Are there weather restrictions to painting a house?
Weather is a factor that is watched very closely before, during, and after painting a home. When painting in Kansas City, and the Midwest in general, it is important when the paint is being applied that the substrate is clean and dry in order to guarantee proper adhesion. During the application, it is important to watch the precipitation in the forecast as well as the wind. The rain can rinse away the paint from the substrate if it hits it before it cures, and if the wind is strong, you need to watch that you’re not over spraying any surrounding items. It is also important to allow the paint to cure for up to four hours or more before rain is expected to fall.
