Painting your home in winter makes great sense!

House painting during the colder months isn’t that much of a problem. In fact, the professional painters do it all the time. Here are four reasons why you should too:

  • You won’t have problems with humidity, which can happen in summer. A humid environment will slow down the dry time for paint. It also makes it physically more challenging in a hot environment.
  • Tradies are not as busy and are often readily available for winter work. Often they’re flat out and can be booked months in advance in spring and summer.
  • You might be able negotiate a better price. During the off season a tradie may lower their prices to get your work.
  • Painting now will maximise the value of your home, especially if you’re planning on selling it during the spring.

If they weren’t enough incentive, painting your home in winter leaves the warmer months free. You’ll be able to entertain, host BBQ’s and fully use every part of your home in summer!
