When Is The Best Time to Paint The Exterior of a House in Maryland?

Painting a home's exterior in mid-Maryland or D.C. can be done typically from the beginning of March through the middle of November. Hallco has actually painted a number of exteriors in December and early January, but only when there is a warm front. Sherwin Williams paint company has made a paint called Duration that can be applied to most exterior surfaces down to 35 degrees. So basically, if the temperature is above 35 degrees, you can typically paint exterior wood surfaces and some non wood surfaces, such as stucco or concrete.

If the weather is really humid and the temperatures are close to 100, we'd suggest waiting a bit til the humidity and temperatures drop. But, Sherwin Williams again has a product called Resilience that works in more "humid" or damp climates. My suggest is to try to avoid a very hot and humid day!
