Painting Prep & Planning for Spring
Are you looking to update the overall look of your home? If so, house painting should be at the top of your home renovation list this spring or summer. And, there are so many great reasons to do so! Get started today with the experts here at Durapro Painting! We are the trusted painting contractors for Chanhassen and the surrounding areas and are here to give you some tips and advice to help you get started. Here are some things to consider when planning your painting project this season:
Now is really a great time to plan your painting project. Since most exterior paint requires an outdoor temperature of about 50 degrees, late spring offers a more dependable time to paint. Improved paint technology allows you to push it, but in Northern states like Minnesota, it is recommended to wait until warmer weather really settles in And, with May being just around the corner, the optimal time to paint is quickly approaching!
It is also recommended to avoid painting after a heavy rain. Paint should only applied to a dry surface. Your painting surface can become moist either by direct contact from rain or snow or by humidity in the air. After a hard rain, it is recommended to wait at least a full day before painting. As you may know, moisture can bring mold.
As you begin to plan, you should also consider what colors you want and what kind of style you’re looking for. For example, if your home is more traditional looking, then you probably want to stick with traditional colors for your exterior house painting. Do you live in a unique Victorian? Opt for a little character with a splash of color or contrasting trim. Our experts painting contractors can even help advise you and help you select the right paint color for your unique home.
Having other work done to your home at the same time your exterior house painting is scheduled? Remember to let us know. We will try to be sure we are there when it is most convenient for you. We want to ensure we don’t disrupt any more of your normal routine than what’s absolutely necessary. Don’t worry about the prep; we can take care of that too! We consider most of our exterior projects to be 70% preparation and 30% painting. We take the prep work for any of our exterior house painting projects very seriously so that there is no guess work or complications. Our painting contractors will generally hand wash or power wash or do a combination of both. We always want to start with a clean surface. This will help ensure that the paint goes on smoothly and evenly and that the dirt doesn’t cause the paint to discolor or look dirty after it’s been applied.
