Why Fall is the Best Season for Exterior Painting

Planning an exterior paint job? Fall might be your best bet. Here’s why it’s the ideal time to schedule outdoor painting.

1. Perfect TemperaturesPaint adheres best when temperatures are between 50°F and 85°F. Fall offers this sweet spot in many regions.

2. Lower HumidityLower moisture levels mean quicker drying times and fewer issues with bubbling or cracking.

3. Less RainEarly fall often has fewer rainy days than spring or summer, reducing project delays.

4. Fewer Bugs and AllergensPainting during cooler months means fewer pests landing on wet surfaces—and fewer allergens in the air.

5. Prepare for Winter WeatherA fresh coat protects against snow, ice, and cold damage. Sealing wood and siding before winter can prevent rot and decay.
