Make painting Your Home’s Exterior Your #1 Priority this Spring

One of the questions homeowners often ask the specialists here at Right Track Painting & Sealcoating is “When is the best time of the year to paint my home’s exterior?” Although you can address this issue just about any time of the year other than winter, spring is by far the best time to undertake such outdoor projects. Here are 6 key reasons why this is the case:

• It gives your home’s structure the opportunity to recover from winter’s damage – the harsh northeastern winters take a toll on many home’s exteriors. When exterior paint ages or gets damaged, water can seep into materials and cause extensive harm. Painting the exterior in springtime is a great way to clean up your home and protect it from the elements.
• Moderate temperatures of spring allow for perfect curing – the optimal temperature range for painting home exteriors so the paint cures properly is spring. Exterior painting should be done when temperatures are consistently above 50° but prior to the summer heat settling in. Paint dries too quickly in hot weather and prevents a good paint film from forming.
• Paint your exterior before you start other outdoor projects – if you’re planning on doing any landscaping, paint your home’s exterior first. That way you won’t have to worry about getting paint on that new layer of mulch or have to work around any new flowers and shrubs.
• Prepare your home for summer well in advance of its arrival – getting your property ready for summer by painting your exterior well in advance enables you to avoid those unwanted hassles and untimely interruptions.
• You’ll have more free time to enjoy during summer – when the gorgeous New England summer weather arrives, your schedule will most likely be filled with gardening, sports, and other activities. Knock out your exterior painting during the spring so you can enjoy more of the summer season.
• Your home will look great when summer arrives – applying a fresh coat of exterior paint after washing away winter’s mildew and mud improves your home’s curb appeal and says you’re ready to entertain family members and friends. Just imagine how good your home will look when you have that first block party.
