Whew! Another rental season almost in the books. It’s time
for the kids to head back to school and time for many residents here on the OBX
to resume the laid-back lifestyles of island dwellers…but for all of us here at
Beach Painting Contractors, it’s time to get busy again.
It may seem a bit early to start thinking about the next
season, but if you suspect you have moisture and rot problems, you won’t want
to wait. Water infiltration is more likely to be problematic in the Fall and
Winter months and could lead to prolific damage. If your house requires
extensive repairs, it may be difficult to complete the work before the rental
season if you wait until Spring.
It appears counterintuitive to paint or repair the exterior
of a house in the Winter, and that may be so in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest; however,
the average fall and winter temperatures on the Outer Banks are typically
conducive to exterior painting. Sure, we are occasionally slowed down by a
protracted cold spell, or even a dusting of snow, but for the most part we perform
exterior work year round.
So why wait to schedule your work? You can rest easy while the
painting and repair work of other rental properties reach a frenetic pace from
February to May. Some folks may find it difficult to have their work done by a
competent contractor, if they wait too long. There will always be people
working for beer money who may be able to help, but is that really a
homeowner’s ideal situation?
