Have you been worried that you’ve missed your chance to paint your house? While many homeowners tend to get inspired to do home maintenance projects in the spring and summer, the truth is that you have all year long to get a new paint job done.

Naturally, increasingly colder temperatures and harsh weather can interfere with paint drying properly on the exterior portion of your home. You’ll also need to worry about shorter days cutting into the available time to paint if you work outside on your house during the winter.

Fortunately, you can still increase the beauty of your property during the fall and winter seasons by focusing on painting the interior where the foul weather can’t reach. Choosing to hire a home painter during this time of the year provides you with these benefits that stand out from other months.

You’re Already Spending More Time Indoors

Most likely, you tend to huddle up inside when those cold winds begin to blow. Since you’ll be indoors more anyway, you might as well have a painter come and spruce things up. This is also a great time for other projects around the house, which can make it more convenient for painting. If you’re already moving furniture around, then why not have a painter come and improve the appearance of the walls. The same can also be said for painting during or just after a kitchen or bathroom remodel.

You’ll Have a Beautiful Place to Host Holiday Events

Once fall hits, you just know that you’ll be having more guests. Whether you host a Thanksgiving feast for your family or have friends coming to visit for a gift exchange, you’ll feel more confident if the room was freshly painted. Cornerstone painting works fast and sticks to their schedule as much as possible.

Looking forward to showing off your home’s new interior colors makes hosting special events even more exciting. Since the walls are one of the biggest surfaces in your home, making small changes can have a big impact. Try painting an accent wall in the guest room, or change the colors in the living room. Your house guests will be impressed, and you’ll feel even more inspired to decorate for the season.

The Weather Actually Works to Your Advantage

Sure, the paint might not dry right outside in wet conditions, but this is still a good time for getting it to dry inside. Paint dries best in environments where the humidity is low. With less moisture in the air, the liquids in the paint evaporate faster and leave nothing but the beautiful color behind.

Since the paint dries faster, contractors can worry about dealing with less dripping that mars the finish. You’ll also love being able to use the space sooner than you might be able to if you’d painted during the summer. Faster paint drying decreases the likelihood that you could smudge the smooth finish.

Ventilation Is Still Possible Without Opening Up Windows

If you have sensitive breathing, then you might be concerned about being stuck inside with paint fumes. You might also dread having to open up windows during freezing weather just to help the paint dry. Fortunately, these concerns are easily addressed by choosing to ventilate your home without having to freeze. Simply rely upon the ventilation system that is provided by your heating unit. During the fall and winter, you are probably already needing to run the heater anyway. If you do incur a small increase in your heating bill, then this is more than likely offset by the savings that you enjoy from choosing to do your project during the winter when fewer people are choosing to hire painters.

Take Advantage of Open Schedules for Painting Contractors

One of the hardest things about working with a contractor is dealing with their schedule. You may prefer to have your paint job completed as soon as possible. You’ll also want to avoid delays if you are planning to travel or host guests. Since painting companies tend to have fewer clients during these months, you’ll get the best chances of receiving your preferred time and day to have them do the job. This is ideal compared to having to schedule many weeks ahead if you wait until the busy season arrives.

Free Up Your Spring and Summer

For the most part, an interior painting contractor will ask you to be home when they do the job. This helps them to be able to ask you any questions that arise, and they can make sure to get your approval when they are finished. While hanging around helps you get the best results, you might find this less than favorable if it means missing out on a gorgeous spring day outdoors. Scheduling your paint project to happen during the frigid months of the year means that you can take that summer vacation or just wander outside soaking up the sunshine when things warm up.

Get the Best House Painting Rates

Home improvement projects usually require some type of budget. As a homeowner, you know about how much you want to spend on a painting project and locking in the best rates helps you get more out of your investment. For instance, saving on an interior paint job could mean that you can paint an extra room or go with a higher quality type of finish. Either way, you’ll be happy to know that the fall and winter months are considered downtime for painting companies. With lower demand in your area, you can expect to get an interior house painter quote that you can feel good about.

The winter in Woodinville WA might feel long and filled with snow. Just think about how much brighter your days will be when the inside of your home is freshened up. As you get ready to plan your interior painting project, remember that quality matters. Since you’ll likely be inside during the painting, you want to ask your painting contractor to choose a low fume paint that doesn’t irritate your breathing. With the right type of paint and an experienced contractor, you’ll love the results of your fall or winter home improvement project.
