Perp work: The key to longevity on exterior paint jobs!
Yes, it’s hot and humid. Should you paint your house? Even with good prep work, will the job still last as long? These thoughts and more wander into people’s heads during the hot August and September months, and safe to say, you don’t have to worry.
To maximize job longevity and minimize the chance paint could dry out too fast without properly curing, painters shouldn’t paint in direct sunlight during the hottest part of midday. Elysium Painters follow the shade around the house, so even at noon, we’re not painting the hottest, most extreme areas. Exterior house painting can go on without concern, especially if the crew starts early or works strategically loooong days when it’s overcast, as we tend to do.
The only thing we don’t recommend in high humidity and heat is deck staining, especially if you live near a lake. Stay tuned for our next blog article to cover this specifically.
