5 Reasons to Hire An Interior Painter During Winter
Posted on November 15, 2019
Nearly as soon as the ground thaws, homeowners flock to painters for updates to their interiors and exteriors. Avoid the lines by considering a winter painting job. You could get your interior updated in less time while the weather outside blows and freezes. Here are 5 reasons to hire an interior painter during the winter.
1. Better Deals
Most painters worth their salt know that winter is a slow time for their crews. In an effort to mitigate that, they will offer specials during the off seasons. Interior paint jobs are very minimally affected by outside temperatures and precipitation. Some painters prefer to paint inside during the winter, since the chilly air and low humidity help the paint dry more consistently. Paired with shorter wait times and your job could be less stress on your home, wallet and family.
2. Shorter Schedules
With better deals, comes shorter wait times. During busier seasons, it’s not uncommon for painters to schedule projects a couple of months out. Since the winter months don’t have such demand on dates, you’re likely to move from estimate to production much more quickly. Flexibility will be your friend scheduling your work.
3. Ventilation
Paint fumes can be harmful to you when working inside. Even with low VOC paints, you’ll still need proper ventilation. Opening the windows when the weather is cooler can allow a chilly breeze to clear out the room. The reduced temperature can also allow you to be more comfortable while working.
4. Better Cure Times
Humidity and heat cause issues with your paint crew, making jobs take longer, but can also negatively affect your paint outcome. With heat and moisture in the air, the paint will take longer to dry, and could experience failures like chipping, bubbling and peeling. With cooler weather, these issues are not the case. Your paint will be able to cure naturally and beautifully.
5. Opens Up Summer Project Schedule
If you have interior and exterior projects planned for next summer, scheduling your interior project now frees up time during your summer next year. Breaking the project up into two pieces between seasons gives you an easier time with the finances and scheduling. You’ll have time to recoup the costs and sanity from one project before you start the next.
