Placeholder ImageHow Exterior Painting Projects Get Impacted by Rain Here are the important things to remember when it comes to how your exterior painting projects might be impacted by rain.

There is no denying that when you embark on an exterior painting project, you are likely to experience some type of weather patterns that might negatively impact the progress of the project overall. In fact, rain is something that is all too common among property owners and homeowners in the mid-atlantic. The reality is, there are certain things that are simply too troublesome to do in the rain. Ultimately, it might appear that painting the exterior of a building is impossible — but there are some useful things you can do ahead of time to make sure that you protect your project as well as the process even during a rainstorm. Here are the important things to remember when it comes to how your exterior painting projects might be impacted by rain.

Fresh Paint And Damp Wood Is Not A Good Combination

Unfortunately, there are a couple of things that should never work together — and that’s definitely fresh paint and damp wood. In fact, if you have any excess moisture on your wood, there is going to be trouble when it comes to freshly painting whatever it is you need painted. The reality is, moisture has so many unique ways to cause fresh paint to falter. Ultimately, it’s never worth the risk to freshly paint the exterior of a building soon after any kind of rainstorm — typically it is best to find time well after the last rainfall to plan on painting the exterior of your home or commercial building.

What Is The Wait Time?

For the most part, you’ll still want to paint the exterior of your building — even after rain — so you might need to know just how long to wait post-storm to actually paint the exterior of your property. In fact, the key to knowing when your wood is ready to be painted involves actually examining it prior to setting the time frame. The reality is, if you happen to have aged wood or older wood, then it might be best to wait three to four totally sunny days before painting the exterior of your building or home. Ultimately, if your previous coating is still in solid shape, you might be able to paint in the afternoon — even after a small drizzle. As a result, you will definitely want to make sure you keep an eye out on the weather forecast when you expect to plan any exterior painting project.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
