Why Spring Is The Best Time Of Year To Paint
- Mild Temperatures: Oklahoma’s spring weather provides a stable range of temperatures, allowing paint to dry at the right rate without premature cracking or bubbling. Most exterior paints perform best when applied between 50°F and 85°F, making spring an optimal choice.
- Lower Humidity Levels: High humidity can cause moisture to get trapped in the paint, leading to blistering and peeling. Spring generally has lower humidity than summer, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish.
- Longer Daylight Hours: More daylight means painters can work longer, reducing project timelines and allowing for faster completion without compromising quality.
Choosing the Right Paint for Oklahoma’s Spring Climate
Oklahoma’s spring weather can be unpredictable, so selecting the right type of paint is crucial for long-lasting results.
- Weather-resistant formulas: Choose high-quality exterior paints designed to withstand wind, rain, and UV exposure. Acrylic and latex-based paints tend to hold up best in Oklahoma’s climate.
- Color selection tips: Lighter shades help reflect heat during the warmer months, keeping your home cooler. Darker colors add warmth and can enhance curb appeal but may fade faster in direct sunlight.
How to Prepare Your Home for a Spring Exterior Paint Job
Before applying a fresh coat of paint, it’s essential to prepare your home’s exterior properly. Proper preparation ensures long-lasting results and a professional finish.
- Inspection: Walk around your home and check for peeling paint, cracks, or mold. Identifying problem areas early prevents costly repairs later.
- Cleaning: Dirt, mildew, and dust can prevent paint from adhering properly. A thorough power wash removes contaminants and creates a smooth surface for painting.
- Repairs: Fix any damaged siding, trim, or wood rot before painting. Filling cracks and sanding rough spots will ensure a flawless application.
