Local Climate Impact on Painting
The Mid-South's four distinct seasons cause significant expansion and contraction in exterior painted surfaces — quality prep and flexible acrylic paints are essential.
Top Tip for AR
Power wash and prime all exterior surfaces before painting — wood trim and siding absorb more moisture in the Mid-South than in drier climates, and skipping primer leads to early failure.
Watch Out For
Painting in temperatures below 50°F or above 90°F leads to adhesion failure. The Mid-South's narrow spring and fall windows are prime painting seasons.
