Painting Exteriors in Portland

How late can you paint?

Cascade Painting and Restoration has been painting exteriors since 1988, so we know quite a bit about the subject.  Most paint companies now make a low temp paint–applicable down to 35 degrees–so it does extend the season somewhat.  Sherwin Williams has a product called Resilience that we like a lot for its drying properties in cold, wet weather.

Though painting is possible late in the year, it becomes more difficult for the painter with the short days, the higher dew point, and the chilly weather.  So, if you can, plan early, get a bid, and be ready to have your exterior painted early in the year.  We often have prime painting weather in the spring when its not to hot or cold–just right.
