HOW TO GET AN EARLY JUMPSTART ON A CONTRACTOR’S BUSY SPRING CALENDAR WITH WINTER-FRIENDLY EXTERIOR PAINT

2/19/2025

As spring approaches, homeowners often look to spruce up their exteriors with fresh paint. However, many contractors tend to fill up their schedules once the weather warms, making it difficult to find a time for your project.
But what if there was a way to get your exterior painting done much earlier in the season? The answer lies in choosing the right paint—one that can be applied in winter conditions.

The Perfect Solution: Element Guard® Exterior Paint
If you’re eager to get ahead of the spring rush, consider using Element Guard® Exterior Paint from Benjamin Moore. This innovative paint is specially formulated to perform exceptionally well in challenging weather conditions, including high moisture and colder temperatures. Unlike traditional paints that can only be applied in optimal temperatures and low humidity, Element Guard® allows you to have more flexibility when you paint.

Key Features of Element Guard® Exterior Paint
  • Weather-resilient. Designed to tackle high humidity and moisture levels, this paint performs reliably, even in wet conditions.
  • Cold weather application. You can use Element Guard® down to 35 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for winter applications.
  • Quick drying. With the capability to paint within just an hour after rain, you won’t have to worry about weather delays disrupting your timeline.
  • Beat the spring rush. Get your desired contractors before they get booked up as the weather gets nicer.

Why Act Now?
Winter is a great opportunity to rethink and refresh your home’s exterior. By using Element Guard®, you can ensure that the weather won’t hinder your paint job and jumpstart your project before the inevitable spring rush begins.
​
As soon as the temperatures rise and the flowers begin to bloom, many homeowners will be searching for contractors to refresh their exteriors. By painting now, you can avoid the long wait times that come with a crowded calendar.
​
Benefits of Early Planning
  1. Availability. Many contractors will already be booked once the season is in full swing. By scheduling your project during the winter, you’ll have a wider selection of contractors to choose from.
  1. Quicker completion. Beat the rush and complete your painting project earlier in the season, allowing more time for you to enjoy your refreshed home.
  1. Superior finish. Element Guard® Exterior Paint not only ensures durability but also a smooth, even finish that will stand the test of time.
  2. Market-ready. If you plan on selling your home during the busy spring and summer real estate seasons, painting now ensures you can get your home on the market as soon as you’re ready without contractor delays.

Tips to Ensure a Successful Painting Project
Before you dive into your project, be sure to:
  • Plan your colors. Take some time to choose a color scheme that will elevate your home’s exterior curb appeal and protect its value.
  • Hire the right contractor. Do your research and find a contractor who has experience working with cold-weather paints and conducting necessary repairs before painting to bring your vision to life.
