With the summer season coming to a close, fall is a great time to do many chores that you've left unfinished. This is a good time to rake up leaves and accomplish other similar tasks. If your home needs a facelift, now is a good time to give it some fresh paint. With new painting technology, painters are able to get the job done in temperatures as low as thirty-five degrees Fahrenheit.
Less Moisture
With the fall season comes less of a chance for those pesky afternoon showers. When you're painting the exterior of your home, these afternoon showers can put a real damper in your plans. For paint to be applied and set, moisture needs to remain little to none. In the fall, you won’t have to worry about a torrential downpour ruining your beautifully painted home and having to start over from square one.
Lower Humidity
Because paint needs to set at a certain temperature, the fall is a great time to spruce up the exterior of your home. The humidity in the summer will cause the paint to run off your home right after it is applied. However, since there are usually lower temperature fluctuations in the fall, humidity tends to stay more under control. Lower humidity is your friend when painting the exterior of your home.
Mild Temperatures
With temperatures starting to become more consistent and less extreme, the fall is a great time to pick out that great, new color for your home. With the temperatures becoming more consistent, painters are better able to guarantee that your paint will look great and have few complications down the road. Additionally, now painters can even use special paint that is ideal to set at certain temperatures, even as low as thirty-five degrees. Mild temperatures are fantastic for paint.
Splash of Color Just Before Winter
Another reason why it’s such a great idea to paint in the fall is because you can spruce up your home right before the holidays. Wow your holiday guests with how vibrant and beautiful your home looks from the curb. If you're looking to impress holiday guests this winter, plan on painting your home's exterior now!
