Why Winter Painting is Best for Interior Projects
Posted on February 13, 2019
Baby it’s cold outside, so no exterior projects are happening on your home. That’s no reason to get complacent with the interior. You have a perfectly good reason to take on a new painting project inside. Here’s why winter painting is best for interior projects.
Whether you choose to paint yourself, or hire a professional, there are a number of reasons to take on your project during the cold winter months.
Early light.
In winter, the sun is up earlier. Take advantage of the early light by getting your interior winter painting done early in the day. The snow will act as a light reflector and help you be more swift and thorough in the process. Missed spots, are easier to detect and correct.
Time off.
Between the winter holidays and the many snow days you could see, there is extra time afforded to you at home. Take a lazy day and get a productive project completed. A local painting professional will often work around the holidays when many offices are closed / home for the holiday.
Dry times.
The lack of humidity in the air will give your project a chance to dry quickly. The cooler weather makes working more comfortable and the dry job will be noticeably shorter. Crack the windows in your room to allow a small breeze through. It will keep you cool, dry the walls and let any fumes out.
Professionals cost less.
Because outside paint jobs are off limits until the weather clears up, painting contractors are more available. Researchers have proven that professional painting crews can be up to 25% less expensive during winter months.
Quicker response.
Painting companies are slower during the winter, allowing them to schedule your project more quickly. During the winter months, lead times of weeks and months are virtually unheard of. You’ll be able to get your estimates and projects scheduled quickly.
Low VOCs.
With the advent of new acrylic paints, there are Low Volatile Organic Compound options in your paint supplies. This will reduce or completely eliminate the smell normal paints can produce. They are safe for use indoors with low ventilation required.
Painter Offers.
Since most painting contractors know it’s slower season for jobs, they make great offers for you to take advantage of. Most of these specials will run from November through March. It’s a good time to put into motion an interior painting project with the help of a professional.
