Spring is often representative of fresh beginnings. Typically, we think of “Spring Cleaning”, but we would encourage you to go beyond that and think of a “Spring Reset”. What area or areas of your home need a little attention? Is there an area that you are wanting to liven up? What better way to do that than with a fresh coat of the paint, instantly giving you that “New” feeling. Not only can it dramatically elevate any area of your home, it is one of the least expensive yet impactful updates you can complete on your own!
Spring is also the time that weather starts to change. The temperature and humidity levels directly affect the application of paint, how the paint dries and the longevity of the paint on surfaces. It is suggested that painting be done in temperatures above 55 but below 75 degrees. This allows the paint consistency to stay constant providing a smooth transfer from brush to surface. When the surface temperatures are a little bit warmer, the paint can properly stick to the surface which leaves you with a long-lasting finished product. When the humidity levels are too high, the paint can have a hard time adhering to surfaces which can result in bubbles and chipping.
