When to Get Your Beach House Painted

Posted on February 12, 2025

Owning a beach or bay house down the shore is a wonderful investment, providing a getaway for relaxation and making lasting memories. To keep your retreat looking its best, regular maintenance—including a fresh coat of paint—is essential. But when is the best time to schedule a painting project? At CertaPro Painters of Brick, we recommend considering the season, weather conditions, and how often you use your vacation home.

Signs It’s Time to Repaint Your Vacation Home

Not sure if your vacation home needs new paint? Look for these signs:

  • Fading or discoloration – Sun exposure can cause paint to lose its vibrancy over time.
  • Peeling or cracking – Deteriorating paint leaves your home vulnerable to damage from the elements.
  • Mold, mildew, or water stains – These issues indicate moisture damage that needs to be addressed.
  • Chalking or powdery residue – If you notice a powdery film on the surface, the paint is breaking down.
  • Outdated color – Refreshing the color can enhance curb appeal and modernize your home.

Best Time of Year to Paint Your Vacation Home

Choosing the right time to paint ensures durability and minimizes inconvenience.

Spring (March – May)

Spring is a great time for painting, thanks to moderate temperatures and lower humidity. Getting your home painted in spring ensures it’s ready for summer visitors.

Summer (June – August)

Summer offers warm weather and longer daylight hours, making it a popular time for painting. However, if your vacation home is frequently used during this season, you may prefer to schedule painting for late summer when crowds thin out.

Fall (September – November)

Early fall is one of the best times to paint a vacation home. The cooler temperatures and lower humidity provide excellent conditions for paint adhesion, ensuring a long-lasting finish before winter arrives.

Winter (December – February)

Winter painting is possible for interior projects or in regions with milder climates. If your vacation home is vacant during the winter months, it can be the perfect time for an interior refresh.
