Did you know that summer can be the best time for painting your house? Whether you’re looking to have your home’s interior painted, or you want to freshen up the exterior, late spring, summer and early fall are great times to do it.
If you’re interested in updating the color of your home, here’s 5 reasons to do it this summer from Greenleaf Painters!
Best Time to Fix Winter Wear & Tear
With the bright sun exposing areas of your home that were left shaded and hidden during the winter, it’s a chance to take notice of the wear and tear left over from the colder and wetter weather. This can include cracks, chips, peeling paint, and even wood rot.
Summer allows you to prioritize the much-needed upkeep and maintenance of your home alongside your painting project, allowing the contractors to focus their efforts to bring your home back to a pleasing aesthetic.
Increase Curb Appeal & Attention
Whether you simply want to update your home, or you’re planning on putting it on the market, having your home painting project completed in the summer is a great way to show it off to the neighbors and potential buyers. Since the weather is warmer, there’s more foot traffic that can admire the work outdoors. And if you entertain in summer, you’ll have a fresh look for those special gatherings.
Let Us Complete Your Project While You’re Vacationing
Did you know that can have the work done while you’re away on summer vacation? Our trustworthy crews have done this countless times for customers. While we work on your home, you can have your feet up elsewhere. How nice to return home and see the finished, new look!
Note: We also provide this service all year long for interior painting. Winter snowbirds and other vacationers enjoy being away while their home is being updated!
Using the Temperature to Your Advantage for Interiors
The warm weather provides some benefit when it comes to having the interior of your home painted. While we also think wintertime is a great time of year to paint (see our video about that), you might prefer summer, when you can throw open your windows. Even the lowest VOC paints can have a faint odor for a few days. So if you or a family member is extra sensitive to scents — or if you just like the feeling of open windows during and after a paint job — then late spring, summer and early autumn are your sweet spots!
What About Exterior Painting on Rainy Weeks?
There’s a reason people say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a few minutes.” During especially unpredictable weather weeks, we use caution in working on your outdoor painting project so that it dries properly and remains fresh-looking for years to come. This is where our 18 years of experience of working around rainy days comes in handy! If you’re concerned about the effects of weather, please give us a call to discuss your project.
Rest assured, we are invested in you being happy with your final results and in your paint finish looking great for years into the future.
