painter north walesThe spring is soon upon us! As it’s just a few weeks until spring properly sets in, now is the time to begin mapping out your plans in regards to home maintenance, decorating and painting, along with those spring cleaning chores we all know and love.

As the weather becomes a lot more bearable, it’s time to put some focus on our exteriors. Whether it’s your home or a commercial property, spring is a great time to combat any wear and tear from the winter, tidying it up for the spring and summer months ahead. Exterior painting is sometimes thought of as the biggest job, so taking it out first on your list will mean it’s all downhill from there!

Why spring?

Well, spring is a much more comfortable month than that of winter. It’s a pleasant time for us to be outdoors, and doing it now means that you’ll get any trampled plants or worn areas of grass over and done with before summer sets in, where you’ll want your flowers and garden area looking on point. Get the exterior painting done before the barbecues, gardening and sports!

By waiting further to paint your property, you allow exposed wood to taken even more of nature’s force. It really doesn’t take long for things to start falling apart or rotting, which means you’ll have to make repairs before you can even consider painting.

Some of the paints and exterior finishes are most effective, better applied and dried when under the spring time conditions. Leave it to summer and your paint might dry too quickly, causing bad paint film formation. Painting in spring, among the moderate weather will mean you’re much more likely to get a longer-lasting, high quality paint job.

By choosing spring you’re much less likely to have to paint in wind, rain or high temperature weather. Painting in wind can lead to dust being blown up into wet paint, while painting in moist or rainy weather will also significantly affect your paint job.

Once your exterior painting is finished, you can easily move on to the garden, inside of the home, repairs or any other areas that you want, content knowing that one of the hardest jobs has been completed!
