Four Reasons to Start a Home Interior Painting Project this Winter
Posted on December 28, 2021
Most people do not think about completing home renovations during the Winter months. But if the cold weather has you cooped up why not make use of this indoor time by starting a home interior painting project? Our professional interior painters are ready and waiting to help you give your home some refresh during this colder season. Don’t let Old Man Winter hold you back.
Here are 4 reasons to opt for interior painting this winter:
Early, Longer, Brighter Light
The cold season brings earlier sunrises for most, so you can take advantage of earlier start times and well lit workspace. If you live in an area with lots of snow, it can perfectly reflect the light into your home, this allows for seeing painting imperfections easily which mean less touch up work and repainting.
Also, if you are working on your own, the early light allows you to potentially get the job completed in one day, before the sun sets.
Quick Dry Times
We all know that moisture is not good for paint. Winter time brings drier, cooler air that just happens to be the perfect conditions for speedy paint drying. Professional painters suggest turning off your HVAC system in the house while you paint. Your house will cool down but this allows for the aforementioned drier air to do its job of drying the paint quickly without creating bubbling or other issues.
Turning off your HVAC system while painting, also prevents paint smells from being carried throughout the house. After you finish painting for the day, you can turn it right on.
Availability
The professional painting business is a supply and demand kind of service, so sometimes there can be an off season. Most people do not think about starting a painting project during the winter, so you’ll find that it’s easier to schedule your project with CertaPro. Also, this means your project will be completed quicker.
Lower Costs
Starting your project during a considered off time means that you may find painting companies like CertaPro will be offering discounts or special offers to increase business. To keep crews busy, many companies will make these offers in order to drum up work. If you do your due diligence, and find a reputable, friendly company like CertaPro, you will end up with professional results at a lower price.
Holidays
Chances are that over this holiday season you’ll be hosting guests at your house. Take advantage of the short lead times and get your interior painting done before your big New Years party. This allows your decorations to take center stage, rather than dingy walls.
