When Is the Best Time to Paint the House Exterior?
Exterior painting can transform your home, giving it new life and curb appeal. But when is the best time to begin such a project? Generally speaking, the answer is clear - the exterior paints should be applied when the weather is dry, warm, and not too sunny. The temperature should ideally be between 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit so that the paint adheres properly to the surface. You also want humidity to be relatively low below 80%. It's best to avoid extreme temperatures in order to prevent cracking or blistering of exterior paint after it has dried. If you take these factors into account then you should have no problem finding the perfect time for exterior painting on your house!
How Long Do Exterior Paint Jobs Last?
When it comes to exterior painting, patience is definitely a virtue. While there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to exterior paint job lifespans, there are factors that will significantly influence the longevity of exterior paint jobs. Factors like climate, proper surface preparation, the type of exterior paint used, and the amount of direct sunlight or moisture the exterior endures can all have an effect on an exterior paint job's lifespan. In general, high-quality exterior paints with a durable finish will last around 5-10 years depending on the previously mentioned conditions. Investing in high-quality exterior paints for your exterior paint jobs can ensure long-lasting outcomes with impressive visual results.
