Timing your paint job is crucial for achieving outstanding painting results. Factors like temperature, season, and weather conditions should determine when you book your project. Here’s our guide to help you schedule effectively!
Spring: Embrace the Blooming Beauty Outdoors
Spring is the perfect time for exterior painting, deck staining (read why this is a must for homeowners), and powerwashing, with mild temperatures and less humidity. Embrace the beauty of blooming flora as a sign that paint can adhere and dry properly.
Summer: Soak Up (and Use) the Sunshine
Summer is all about soaking up the sun. With long days and warm temperatures, it’s an optimal period for outdoor painting, deck staining , and power-washing. Take advantage of the dry weather and extended daylight hours to give your home a fresh look.
Fall: The Magic of Changing Colors
Fall brings enchanting autumn colors and ideal painting conditions. Enjoy moderate climates and lower chances of rain, ensuring a beautiful, long-lasting finish. However, when temperatures fall below 50º, it’s time to look inwards at interior painting, backsplashes, and drywalling.
Winter: Baby, it’s Too Cold Outside
Winter is cozy and perfect for interior painting, backsplashes, and drywalling. Snuggle up indoors and transform your living spaces with a fresh coat of paint. Timing your paint job is also about planning, so use Winter as your season to book your future exterior projects and gather inspiration for Spring.

Simply visit their site, enter the city name of your painting job, and scroll down to see a graph similar to the one below which we did for Lake Barrington, IL where we are located.
