Why Fall is the Perfect Time to Paint in Florida

You can get inspired with interior house painting at any time of the year, not just in spring. Fall provides a perfect weather option without the business of spring. With the (somewhat) cold er weather on its way into the Florida area, why not treat yourself to a fresh wall covering this season? Our house painters say fall is the perfect time to paint!

Painter Availability in Fall

As a non-traditional painting season, you will find painting companies are a lot more flexible with their scheduling. This goes for everything from estimate appointments to starting production. Typically, our summer backlog of work is completed by autumn and our crews are eager to schedule work! While summer appointments may be scheduled several weeks out, the fall allows for more open availability.

Perfect Weather in Autumn

The weather is much more cooperative this season. Even for interior work, humidity can ruin a perfectly painted wall. Since the temperatures are more moderate, crews will work longer without the interruption of heat. When the weather gets too hot, the paint thins and requires more coats. In opposition, when it gets too cold, the viscosity of the paint gets thick and hard to work with. 

With more comfortable temperatures, it’s a good time to take advantage of cool fall breezes. This will not only increase the ventilation during work, it will also keep the paint drying in optimal times. Shorter drying times means the painters can move more quickly between coats, breezing through the project.

Potential Specials from Painters

Many companies offer specials to increase work in what is considered their off season. Take advantage of empty schedules and get your work on the books now. Your wallet will benefit by keeping these crews busy now.

Prepare for the Holidays

While it is a smaller consideration, the holidays are coming. If you are hosting dinners and out of town guests, now is the time to clean up and paint those guest rooms and guest baths. A redo in the dining room or kitchen could be just the ticket to set off your holiday decor. It’s tempting to go full-on holiday themed colors, be cautious. Remember, the paint will remain long after the holidays have come and gone. Choose a neutral that will work year round for the best outcome.
