Is It Wise to Paint Your Home Exteriors During Pollen Season?

August 8, 2024
Is It Wise to Paint Your Home Exteriors During Pollen Season?

Spring is frequently seen as the best time to do exterior painting. However, the amount of pollen in the air at this time of year is notable, which could present complications for your project. Pollen can attach to a variety of surfaces, lowering the quality of your paint.

Is It Wise to Paint Your Home Exteriors During Pollen Season?

Challenges of the Season

Trees, grasses, weeds and other plant life all discharge pollen during springtime. Pollen counts increase during this period in areas with lush flora. Pollen from pine trees, in particular, is so abundant that it may be seen floating in the air in sheets. Allergies make it difficult for some people to complete ordinary jobs outside without using dust masks and getting pollen on their clothes and hair during the spring.

Siding painting during pollen season is a problem for homeowners who want to give their exteriors an updated look. Pollen can cling to wet paint, which can ruin the finish. Due to this, some people choose to wait until later in the season, skipping the milder spring temperatures, which are conducive for the curing and drying of painted exterior surfaces.
