Why Winter is a Great Time to Paint Your Home or Business Interiors
Posted on October 28, 2021
The summer is over. We have yet to have really cold weather, but most people will postpone any home or business improvement projects until next Summer. But you don’t have to delay a project just because of the change of seasons.
Here’s why our pros say winter is a great time to paint home or business interiors:
Great Deals
Even the most affluent business owner will tell you to take a good deal where you can get it. In an effort to keep crews busy during off season 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 winter. Costs for labor and materials generally drop during these off months too.
More Convenient Appointments
Three-quarters of the calendar year are hectic and busy for most professional painters and painting companies. It can be difficult to get your project scheduled in an expedited manner when the demand for work is so high during Summer months. However, during winter, home improvement companies have plenty of time to schedule your project quickly.
More than likely, your project’s whole job from start to finish will be completed on a much faster timeline.
Much Faster Drying Times
Summer humidity and precipitation hold up dry times in the spring and summer. However, winter’s low humidity and cooler temperatures allow paint to dry more naturally and quickly.
Lower humidity also takes away the chance of paint failure that moisture in the air brings. During the colder months, you will also want to consider that your painting will require decent ventilation. Keeping windows open (even during winter) allows a breeze which helps with drying times and keeps you safe from fumes. Even with low VOC paints, air movement is crucial.
Your Projects Completed Faster
Since the painters working on your project are not dealing with oppressive heat and sun, they can typically work longer hours. This allows jobs to be completed faster. Bright sunshine in the morning hours of winter creates a shorter timeline for projects. Also, these early working days don’t require as many heat breaks for working painters. Ultimately, you’ll likely end up with more hours during the day that are used for painting.
These are just a few reasons why not to delay your commercial painting project until next summer.
