Exterior Painting Before the Frost: What Buffalo Homeowners Should Know
For homeowners in Buffalo, painting the exterior of a home before the first frost is an important step in preserving the home’s beauty and durability. Paint of WNY’s professional painters offer exterior painting services that help to protect local homes from Western New York’s harsh winters. Our team brings over 20 years of experience, keen product knowledge, and a commitment to excellence – guaranteeing each project is completed with premium materials and industry-best practices.
Why Paint Before the Frost?
New York winters are notoriously tough on home exteriors. When snow and ice arrive, they bring cycles of freezing and thawing that cause paint to peel, wood to rot, and exterior surfaces to degrade. Acting before nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F helps block moisture, preserve siding, and minimize future repairs.
When Is the Best Time to Paint?
Early to mid-fall offers ideal weather conditions for painting – daytime temperatures between 50–80°F, lower humidity, and minimal rain. Paint of WNY’s team closely monitors the forecast and schedules projects to avoid chilly nights or unexpected frosts, ensuring the paint cures correctly and remains vibrant for years.
Preparation for Lasting Protection
A good exterior painting job is built on careful prep:
- Clean surfaces with pressure washing and mildew removal to ensure adhesion.
- Scrape, sand, and repair trim or siding for a smooth finish.
- Caulk cracks and prime bare wood to create a solid foundation.
Paint of WNY’s professional painters follow strict EPA-certified practices and use region-specific primers to boost durability and withstand Buffalo’s climate extremes.
Our experts use weather-resistant acrylic latex paints that handle freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and UV rays. Cold weather primers offer extra protection and help insulate surfaces, while our careful scheduling ensures every layer is applied on a dry, mild day for best results.
