Why book an outdoor painter while it’s cold?
It’s Winter: the ideal time to order a painter, especially for the outside of your house. Exterior painters are busiest when it is not freezing and the daytime temperature is steadily above ~10 degrees Celsius. Lower temperatures are not good for the quality of the paintwork. It is possible to paint outside at lower temperatures with tarpaulins and heating, but these slow down the work and increase costs. That is why exterior painters work mainly from April to October: during that limited season, the best painters are booked up months in advance. That is why February is an ideal month to book an outdoor painter: then you can still choose among different skilled painters and different execution dates.
That is doubly true this year because of the lockdown against the Corona virus: many people are not planning anything for Spring or Summer. We expect that many customers will only order exterior painters once the lockdown has ended. They run the risk of having to wait for a good painter for literally months. You don’t need to run that risk, because with MrFix you can always postpone the execution of your job if necessary (or if you just want to).
Exterior painting for lasting results
.
To keep your house in good condition, major maintenance of the exterior paintwork should be done about every five years. If you don’t then the woodwork, such as window frames and doorposts, will weather and rot, especially in our wet Dutch climate. This can have nasty consequences such as leakages and mould. Our exterior painters will gladly take care of this big job for you. There is more to it than just painting: the contractor seals seams and cracks, removes wood rot to provids a neat, durable and sustainable end result.
