When it comes to commercial painting, timing is everything. At Dulakis Painting, we know that Florida’s weather can be unpredictable—and it plays a big role in how paint performs and how long it lasts. Whether you’re scheduling an exterior refresh or interior touch-up, here’s a quick seasonal guide to help you plan smarter:
Spring: Ideal for Exterior Projects
- Why it’s great: Temperatures are moderate, humidity is lower than summer, and there’s less rain.
- What to watch: Pollen and early storms. Make sure surfaces are clean and dry before painting.
- Pro tip: Schedule early in the season before summer heat ramps up. A great time to waterproof before Hurricane Season.
Summer: Plan Around the Heat
- Challenges: High humidity and frequent afternoon thunderstorms.
- Painting window: Mornings are best, when surfaces are cooler and less likely to have condensation.
- Pro tip: Avoid painting in direct midday sun—paint can dry too quickly, leading to blistering or poor adhesion.
Fall: A Second Sweet Spot
- Why it works: Cooler temps return, and there’s typically less rain than summer.
- Best use: Great for both interior and exterior work, especially if you need to catch up before the holidays or year-end deadlines.
- Pro tip: Be cautious of hurricane season’s tail end—always monitor forecasts closely.
Winter: Focus Indoors
- Challenges: While Florida winters are mild, occasional cold snaps (below 50°F) can affect paint curing.
- Opportunities: Ideal time for interior painting—dry air helps paint cure evenly.
- Pro tip: Use low-VOC paints and plan for proper ventilation during interior jobs.
