Are you at a standstill with your home improvement projects because of the cold weather? Well, don’t put the paint swatches away just yet. The colder weather is the perfect time to revamp your living room, bedroom, or any other room that needs a fresh coat of paint or a new function such as a nursery or home office. Here are some reasons why you should get the painting done now:

Make Use of Time Off: There are going to be a lot of days off in the next few months whether it be because of the holidays or various snow days with the weather. It’s the perfect time to get a room, or a couple of rooms, painted. Just plan ahead.

Faster Dry Time: The downside with painting in the summer is the humidity. Excessive humidity means a lot of moisture in the air. Painting when there is too much moisture in the air could cause your project to dry at a slower rate. The dryer the air, the better, and faster, the wall paint will dry. Open your windows, just a crack, to allow for the crisp air to help dry the paint.

Start Early: While daylight savings can be a little off-putting for nightly activities, having extra light in the morning is perfect for getting a room painted. The earlier you get the painting done, the more sunlight you’ll have to help dry it.

Focused Energy and Saving Money: Prioritizing your time with home remodeling is key to making things as easy as possible. The fall and winter should focus more on interior painting, carpet cleaning, small scale remodeling, and much more. The summer is ideal for exterior painting, power washing, and larger scale projects. Planning accordingly will save a lot of headaches with scheduling issues, and it can also save you money.
