3 Reasons to Paint Your Home Before Winter

As we get ready for the holiday season, so much might be on your mind that you might not stop to think about work that needs to be done on your home. Among the seasonal chores that you should be mindful of this time of year, your home’s paint job shouldn’t fall through the cracks. Fox Painting wants to remind you that if you’re thinking about exterior painting in the Lower Merion, PA area, then this is the right time of year to get it taken care of. Here is why you should give your home a new paint job before winter comes.

Avoid problems with peeling paint.

With the heat and humidity of summer, your paint might start to chip and peel. While this might be natural with all paint jobs, it is crucial to take care of this before the weather gets colder. Peeling paint can be an entrance for mold and mildew underneath the paint that can ruin the home. Aside from being visually unappealing, peeling paint can create a laundry list of problems, making it all the more pressing to give your home a new coating before winter.

The temperature won’t be an issue – but it might become one if you wait too long.

A key element necessary for the paint to dry properly is making sure temperature needs to be above a certain threshold that isn’t present during winter. As long as there is not too much fluctuation between the day’s high and low temperatures, fall provides the best range for the paint to dry. Many painting companies also consider November to be the final month for exterior painting, so you must schedule your appointment before it’s too late.

Get your home ready for the holidays.

If you want to turn some heads this holiday season, there should be more that goes into decorating your home than stringing lights and putting inflatables on the lawn. The appearance of your house during this time of year should also be a focus, and a new paint job will catch everyone’s attention and bring in plenty of compliments. When it’s a job done by Fox Painting, your home is sure to be a hit!
