Why Now is the Best Time for Exterior Painting

Posted on February 16, 2022

With spring heading to our area, we’re all eager to get outdoors. Moderate temperatures make the great outdoors even greater. Grab a game of golf, head to the lake or paint? Yes, that’s right. Spring is the perfect season for exterior painting projects. A new paint job can freshen up your home and banish winter woes.

Prolonged Protection

Since paint is the first line of defense your home has against the elements, there is no better time to inspect and repair it than spring. During winter, ice, wind and rain can take a toll on your home. Lesser quality and older paint may fail under the pressure of the harsh elements. When that occurs, you’re dealing with a slippery slope into expensive repairs. Addressing the failures with repairs and paint now can save you in the long run.

Easier Scheduling

With most homeowners scheduling their exterior paint work in the summer months, scheduling in the spring can be a much better experience. Scheduling your exterior paint project in spring will often eliminate waiting around for availability for both estimates and actual work to begin. With paint crews eager to get back to painting, it’s a good idea to take advantage of spring.

Great Temperatures

This area is fairly good about having steady, mid-range temperatures in the spring. Dew and precipitation are more mild during the spring. Our crews can also avoid extreme temperatures and humidity that will slow down work. Working in the heat causes painters to need more breaks to avoid heat-related illness. Moisture in the air can cause your paint film to dry with bubbles and chipping. Avoid both by scheduling in spring!

Get Ready To Sell Your House

House selling season ramps up immediately after school closes for the year. Realtors often suggest homeowners paint their home’s exterior before listing it on the market. That means if you wait until school closes to start the process, you will lose some selling time. Curb appeal is important and can earn you significantly more at the time of offer. Starting the painting process in spring allows your family to get a jump on the home sales season.
