Is Fall a Good Time to Paint Your Home’s Exterior?

At CertaPro Painters® of Ellicott-City, we receive many calls from homeowners this time of year who worry it is too late for exterior painting. It is not too late and waiting until the fall actually has some benefits. Keep reading to find out why fall is a good time to paint the exterior of your home.

For paint to adhere to the exterior of your home properly, certain weathers conditions are required. Although spring and summer are both popular months to get exterior painting done, there are some downsides such as: rain, humidity, extreme sunlight and heat. These elements all negatively impact exterior painting projects.

• Fall can bring temperatures ideal for painting. The cool breezes make for the perfect exterior painting situation.
• There is a lower chance of rain in the fall meaning we can confidently book your project without having to worry about rain delays.
• Some homeowners will opt to have exterior painting done in the fall because they love to have it completed right before family and friends will visit for the holidays.
• Another benefit can be more flexibility with the painter’s schedules. Since spring and summer are the most popular seasons to have exterior paint projects completed, things slow down in September. This will allow you to work with the painter and find a time that is best for you.
