As the weather warms up and nature comes back to life, May presents the ideal opportunity to tackle your next painting project. Whether you’re considering a fresh coat of paint inside your home, updating your exterior, transforming your cabinets, or revitalizing your deck, there’s no better time than now. At DeHaan Painting, we believe that May offers the best conditions for every type of painting project—here’s why.

Ideal Weather for Exterior Painting
Springtime in May provides the perfect balance of warmth and mild humidity, creating optimal conditions for exterior painting. Paint adheres best when temperatures are moderate, avoiding the extreme heat of summer or the unpredictable cold of early spring. Plus, with longer daylight hours, our team can complete projects efficiently, ensuring beautiful and long-lasting results.
A Fresh Start for Interiors
May is also a great time to refresh the interior spaces of your home. With the arrival of spring, homeowners are inspired to de-clutter and brighten up their living areas. A new coat of paint can completely transform a space, making it feel clean, inviting, and rejuvenated. Additionally, with windows open more frequently, proper ventilation helps paint dry faster and minimizes odors.

Perfect Conditions for Limewash Applications
Limewash is a timeless, elegant finish that requires specific environmental conditions for the best application. May’s moderate temperatures and lower chances of rain allow limewash to cure properly, achieving that beautiful, textured appearance that adds depth and character to brick or masonry surfaces.
Optimal Timing for Cabinet Painting
If you’ve been considering updating your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, May is an excellent time to do so. With the fresh air and manageable humidity, cabinet paint cures more effectively, preventing common issues like prolonged drying times or uneven finishes. A professionally painted set of cabinets can dramatically enhance the look and feel of your home without the cost of a full remodel.

Deck Staining & Outdoor Projects
Before the summer heat kicks in, May is an excellent time to stain or seal your deck. Staining during this month ensures the wood absorbs the stain properly, providing a durable and beautiful finish that will withstand summer gatherings, barbecues, and relaxing outdoor moments.
Get Ahead of the Summer Rush
By scheduling your painting projects in May, you can avoid the summer rush when contractors are in high demand. Getting ahead of the busy season means more flexible scheduling, faster project completion, and ensuring your home looks its best before summer festivities begin.
