With the holidays now in the rear view mirror, most homeowners are taking a much needed period of relaxation to kind of wind down from all of the excitement over the past couple months. For some homeowners, however, the somewhat dull period after the holidays can leave you itching to find another project to get done around the house. While painting your home’s interior might not be the first project that comes to mind when you are thinking of things to get done around the house this winter, you might be surprised to find out that winter is actually one of the best times to do so for a number of different reasons. If giving the inside of your home a paint update has been something on your to-do list for some time now, now might be the perfect time for you to pick up the phone and schedule your appointment with a painting professional. If you are still on the fence about whether or not now is the right time, we invite you to take a couple of minutes to read through this short list our team of professionals have put together that helps to highlight a few things that make winter the perfect time for updating your interior paint.
You Can Get A Great Deal
Generally speaking, the winter months are a fairly slow time for most painting contractors as our New York winters generally aren’t the ideal time for outdoor painting. However, this lull can actually work out in your favor. During these slower months of the year, most painting contractors are going to be a bit hungrier for work, and will likely be able to offer you price quotes that would simply be unheard of during the rest of the year. If you are looking to score a great deal on your upcoming interior paint job, the best way to do so is by scheduling it in the winter.
Get Your Project Completed Faster
If you have ever had a painting job done before, you know that there is a bit more to the process beyond just slapping on a new coat. Interior painting typically requires multiple coats of paint, in addition to at least one or two coats of primer being put down before the paint is actually applied, and each of these layers has to be able to dry before the next is applied. Having your job done in the winter can actually make this a much quicker process. One of the biggest hindrances when it comes to paint drying is humidity, and during the winter months, that humidity is likely going to be at its lowest point. This means that not only will each coat of paint or primer be able to dry faster as there will be less moisture in the air, but it means that your entire job can actually be completed in a timeframe that might not be possible during the summer months.
It Frees Up Your Summer For Other Projects
When it comes to making changes and improvements around the house, the summer months are some of the busiest of the year, but there is only so much time during that window to get things done, and getting the interior of your painted during this home improvement prime time means that you are going to have less time for other projects. Getting your home’s interior painted in the winter, however, means that you will have more time this summer to get the other projects around your home done that require the warmer weather and the longer daylight hours.
