Can painting during the Winter months have benefits?
“Winter is not the best time to paint my house,” you may think. Well, you may want to reconsider that. Winter may be the best time to paint your home or business in the Prescott area. This article will present a few reasons why winter can be the ideal season for painting.
Paint Dries Faster in Winter
The very early summers here in the Quad-Cities are usually dry, but last summer brought much-needed rain and moisture. Then, the monsoons set in by the end of June, and the rain humidity lasted for quite a while. Moister in the air increases the drying time of the paint. Painting during the cold, dry winter will significantly reduce the drying time.
Humidity is the Enemy of Paint!
When the air is moist, the length of drying time can draw dust particles. Humidity during a new paint job can also cause flakes, chips, and blisters.
Stability of Temperatures
As was previously mentioned, humidity is not the best environment for exterior painting. Throughout Prescott, Prescott Valley, Dewey, Mayer, Humboldt areas, the temperatures during the winter period are likely to be stable. Of course, here at B&M painting, we stay informed of weather forecasts and will find the best time frame to paint during any season.
Painting During Winter May Reduce Your Costs
Cold temperatures in Prescott and the surrounding areas lessens the demand for painting contractors because home and business owners have misconceptions about winter painting. The result is fewer jobs for painters. The contractors are often willing to provide lower bids, thus saving customers money.
Modern Specialty Paints Are Winter-Friendly
The experts at B&M Painting offer paints and primers specifically customized for cold temperatures that have been specially formulated for cold temperatures. These will help maximize the freeze resistance, helping their durability. Additives may also help to achieve a great-looking texture in cold seasons.
