5 Reasons to Hire Interior Painter During Winter
Posted on December 23, 2019
Just like clockwork, as soon as the ground thaws, homeowners head to their local painters for updates to their paint. Avoid the lines by considering a winter paint job. Interior updates can be done even more efficiently and quickly, while the winter snow blows outside. Here are 5 reasons to hire interior painters during the winter.
1. Deals
It’s no secret that the winter is a slow time for painters. To keep crews busy, painting companies sometimes offer specials during the off seasons, like winter. Lower humidity and more comfortable interior temperatures make this the perfect season for a paint job inside your house. The weather could give you an even more consistent paint cure. When you consider shorter dry times as well, your job could be less stress on your family and wallet.
2. Shorter Schedules
Slower season means you’ll wait a whole lot less. Peak times over the summer can mean a great deal of lag between an estimate to production. You could be waiting several weeks. During the cold months, most homeowners aren’t lining up for painting jobs, so the demand for dates is lower. You will move quickly from estimate, to production to finished project.
3. Ventilation
Paint fumes can be harmful, especially in enclosed spaces. Even with low and no VOC paints, proper ventilation is important. Windows can provide a blow-through breeze of chilly air to whisk away smells. Lower temperatures can also allow you to stay comfortable during work. If it is cold enough for the heater to run, it’s a good idea to turn it off during painting.
4. Better Cure Times
The heat of summer works against the paint. Hot temperatures and humidity slow down the crew and the dry times. This means longer work time. It can also cause paint failure, resulting in chipping, bubbling and peeling. Now that the weather is cooler, moisture in the air is significantly reduced. Your paint can cure naturally, quickly and beautifully.
5. Opens Up Summer Project Schedule
Many homeowners find that upon further investigation the interior and exterior of their homes are both in need of work. Scheduling interior work over the winter allows you to break the two items into two separate projects. It will give your family, and your bank account time to recuperate before the next piece begins.
