Spring is a Good Time to Paint Your Home Exteriors
Posted on March 31, 2021
The season is turning, and many are eager to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather. Including our painters! Some people think that exterior painting is best saved for the summer season, but they are missing out on a chance to jump start their house painting projects in the spring. Here’s why we think spring is a great time to start painting your home exterior.
With winter having passed, be sure to inspect your home’s exterior, the winter can leave your home not only looking worse for wear with dirt and grime, but also can cause damages that need repairs. Whether it’s cracking or peeling paint, or mold, mildew and water staining.
If you do happen to find these compromising conditions, be sure to act quickly, as conditions can worsen. Especially with rain and humidity on the way. Consider having a professional come and look at the damaged areas. After any repairs are made, painting can begin. Applying a new coat of paint can not only leave your home looking beautiful, but also protect it. Here are some more reasons to paint in the spring season.
Longevity of the job.
Falling between winter and summer, spring is the perfect blend of the two. With temperatures and humidity not at the summer peak, painters are able to more comfortably work on their projects. Not to mention, it will allow paint to dry more naturally with less risk of the effects of drying in high summer temperatures, and humidity. This can have a direct effect on how long your exterior paint job will last.
Better for landscaping and gardens.
You can also paint your exterior before planting your gardens and beds. This is ideal because exterior painting can produce run off and damage landscaping around your home. Be sure to trim plants that have grown against the house since you last trimmed them so that painters can reach the areas they need to. This will also prevent any trampling done by painters as they try to reach those spots. When the work is done, you can plant your gardens and beds without worry.
Scheduling is easier.
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.
Reduce costs for work.
Some painting companies even offer specials in the spring to bring in the early business at the beginning of the season. It’s worth checking to see if any of these specials are running.
