There is something about the thought of a warm sun beating down on your back, a melting ice cream cone in hand, and a bright, cloudless sky that inspires us to paint our homes. It is the most popular time of year for painting companies, and that is no different for CertaPro Painters\u00ae of Summerlin!<\/strong> We also know, though, that plenty of homeowners choose the DIY path for painting their home.

When to Make Your Move<\/span><\/h2>\n

While the summer heat can be inviting for you, your paint may not feel the same way. The first thing to consider when painting in the summer is the weather. Temperatures above 70 can make it hard for paint to bind properly and result in cracking and peeling. It\u2019s not just the heat you have to worry about, though.<\/strong> Wind and rain can also affect your paint job in a negative way. Fortunately, there are certain paints that you can choose to make it a little easier, but more on that later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideally, you\u2019ll want to choose a day that is below 70 degrees with minimal wind or weather. To make the process better, try to paint on the areas that are in the shade and adjust as the sun shifts in the side. Another tip is to cool your paint buckets using ice!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Prepare Your Surfaces<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once you have the day chosen, you\u2019ll want to get to work on preparing your surfaces. Proper preparation work often means cleaning, sanding, scarping, and light repairs. If you do choose to go with a professional painting company, they will be able to do all of this for you. If you\u2019re doing the DIY route, most of this can be done by renting equipment.<\/strong> Remember, though, that different surfaces require different preparations. Stucco, for example, will take a lot more prep time than siding. No matter what though, you can guarantee that the preparation work you put in will make your project look better when you\u2019re done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Paints to Choose<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another vital step is to choose the right paint for the job. When you are painting in the summer, it is even more important to choose a high-quality paint<\/a>. By spending a few extra dollars, you can ensure that your paint will look better for longer. If you are lost at where to start, you can always give the professionals at CertaPro Painters\u00ae a call!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
