The spring and summer months are upon us! This means getting our house back into tip-top shape. Ah yes, spring cleaning! There is something about the warm Texas seasons when it just starts getting warm that gives us an extra burst of energy and motivation. AKA the perfect time to spruce up the homes in ways you’ve been wanting to for months––like adding a fresh coat of paint! A fresh coat of paint can make your entire home feel different in all the right ways. Here are some other reasons to get started on your interior or exterior painting project.

Preparations to Make:

Make Necessary Repairs

There is little use to painting a home that is riddled with issues. These issues will cause the paint you are applying to peel, chip, and fade faster than they would normally and you’ll be back in the same position that you are now. Get rid of any damaged or rotten panels and scrape away any already-flaking paint before you get too far into the process. If you are still planning on going the DIY route for your painting, you may want to hire a professional to take care of the repairs for you.

Cover Surrounding

Once things are clean and repaired, you’ll want to make sure to cover any areas that you do not want paint on. Paint can be messy, especially when you’re applying to large surfaces such as the exterior of your home. Be sure to cover any electrical outlets, plants, and air conditioners. You’ll want to lock these covers down with tape, too. If you’re painting your home interior, don’t forget about the ceiling! Light fixtures and fans should be properly covered or put away before the painting process begins.

Why Paint in the Spring?

The Spring Weather is Ideal for Painting

Everyone loves the warmer months after making it through the Texas winter. New paint loves this temperature, too. The warm and consistent temperatures make for the perfect painting environment. Not only will your painters be in a better mood while doing the job, but you will also be more pleased with the results. You will get worse results if you choose to paint when it is too hot or too cold.

Foliage also plays a big part in why spring is the best time for an exterior paint job. Trees and plants haven’t quite sprung yet, giving your painter crew plenty of access to your home’s exterior. They’ll really be able to get every nook and cranny.
