6 Reasons Why Interior Painting in the Winter is a Wonderful Idea
Posted on October 14, 2019
While winter doesn’t seem to lend itself to painting projects, our pros say it’s the perfect season for painting inside. Crisp weather can help your painting project along. Here are 6 reasons why interior painting in the winter is a wonderful idea. Here in Rochester, MI it’s the temperatures have started to swing and fall is upon us. It’s a good time to start thinking about winter home projects – and how the timing for the winter can be an advantage.
Price
Demand for painting over the summer makes wait times longer and costs higher. Most homeowners assume that summer is the only time for painting which means crews are swamped with jobs. If you wait until winter to take on an interior project, you’re likely to get started more quickly on your house. You may also be able to take advantage of special rates.
Enjoyment
Outside the air is colder, the days are shorter and it’s dreary all around. Why not take this opportunity to spruce up the inside of your house for the coming months. Sure, a new setting for the holidays is nice, but once the garlands and wreaths have come down, you can use this new color as a mood booster for the winter months yet to come.
Weather
It’s no secret that cool, dry air helps paint cure in the most efficient way possible. Humidity and heat can cause paint failures such as bubbling, peeling, and chipping. By painting in the wintertime, inside, you can avoid most failures that occur in summer. The air will dry the paint more quickly and allow coats to go on easier.
Value
Setting your house up for painting in the winter will have it crisp and ready for when the ground thaws in the spring. By investing in work on your house, you are increasing the value of it. If you’re planning on selling your home next spring or summer, you will be one step ahead of the competition by having your interior painting done before the season opens.
