In the early days of summer, we all tend to heave a sigh of contentment and look forward to the pleasant weather that stretches out for months before us. We get the feeling there will be lots of time for all the things we want to fit in, from outdoor activities to exterior house maintenance, plus lazy time in the shade. Sometimes, however, it doesn’t go that way. Has the autumn ever caught you off-guard? Has your summer to-do list ever lingered well past the beginning of fall? It happens to us all! When it comes to exterior house painting, here are a few reasons to get it on your summer schedule early.
Schedules Fill up Fast
There is a limited window for exterior house painting. Here in the New Jersey area, that window is roughly from May through September, though sometimes it is shorter or longer than that. Everyone who wants exterior painting on their home needs to try to fit it in that window. No wonder your local house painter’s exterior painting schedule is often fully booked by June!
Not only is the exterior painting weather window short, but it is also shortened further by summer storms. This can cause scheduled projects to be briefly delayed.
In short, if you want exterior painting done on your home this season, contact your local house painter right away! While summer lasts a good while, available schedule spots don’t!
Delayed Painting Can Lead to Home Deterioration
On the home exterior, paint is much more than an aesthetic touch. The paint is a protective barrier against the elements that would degrade your house. Sun, rain, snow, ice, bugs, mildew, mold… your home needs quality paint to keep it safe!
If your exterior paint is in good shape and you simply want to change the color, delaying until next season is fine. However, if your paint shows signs of deterioration (fading, peeling, cracking, bubbling), paint failure could be imminent. This puts your home at risk for costly damage. In this case, talk to your house painting company as soon as possible, and see if you can get on their exterior painting schedule.
