Frequently Asked Questions
What time of year is ideal for painting a house?
Late spring or early summer are the finest seasons to paint your house because of the moderate temperatures and low humidity. Due to moisture trapped beneath the surface, humidity can alter how quickly paint dries as well as lead to early paint failure. Extreme heat is not advised for painting because it will also interfere with drying and adherence. If you must paint outside in warm weather, try to pick a time of day when it's cooler, like the early morning or late at night.
When Should You Not Paint Outside of House?
When the temperature is over 90 degrees Fahrenheit or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius), painting is not advised (32 degrees Celsius). Additionally, avoid painting in humid or rainy situations as this may lead to poor adherence and eventual blistering or peeling. Before beginning any outdoor painting jobs, make sure to think about hiring a pressure washing service to help guarantee that dirt and debris do not become stuck underneath the new paint job. Since some paints may emit fumes that could be hazardous if inhaled for an extended length of time, avoid sleeping in freshly painted rooms.
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.
