Temperature and humidity play a big role in how paint sets. Latex-based paints applied on your exteriors such as on windows or on siding panels dries best in temperatures between 50 and 85 degrees with humidity levels at 40 to 70%. Given these optimal conditions, it’s easy to see why many contractors (and homeowners) choose to do any exterior painting work during any season except winter.
For most people, fall is the season to head indoors with a hot cup of tea and cozy up in warmth. Not many homeowners consider scheduling home remodeling projects like a roof replacement or a siding installation during this time. But this is exactly the reason why you should take advantage of the fall season for all your building work. Among all the projects you can finish this season, one stands out in particular: deck construction.
This fall, sprucing up your exteriors doesn’t have to be limited to the usual Halloween decorations. Take inspiration from the vibrant hues of the season and get some home improvement projects finished before the year closes. This can include having your residential roofing replaced (if you’re due for a replacement,) or even simply painting your siding with brand-new shades. Let our home improvement specialists at Masters Roofing give you some fresh new ideas to upgrade your exteriors just in time for the season.
