Placeholder ImageWhy Exterior Painting Should Be Done Before the Weather Gets Too Cold If you haven’t gotten exterior painting done yet, here is why it can be helpful for you during the cold months of winter.

We’re just about ready to jump into the new year, and we all want to make it the best year we’ve had to date. We’ve been experiencing some fairly chilly weather this winter, but there’s still plenty of cold weather left for the season. Therefore, if you haven’t gotten your home ready for the cold, there are still reasons to do so. One way to get your home ready is with exterior painting.  If you haven’t gotten exterior painting done yet, here is why it can be helpful for you during the cold months of winter.

Exterior Painting Gives Your House Resistance Against Rot

Winter brings about plenty of precipitation, whether that’s rain or snow. As a result, your house can be put at risk for developing mold and rot. This decreases the lifespans of the different surfaces your home has.

By applying paint to the exterior of your house, you give it an extra layer of resistance against cold weather. This means your house will have greater longevity and protection.

Exterior Painting Protects Your House Against Pests

If you have paint on your house, pests like termites might not be as enticed to eat away at your wood. Once paint has become cracked or chipped, however, pests could have an easier time penetrating your wood and damaging your house. That’s why exterior painting is important. Not only does it protect against weather, but it also protects against pests.

Paint Can Be Used As an Insulator

During winter, you want to do what you can to preserve the heat inside of your house. The more insulation your house has, the less money you have to spend on heating. Fortunately, paint can be used as a sort of insulator. When your house has a fresh coat of paint protecting its surface, your home’s interior will be able to stay warmer during the cold months of winter.

Paint is Able to Dry More Quickly When It’s Warmer

While temperatures have already started falling, there is still plenty of winter left, and temperatures could drop further. The colder the temperatures become, the longer it takes paint to dry. You can still paint your house when it’s cold outside, but it’s easier to get done when it’s warmer. Therefore, if you want your exterior painting job to be finished sooner instead of later, then painting during warmer temperatures is advised.

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!!
