Scary Cold Weather Painting Tale

The PW Asks: Do you have any scary cold weather painting stories?

The Painter Says: One time we were painting a cedar sided house exterior and it started to snow. Our biggest fear was that the snow was sticking to the stain and we worried about how it was going to look. It was only 10 degrees. Everything turned out and we never had a problem.

PW: Does painting home exteriors in cold temperatures have benefits?

Painter: Yes, because surfaces are dried out and as tight as they will ever be. Every inch of that surface is getting coated. When temperatures rise again and the surface expands you will see no lap lines. That’s Minnesota climate!
