Placeholder ImageHow to Help Paint Dry More Quickly These are some paint drying tips you can use to accelerate the drying procedure.

No one likes watching paint dry, much less do people like when it takes a long time. If you get a painting project done, you’ll want the drying process to go by as quickly as possible. When the drying process gets finished more quickly, you can attend to other matters around your house sooner. So how does one go about drying their surfaces once painting is done? These are some paint drying tips you can use to accelerate the drying procedure.

Increase the Airflow You Get Throughout Your House

Sometimes, you can get nature to do the work for you. By simply increasing the airflow in your house, paint will be able to dry much more quickly, and what’s great is that all painted areas can be dried sooner as long as your airflow is sufficient, rather than drying your walls one section at a time. If you don’t have windows to open, you can also use fans to get better circulation wherever you are.

Apply Lighter Coats of Paint

When painting your house, stick to lighter coats rather than heavier ones. The thinner your coat is, the less time it will take to finish drying. Some people think that the painting process will be quicker if you apply thicker coats because you apply more paint to your wall. However, heavier coats hinder the drying process, and you could even run into trouble making your surfaces look even if some coats are thicker than others.

Stick to Painting One Surface at a Time

After you’ve painted the first wall in your house, get started painting the next one. By painting your house in this manner, one surface will be drying while you’re working on another. This helps you use your time more effectively. By the time all surfaces in your house have been painted, the first area that was painted will be ready for you to apply the second coat.

Lower the Humidity in the Area

Keep the humidity in mind when getting your painting project done. High humidity slows the drying process, so you should try to aim for days that have lower humidity. If you have to get painting done at certain times and you can’t avoid high humidity, think about getting a dehumidifier. You should also turn down your air conditioning and make sure there is regular airflow.

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!!
