4 Reasons for Interior Painting this Winter

Posted on November 25, 2019

Summer is sure long-gone. Did your painting jobs get skipped in favor of more days outside? Cooler weather and snow and rain have you cooped up inside, so why not decorate those walls inside! Here are 4 reasons to opt for interior painting this winter.

Morning Light

Earlier sun rises mean you can get moving on your job early in the day to take advantage of light. Snow reflects light into the room allowing you to identify, and fix, holidays before you put the paint away. If you are working on your own, the light in the early day will help you to get a good amount of work done before the sun sets.

Dry Times

Cool, dry air gives your house the perfect conditions for efficient dry times. Humid air over the summer has the potential to hold moisture in the walls and cause issues with the paint film. Cool crisp breezes from the windows allow your paint to dry quickly without problems. Plus, the air flow will keep you comfortable and ventilate the room. Our pros suggest turning off the HVAC system before you start painting. Turn it back on after you’ve sealed the paint cans. This reduces the smells blowing around your house.

Availability

Since we are in a non-traditional season for painting, you’ll find that appointments are easier to get, and more readily available. Summer means many homeowners are vying for estimate and production times. Winter isn’t the case; you’ll move quickly from estimate to appointment to production.

Lower Costs

Along with faster appointment times, you could be looking at discounts or sales for your project. Paint is a supply and demand business with an off-season. Shopping in the off season keeps crews busy, which paint company owners appreciate. Some companies offer additional rooms, discounted rates or other offers to get you convinced to do some work. You’ll still get professional results in the end.

Holidays

More than likely, at some point over the holiday season, you’ll have guests in your home. Whether it’s a dinner party or full on vacation, you can spruce up your gathering areas before everyone arrives. A new paint job gives your decorations the perfect backdrop to stand out against.
