4 Reasons Why Painting in the Winter Isn’t a Bad Idea

Posted on January 19, 2020

As winter winds howl outside, you might be feeling a little stir crazy. Put your fidgety hands to work with an interior painting project.

The low humidity and cooler temperatures make winter the perfect time for a paint job. Plus, you’ll free up your spring and summer time to be with your family in the great outdoors.

Here are 4 reasons why painting in the winter isn’t a bad idea

Time and Availability

Now that the holidays have ended, you might be feeling a bit at loose ends. With the weather, you are not likely inclined to head outdoors, so spend time inside sprucing up your home. If you’re taking on the job yourself, evenings and weekends that were filled with events of the season are slower, so get to work! If you’re looking to bring in assistance from a painting crew, you will find it’s a slow season. Getting appointments and work scheduled is much easier.

Avoid Post Holiday Dreariness

It’s always a bit sad when the holidays end and the decorations come down. You’re left with just the bleak outdoors and an overwhelming dreariness inside. Avoid the winter blues by giving your interior a facelift or let the our professional interior painters do it for you. It will refresh the feeling inside and give you a much more enjoyable winter.

Weather Inside and Out

While it’s likely too cold to paint outside, inside is a-ok. The humidity in the air is reduced significantly meaning your paint can better bond to the walls in a more quick timespan. Humidity can make paint films form too quickly and lead to cracking and peeling among other issues. Even inside, these changes in the atmosphere make for a better outcome in your painting.

Summer Fun

By taking on a painting project during the winter time, you are freeing up your spring and summer days. Get your painting inside out of the way before the ground thaws so that you are sure to enjoy the first warm days of spring when they arrive.
