Summer offers the best conditions for paint to bond quickly, provided it isn't scorching hot. Direct, intense sunlight can cause paint to dry too fast, which leads to brush marks or uneven texture. Our teams often adjust their hours to paint during the cooler parts of the morning. This keeps the finish smooth and durable despite the heat of the season.
