When should I paint the exterior of my house?

Early summer and early fall generally provide the nicest weather, with little rain and little temperature variation from day to night. This ensures that the paint goes on smoothly and has enough time to dry and cure correctly.

Avoid Exterior Painting In Seattle’s Winter Months

Exterior painting is definitely something you should avoid during the winter months where extreme temperatures become difficult to protect against (excessively low or high). The best exterior painting jobs are those that are carried out in temperatures ranging from 50 degrees to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

When the exterior of your house is painted while the weather conditions are less than ideal, there can be consequences down the line. Namely, exterior painting while it's too humid or excessively dry can result in chipping or peeling paint that won't last for very long. This isn't just unsightly, unsmooth paint - it's wasted time and money on your part! The same goes for exterior painting during spring thaw season. While you might enjoy exterior painting during this time of year once you get started, this process will quickly lead to frustration when you have to reapply for exterior paint due to rain damage days later. Call Seattle Skyline Painting Services and we will be happy to talk you through the best time of year to paint the exterior of your home.

By the way, exterior painting contractors aren't interested in causing your exterior paint more work. Not only does an exterior painting take a lot of time and money on their end, but exterior painters also understand that homeowners don't enjoy spending any more money on exterior paint than they absolutely have to!
