Fall is the season for cooler weather, beautiful colors and cozy sweaters. Many people enjoy fall in Western North Carolina because the mountains are ablaze with fiery colors and mystical beauty. Did you know that fall is also a great time to paint the exterior of your home? Chalk that up to even more reasons to love fall! Keep reading below for reasons your should paint your Biltmore Forest home this fall!
1. Cooler temperatures. Cooler weather makes working on a paint job easier on the body, as well as easier on the paint job. Extreme temperatures will make paint dry unevenly, such as the scorching summer heat, but when fall comes, the temps are almost perfect for painting. When the weather is hotter, not only can paint be slow and uneven to dry, but also can make a paint job harder to complete for workers because of the heat.
2. Reduced moisture and humidity. Another important thing to consider when you’re thinking about when to paint your house is how wet and humid the weather is going to be. Here in the Southeast, Biltmore Forest included, summer time brings hot, wet and humid weather which can affect the viability of the paint you paint your house with. When it is wet and humid, paint won’t dry the way it should, and the rain could really dampen your efforts. If you try to paint when it’s not dry, the paint won’t bond properly or dry the way it should. Humidity impacts the longevity of the paint, and as the seasons switch from summer to fall, humidity will dissipate making fall a good time to paint the exterior of your home.
3. Preparing for the holidays and entertaining guests. Winter is a busy time due to the holidays, social opportunities and celebratory parties. Because they are so busy, it can make it challenging to get someone over to paint your home before your guests make an appearance and then you’ll have to wait another year until the weather is right to paint your home. By booking with us in the fall, we can save you time and energy and your home’s new paint job can be showed off to future holiday guests!
4. Less chance of rain. Like the other couple points we made above, wet weather is bad for painting. Fall tends to be dryer than other seasons and generally has less rainfall than spring or summer. Rain can cause project delays, so painting your home’s exterior in the fall is a great option for a speedy project!
5. Scheduling flexibility. When you try to book a painting project in the summer, there is often high demand for services, making scheduling a consult and the work kind of a challenge if you really need it done as soon as possible. Fall tends to be a slower season for many home improvement and landscaping projects, making it easier and quicker for you to get on the schedule. If you book in the fall, not only are you ensuring your paint job will be given the best opportunity to be exactly the way you want it, but you can get on the schedule easier too!
