Why fall and winter are the time for interior painting

The summer is now over and here we are in mid-fall, in the northern parts of the country this usually spells the end of exterior painting. While you can plan and even book now for painting your exterior in the spring now is the absolute best time to have interior painting projects done. Let the pros at CertaPro explain why fall and winter are a great time to paint a home or business interior.

Deals, everyone loves a deal!

Even the wealthy will tell you to take a deal where you can find it. In an effort to keep crews busy during off months, many professional 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 the fall or winter. Costs for labor and materials generally drop during these off months.

Appointments

Three-quarters of the calendar year is 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 shorter wait from estimate to production. More than likely, your 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 speed the drying process and keeps you free from fumes. Even with low VOC paints, air movement is crucial.

Projects Completed Faster

Interior painting almost always requires less prep work than exterior painting and the prep work that is normally required for interiors is more easily accomplished. Without the need to move ladders and climb up and down them the actual painting itself can progress more quickly.

Holidays apply to homes and businesses

If you’re planning on hosting parties or throwing a big sale in the fall and early winter, having your home looking great will impress your guests, and having a business looking its best will create an atmosphere more conducive to buying.
