Any paint job, no matter how big or small requires some prep work before the actual painting can begin. This is even more true when painting the exterior of a house. First, all loose paint needs to be scraped off and any cracks or holes need to be filled. Once the surface is smooth, it needs to be primed. This step is crucial as it helps the paint to better adhere to the surface and provides a more even finish. Once the primer is dry, it's finally time to start painting. Depending on the size of the house and the number of painters working, it can take anywhere from a few days to a week to paint the entire exterior. However, weather conditions can also play a role in how long it takes to paint a house. 

It is important to allow at least two or three days for the paint fumes and drying time.

Spring. If the temperature is mild but not too hot outside then now would be an excellent time to do some painting!

The best wind speed for painting is anything under 8 mph. This means that you will be able to stay on your ladder and finish the job without being blown off!

You should always wait at least three days before painting exterior surfaces like wood or brick. These materials take longer to fully dry and it's not a good idea if they're still wet when you paint them with brush strokes!

It is not recommended you paint the exterior of your house in the rain, as the paint will wash away. The interior surfaces of your house can be painted when it is raining outside as long you make sure that any rain does not enter through open windows or screens.
