When Is The Best Time To Paint Your Home?

While chillier months are perfect to settle in your home and feel cozy, these are actually the best times to start your home renovation projects. In fact, there are numerous benefits to painting your home’s interior in the winter months.

Prepare for spring

When it comes to winter, this cold season seems to last forever; by the time spring comes around, you’re eager to tackle all the home projects for a fresh new look. Instead of waiting for spring to come, capitalize on the winter months by scheduling your interior painting projects. That way you can enjoy your new spaces while you’re cuddled up at home, and when spring arrives, you can enjoy other activities rather than waiting for home projects to be done.

Better rates in winter

Since winter is a slow season for painters, you can capitalize on that to get a better rate. Not only may you have to wait weeks, if not months, if you decide to paint in spring or summer, but since there’s less demand for painters in winter, you can benefit from cost-savings. Additionally, you’ll be more likely to book your project around your schedule, not the other way around.

Faster drying times

Did you know that paint actually dries faster in the winter than summer? Humidity is to blame for a longer drying process in summer, but the crisp, cold winter air is your friend for winter painting projects. You can open windows to not only let the fumes out but to take full advantage of winter’s low humidity. It’s best to use low-to-zero VOC paints for health and safety precautions. 

Save time and money

Not only can you benefit from off-season discounts, but you’ll find more time for any external projects you’ve been waiting for when spring and summer hit. Another great cost-saving for winter paint jobs? Choosing the best paints at a discounted price. You can use the money you saved on your interior painting jobs and put it towards that deck remodel, exterior painting, or landscaping projects you’ve been saving for.

Brighten up your winter with an interior painting project

Enjoy your freshly painted home while you’re spending the most time inside this winter and ease your project load when spring and summer arrive.
