As we welcome spring and summer, many of us are giving our homes a good scrubbing on the inside and planting flowers outside, all to make our homes more enjoyable. Why not consider giving your home an even bigger enhancement with exterior painting? Spring is a great time for exterior painting for several reasons:
- Dry surfaces are ideal for painting – Dry surfaces are important for painting. As the humidity increases with the summer, it can create more difficulties in painting.
- Warm, but not hot weather – Fresh paint doesn’t react well to cold weather, so waiting for winter to end is best. Though professional painters will treat you with kindness and respect, you’ll likely have happier painters in mild weather before extreme temperatures hit.
- Protect your home’s exterior – The paint on your home acts as a barrier to damage from sun, wind and rain. Give your home an advantage by painting before hurricane season comes around.
- Add a pressure wash to up your spring cleaning game – Give your home a quality pressure wash before painting to make sure the paint application looks ideal and your home looks its very best.
- Color inspiration – Many of us are ready to welcome the bright and beautiful colors of the spring after the long fall and winter months. This can be a great inspiration for choosing a color that cheers you up and brightens your neighborhood.
As you can imagine, a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your home. Contact your local painting contractor to learn about your options.
