Wilmington House Painters

Based on our annual weather in Wilmington, you can technically have your house painted year-round! To have a high-quality exterior paint job, the best temperatures for latex-based paints are 50-85° F, and the best temperatures for oil-based paints is 40-90° F. If it gets too hot or too cold, the paint may not bond properly to your exterior which causes paint to crack and peel.

Whenever you need some exterior painting work done, we’re happy to coordinate your project around the weather. We'll provide our recommendations on the best time for your exterior house painting project.

Your house should be painted when you notice signs of paint failure. Failed paint leaves your house and interior walls exposed to water, moisture, and other elements, which could damage your siding and drywall, leading to costly repairs. As such, paint isn’t only something that makes your house look amazing; it also protects your house.

Cracking, peeling, and bubbling paint are some of the obvious signs of paint failure. If you see failed paint in your interiors or on your exterior, you should consider having those surfaces repainted!
