When is the Best Time for Exterior Painting?

Now that your spring gardens are blooming in full color, the paint on your house looks pale in comparison. You still might not have missed the window of opportunity to have the exterior of your home painted.

Certain seasons don't provide the ideal conditions for exterior painting. Precipitation such as rain or snow make it impossible to paint the exterior of a house. Excessive humidity also deters the exterior painting process. Dry weather is essential to ensure exterior paint is properly applied.

Late spring and early fall are excellent times of year to consider exterior painting. Ideally, the outdoor temperature should be between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit with little precipitation. When you have your house painted in the late spring, summer guests appreciate its bright new look.  If you wait until the early fall, guests visiting for the holidays will experience greater holiday joy!

Refresh your house with a new coat of exterior paint and feel proud to host this year's holiday get together. Respect the world around you by choosing green exterior paint options to minimize your environmental footprint.
