Spring cleaning and warmer temperatures encourage outdoor work on homes around the country. Busy season means long waits before your estimate appointment and a delay before production starts at your home. When fall rolls in, most families are heading indoors for the cooler winter months. This means less competition for appointment times. You\u2019ll have more flexibility in scheduling both your estimate and production.<\/p>\n<h2>Precipitation<\/h2>\n<p>With the summer sun, the chance of rain is also waning. Rain can throw off schedules for painting. Your home needs to be completely dried out before work can begin. Every rainstorm is a delay in work. In addition, dew points are more likely to cause condensation on the new paint, leaving marks behind when it dries. Fall temperatures and precipitation is much more conducive to exterior painting jobs with longer days, less heat and less rain.<\/p>\n<h2>Humidity<\/h2>\n<p>No matter whether you are painting inside or outside, you need the moisture in the air to cooperate. Humidity can affect the dry time and bonding of new paint on your home. As the season changes, humidity drops to a level that will not change the dry times of your job. You won\u2019t have to worry about the paint not bonding to the exterior of your home.<\/p>\n<h2>Temperatures<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-10148 \" src=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1446\/2019\/10\/thermometer-151236_960_720-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"76\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1446\/2019\/10\/thermometer-151236_960_720-1-150x300.png 150w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1446\/2019\/10\/thermometer-151236_960_720-1.png 360w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1446\/2019\/10\/thermometer-151236_960_720-1-240x480.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 76px) 100vw, 76px\" \/>Many people are excited about lower temperatures. This is another good reason to paint your house now. The chill in the air allows painters to get the job done in more comfortable temperatures. Without the sun beating down, there will be fewer breaks and the ability to work longer hours.
