Taking into account heat, humidity, rain and snowbirds, what time of year is best for having the outside of one's house painted?

("Snowbirds" included because demand may be higher; not because I think they'd get in the way)

considering the bilder buds 12 months a year, I don't think any time period is an advantage--when you're ready get a good painter, highly recommend Oscar's

Neighbors just had their home painted, the paint dried in 20 minutes, and the downpour we had about a hour did not harm the paint. I was amazed, I expected to see a stream of paint on the lawn and street. So IMHO, have it painted when convenient to you. Painting was done by Steve Kling, paint was Sherwin Williams, and they did a very nice job. Will probably use them for our house.

Some will tell you if you have step cracks, it’s best to repair and paint in cooler months. But I left it up to the professional. The rain is the biggest problem

Let me know when she gets finished, I think I have another project for her.

Oh I forgot what does she charge?

When my girlfriend was having chemotherapy, I would always tell the nurses to hurry up so she can go home and finish painting the house.

You must understand: I'm not recommending her until I see the finished product
