By now, most areas in the US have noticed the telltale signs of spring. Birds are singing, and flowers, grass, and leaves are growing back. For many homeowners, springtime calls them outdoors, where they may also notice that the exterior paint could use a refreshing, new coat. If this applies to you, you’re in luck! Spring is possibly the best time to get this task done.
Warmer Weather
Trying to paint the outside of your house in the wintertime can be tricky, especially if you live in a place where snow and ice are common. Paint needs to dry properly, and cold weather can complicate the process or leave you with imperfections in the finish. On the other hand, summer heat can also mess with wet exterior paint.
Spring’s warmer weather is the perfect time to finally get that project done. The temperature should be in a better place and make it easier to apply paint, but not too hot. Just make sure rain isn’t in the forecast for a couple of days to give the paint plenty of time to dry!
Protection Against the Summer Sun
As much as we love the sun, its rays can cause damage. The existing coat of ...
... paint you have on the wall can have years of sunlight discoloration, wearing down the surface over time. When you apply a new coat, not only do you get to enjoy a fresh color, but you also place a protective layer on your home’s exterior, potentially extending the life of your home’s exterior against Mother Nature.
Spring Savings
Depending on which painting company you choose, you could enjoy a special offer. Some contractors realize that now is prime time for painting and want to help homeowners take that step to get it done while conditions are ideal. It’s a win-win for you as a customer!
Before the summer heat comes along, take advantage of spring and paint the exterior of your house with a contractor you can trust!
