Why Paint the Exterior in the Fall
The exterior paint job is an extremely important aspect of maintaining your home. That’s why it’s essential to get this project done when you still have the weather conditions that are most favorable for painting.
One important reason to paint in the fall is because at this time, there isn’t a lot of other work (other than lawn care) that needs to be done on your property. During the winter months, there may be many indoor projects you need to take care of to keep your home in shape. In the fall, s home’s exterior is free to be repainted by a professional painter without getting in the way of summertime activities.
Here are some other benefits of having your home exterior painted in the fall:
- You can take advantage of cooler temperatures for a more efficient job
- The paint will set better and adhere to the exterior more effectively
- You won’t have to deal with pollen, dirt and insects getting stuck in wet paint
- You can take advantage of lower prices when painters are not in high demand
- When you repaint your home’s exterior in the fall, it gets an additional layer insulation against snowstorms and rain showers
Moderate Long Island Months are Better For Painting

You will have to deal with rain less often during these three months. In addition, you won’t have to fight against pollen from grasses and trees which can severely reduce the quality of paint job. Similarly, you won’t find as much dirt and insects stuck into the paint.
