Why Winter is a Wonderful Time to Paint
Posted on January 4, 2017
We often consider painting to be a warm weather task. And if you’re doing an exterior paint job, you may have to wait for it to be a little warmer. But if you’ve got an interior paint job, this winter is the perfect time to get it done. Why? For these reasons.
1. You Can Get a Great Deal
As a rule, painters have a busy summer, but just like the story of the ant and the grasshopper, they’ve got to put away a nut to get through the leaner winter months. As a result, if you’re looking for a deal, CertaPro Painters is likely to give you a much better bid for an interior painting job than you’d get during the busy, overbooked summer.
2. You Can Get It Done Faster
Even if the sun goes down at four in the afternoon, and the winter wind is blowing, you can have a painter work from nine to five with no problem; after all, you’re indoors! This both gives you more flexibility to get the job done and ensures you can get it done faster.
3. You Don’t Have to Throw Open All the Windows
Today’s paints feature 0 VOC (volatile organic compounds) – the source of paint fumes. The truth is that you don’t need to throw open every window in a room you’re painting in; you just need to ensure proper ventilation.
4. Winter Air is Great for Curing Paint
While the summer may have its virtue in many respects, there are parts about it painting contractors don’t enjoy, and one part of that is that humid summer air. The more humid it is outside, the longer you have to wait for the paint to dry. That holds up jobs, adds time to tasks, and generally makes an interior painting job a bit more expensive than it normally would be. But in the winter, with just a small crack of the window, those problems aren’t as prevalent.
5. It Gives You Time and Room in Your Budget for Other Projects this Summer
Finally, there’s this advantage, which you may not think about at first. By getting your interior painting out of the way, you’ll have more time and money this summer to focus on other jobs that are best done in the warm weather. So, this winter, don’t just stare at the walls; make them more colorful, with interior painting.
