The Fall & Winter are Good Times For Interior Painting Projects

While winter doesn’t seem to lend itself to painting projects, our pros say it’s the perfect season for painting inside. Crisp weather can help your painting project along. Here are 6 reasons why interior painting in the winter is a wonderful idea. In Knoxville, temperatures start to fall in spring, October and November have daily averages in the 55-65 range usually, which are excellent temperatures for painting. Even when it gets cold in the harsher winter months, interior projects are very viable and often welcomed for the following reasons.

Prices can be lower

Demand for painting over the summer makes wait times long and costs higher. We service a large part of the Knoxville area and our schedules fill very fast in the spring and summer months, you have a much better chance of getting work completed in a short time window by booking in the fall and winter. Most homeowners assume that summer is the only time for painting which means crews are swamped with jobs. If you wait until winter to take on an interior project, you’re likely to get started more quickly on your house. You may also be able to take advantage of special rates.

You are inside more often

Outside the air is colder, the days are shorter and it’s dreary all around. Why not take this opportunity to spruce up the inside of your house for the coming months. Sure, a new setting for the holidays is nice, but once the garlands and wreaths have come down, you can use this new color as a mood booster for the winter months yet to come.

Cool air helps with curing

It’s no secret that cool, dry air helps paint cure in the most efficient way possible. Humidity and heat can cause paint failures such as bubbling, peeling and chipping. By painting in the wintertime, inside, you can avoid most failures that occur in summer. The air will dry the paint more quickly and allow coats to go on easier.

Prepping for a spring sale

Setting your house up for painting in the winter, it will be crisp and ready when the ground thaws in spring. By investing in work on your house, you are increasing the value of it. If you’re planning on selling your home next spring or summer, you will be one step ahead of the competition by having your interior painting done before the season opens.
