Spring is right around the corner, which means many homeowners will be taking time to spruce up their properties. If you're looking for a significant upgrade, now is also the perfect time for house painting for the following reasons.

Why Is Spring a Good Time for Exterior House Painting?

1. Winter Damage

Harsh winter weather can take a toll on your home, especially if it's been some time since it's been painted. In this case, moisture may seep directly into the wood and cause additional problems in spring, including mold and mildew growth. A professional painting company will take the proper steps to remove damaged paint and clean the home before applying a new coat.

2. Right Temperature

Paint needs to cure after it's applied. Unfortunately, extreme hot and cold temperatures affect curing times, which can ultimately diminish the look of your home. Spring tends to offer the best temperatures for painting, as it'll be above 50 degrees but not so hot that it affects the look of the finish when the paint dries.

3. Curb Appeal

Most people look forward to the warmer months because it means they can finally entertain friends and family in their backyards or on their decks or patios. However, if your paint job has seen better days, it'll stand out like a sore thumb when compared to your manicured lawn and neatly trimmed bushes. Exterior house painting ensures your property has consistently excellent curb appeal, which is sure to wow friends and family when they visit.
