Spring is the season of renewal, growth, and fresh starts. The days are getting longer, the weather warms up, flowers bloom, and the world kind of reawakens after the cold,  of winter. It’s when people start planting, cleaning, painting, and generally feeling more energized. Nature’s literally hitting the refresh button. The birds come back, trees bud, and suddenly you remember the sun exists again.

Painting your home in the spring is a smart move for a bunch of reasons—both practical and aesthetic. Here’s why spring is such a popular season for painting. The weather is perfect the mild temperatures allow the paint to better adhere to the surface. The lower humidity affects how paint dries. With the right amount of warmth and airflow the paint will dry evenly and quicker than in the cold of winter or the sweltering heat of summer. Having a BBQ in the backyard or just relaxing inside with your loved ones, a freshly painted exterior or interior gives your home a clean welcoming vibe. Winter can be rough on paint-peeling, fading, or chipping. Spring gives you a chance to a revitalize everything after the harsh weather. If you’re painting exteriors, getting it done in spring protects your surfaces before summer’s sun, storms, or heat really kicks in.
