Placeholder ImageWhy to Paint Your House During Autumn Fall is often an opportune time of year to paint, and there are many reasons you should wait until this time to do it.

There are many decisions that go into improving your house. There is a substantial difference between a house and a home. If you’re trying to get your house to feel like a home, there are many variables to keep at the back of your mind. One such variable is the paint job. Painting your house completely changes its look and feel, allowing you to transform your house without spending too much time or money.

When painting your house, you’ll want to wait for the right time to do so. Fall is often an opportune time of year to paint, and there are many reasons you should wait until this time to do it.

You Can Take Advantage of Mild Temperatures

Fall is a season of mild temperatures, which are perfect for painting projects. Cool air lets you complete painting projects more easily. The sun’s intensity is lower during the summer, which makes the weather more tolerable both for yourself and for your house. Also, higher temperatures will make paint dry less evenly than you would like, and this can harm the end result of the paint job.

You can even paint the inside of your house during fall. For similar reasons, you can take advantage of the weather because you can open windows and make it easier to get paint fumes out of your house.

The Chance of Rain is Lower

While rain can occur at any time, it’s not as likely to happen during fall. This is a huge benefit because moisture is an issue for paints, making it harder for them to bond to their surfaces and dry. When it rains outside, you won’t be able to progress your painting projects for a little while, delaying the completion of your project.

Getting Ready for Holidays

While we did only just enter fall a short while ago, some of you may already be thinking about the winter season that’s right around the corner.  During the winter holidays, there will likely be people who want to get together with their families and decorate their houses. Painting your house lets you give off a fantastic impression to anyone who may come to visit your property.

Humidity and Moisture

You’ll want to keep moisture in mind during painting projects. Paint needs enough time to stick to the surfaces to which it is applied. There also must be sufficient time for drying. Humidity can serve as a setback, keeping surfaces from being dry enough to apply paint. If you try painting on a moist surface, the finish will be less appealing and less durable.

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!!
