When Should You Not Do Exterior Painting?

The most obvious response to this question is that outdoor painting should not be done in extreme heat or cold. Too high of a temperature can make paint dry too quickly and become brittle, while too low of a temperature can make paint bubble up and not adhere correctly. Painting outside is generally not advised when the temperature is below 50°F or above 90°F.

When Should You Not Paint Outside of House?

When determining whether this is a good time for painting, one should also take into account other elements in addition to temperature. For instance, you shouldn't paint if rain is expected or if it has already rained because this could impact how well the paint adheres and cause mildew and mold problems later on. It's also advised that you postpone beginning a project if the relative humidity is greater than 85%. Last but not least, check to see if there are any building sites close to your house. Dust from these sites can easily blow over wet paint and destroy your project. Additionally, stay away from painting on windy days as dirt and dust can easily fly onto wet paint.

Is Pressure Washing My House Before Painting Worth It?

The quick response is "yes"! Pressure washing eliminates accumulated dirt and grime, which prevents the adhesion of new paint, as well as loose old paint, which improves the adhesion of subsequent layers of paint. Prior to beginning any interior or exterior painting projects, a pressure washer should be used to assist prepare a clean surface for paint application.

Should You Sleep in a Freshly Painted House?

Fresh paint contains solvents that emit fumes known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which may have negative effects on humans over extended periods of exposure, including headaches, nausea, and dizziness. It is generally advised that people wait 24 hours after painting before sleeping in a newly painted room. Therefore, it is best practice to wait at least 24 hours, but ideally longer depending on temperatures and humidity levels, before sleeping in a freshly painted room.
