A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your curb appeal and add home value. While summer may seem like the best season for exterior painting, fall is best. There are several seasonal advantages that can improve workflow and results, so consider these reasons to schedule the job in the autumn.

3 Benefits of Home Painting in the Fall

1. Work-Friendly Weather

Working outdoors in peak summer temperatures can be grueling. The precipitation in spring and winter can also interrupt the job site. Fall offers cool temperatures, and rain is likely to interfere with workflow. This makes it easier for exterior painting professionals to complete the job on time and with minimal interference.

2. Lower Humidity

The ideal drying temperature falls between 50 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the average fall climate in many areas. Humidity levels are typically lower than the 85% maximum, so you can count on fast-drying paint while the professionals work.

3. Scheduling Flexibility

Many homeowners choose to have their homes painted while they’re handling landscaping and other updates during spring and summer. It’s difficult to schedule painting contractors during these peak seasons, so it’s best to wait until fall. As they begin to free up, they’ll have more time to dedicate to the job. They’ll also be able to align better with your schedule.
