Why Winter is a Great Time to Paint Home or Business Interiors
Posted on November 18, 2019
The winter blues may have clouded your eyes to thinking nothing can get accomplished this time of year. As a home or business owner, there are several advantages to painting now. Here’s why our pros say winter is a great time for interior or commercial painting.
Deals
Even the most affluent bank roller will tell you to take a deal where you can find it. In an effort to keep crews busy during off months, many professional interior and commercial painting companies will offer discounts and specials on their work. Busy summer months drive up costs, so take advantage of the slower season by painting in winter. Costs for labor and materials generally drop during these off months.
Appointments
Three-quarters of the calendar year are busy for painters. It can be difficult to get scheduled in an expedited manner when the demand for work is so high. During winter, you’ll find that companies are much easier to book with. With that, comes a faster move from estimate to production. More than likely, you’re whole job from start to finish will be completed on a much faster timeline.
Faster Drying Times
Long gone are the humidity and precipitation that hold up dry times in the spring and summer. Since we are experiencing low humidity and cooler weather, your walls can dry naturally with a cool, dry breeze. This takes away the chance of paint failure that moisture in the air brings. You will want to consider that your painting will require some ventilation. Opening a window to allow a cool breeze helps the drying along and keeps you safe. Even with low VOC paints, air movement is crucial.
Projects Completed Faster
Since the painters are not dealing with oppressive heat and sun, they can typically work longer hours that allow jobs to get done faster. Bright sunshine in the morning urges early days that don’t require as many heat breaks. Ultimately, you’ll end up with more hours during the day that are used for painting.
