Timing is Everything When Repainting Your LA Home

Painters in Los Angeles

The Right Time To Paint an LA Home

Any home remodeling project can toss around a schedule in the worst ways. When to repaint your home is an important question to ask because it’s not just about the state of your home’s exterior. Okay, it is about that, but it’s also about timing.

Find the Right Season to Repaint Your Home Exterior
Summer


Everyone’s doing it - which is the exact reason you might not want to. Los Angeles exterior painters are SWAMPED with work during the summer which means that your home is going on a big old-fashioned waiting list. Not to mention that although while the summer is a healthy month to repaint your home, that heat can dry paint way too fast, stifling its lifespan.
Spring


If you’re looking for when to repaint your home, go for spring. Los Angeles exterior painters are looking to get the busy season going, so they often offer discounts in the Spring. Think of the spring as the ‘early application.’ Responsible. Timely. Relaxed weather is great for the longevity of paint.
Winter
No one is repainting during the winter so this might give you a little more control when it comes to scheduling. Keep in mind that you absolutely do not want an exterior paint job done in sub 35 degree weather. It kills the lifespan of the paint.
Fall
This is as good a choice as spring. The weather isn’t bad, you’ll have the power to choose the exact day, and some painters offer deals; keep in mind that most of them don’t paint after November.

Don’t Paint in Bad Weather
If you’re set on a season there are a few things you want to avoid.
  • Rain will wash away all that hard work.
  • Snow is no good for a paint’s lifespan. Anything under 35 degrees is harmful.
  • Wind doesn’t allow paint to cure correctly.
  • Neither does a particularly hot day.
  • Humidity has the opposite effect. Paint takes too long to dry here!

Timing is Everything
5 - 10 years is the average rate of home exterior painting. Sometimes homeowners take on a smaller project to help spruce up the look without the big overhaul. Trim painting costs in Los Angeles are 1/3rd of the cost of an entire exterior paint job, and might be the right option for a homeowner.
However, if the paint is peeling, the caulk is going brittle, you really want to repaint that house. The cost of a paint job ups along with the damage that has to be repaired. Like anything, if a problem goes ignored, it gets harder to fix. Costlier too.
Your home’s exterior is a big first impression that you don’t want to let sour. If you’re looking for potential buyers, a fresh coat of paint is an incredible must that has remained a valuable return on investment.

Paint Your Trimming
If this article has made an exterior paint job seem like a complete nightmare it really isn’t. It’s just about getting a little more time out of your paint’s lifespan, optimizing. All of this can be determined by a reputable LA exterior painter like Novel Remodeling, but if you’re looking to DIY, look into trimming.
Painting the trim is a much smaller project. The entire project can be done in a couple of days, and the cost of trim painting in Los Angeles is manageable. Color theory and finish need to be taken a little more seriously here, but it’s not as big of a headache.
