Planning a m n n., painting project around Hamilton involves a bit more than just picking colours-you have to think about the weather. Our distinct seasons, with humid summers and damp winters, can really affect how well your paint job turns out. Getting the timing right is the key to a finish that lasts.
Summer (December-February): Go Time for Exteriors
This is prime time for painting the outside of your house. The warm, dry days give the paint the chance to cure properly into a hard,
durable shell. The only catch? Try to avoid painting in the full, direct sun of the afternoon. It can make the paint dry too fast, which can cause blisters. A pro will know how to
"follow the sun" around the house to get the best result.
Autumn (March-May): The Sweet Spot
Autumn is another fantastic season for painting. The weather is often more settled, and the temperatures are milder, making it perfect for tackling the roof or a full exterior repaint without worrying about the intense heat. It's also a great time to get any
interior projects done before the winter chill arrives.
Winter (June-August): Time to Head Indoors
With the rain making exterior work tricky, winter is the ideal time to focus on refreshing the inside of your home. You can have the windows
open for ventilation without worrying about a sudden downpour. It's a great feeling to have your living room
or bedrooms feel fresh and new just in time for spring. Winter is also the perfect opportunity to sort out any plastering repairs on your interior walls.
Spring (September-November): Plan and Prep
Spring weather can be all over the place. While there are definitely clear days for smaller jobs, this is the perfect season for planning. Use these months to get quotes from painters
And book in your big exterior project for the summer, ensuring you get a spot before the busy season kicks off.
