, which can be common in the spring months.
Repair Winter Weather Damage
Spring time is often when we first find issues from the winter season’s below freezing nights. Painting projects are the perfect time to replace broken or rotting wood, and touch up areas that may have been damaged to the prior season. We recommend homeowners walk around their home looking closely for any areas in need of repair at least twice a year, with spring time being one of those times.
Our team can include repairs as part of the painting project. We have carpenters available to help with wood repairs and to fix areas with moisture damage.
Better Availability
Many home owners wait until summer to schedule their painting projects, which opens an opportunity for homeowners who book in the spring. Our schedules are often more open and available allowing for faster timelines than mid-summer.
Enjoy the summer
Getting home maintenance projects done in the spring opens up the summer for more time to enjoy the the results or the project.
