Many times property owners find themselves questioning whether or not it is the best time of the year to take forth their exterior painting projects. In reality, there is such a thing as the ideal time for painting a property’s exterior and that time is summer time. From the perspective of a professional and experienced painting contractor, summer possesses the best climate for all exterior painting projects. During other seasons of the year, we experience weather conditions such as snow, humidity, and rain which make it difficult to take forth any painting project. Exterior painting should be done during summer and here is why.
Before we begin, we must first mention that although summer time is the best time for exterior painting, you should always be mindful of the heat. Sumer is known for the extremely hot days that go on right? Well, one must remember that painting should be done in temperature no higher than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If you paint your home’s exterior when it is hot out, you can expect for your paint to blister and look very poorly. Remember that painting the exterior of your estate should always be done either late in the afternoon or early in the morning- you choose.
Furthermore, if you start to paint and it starts to rain, you must put the painting to a pause. Once the rain has gone elsewhere, retake the painting but make sure you sand the surface and repaint any water damaged areas.
During your exterior painting projects, professionals will recommend that you commence the painting process on the west side of the house then work your way towards the east, the reason for this being that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
