Painting season in Jackson

Heat, humidity and the best months for exteriors.

Heat, humidity and storms

Jackson summers are long, hot and humid, and thunderstorms are common. Painters often start early and need dry surfaces and time before rain or dew.

Spring and fall are usually the easiest times for exteriors. Winters are mild, but cold, damp mornings can slow drying.

Mildew grows quickly on shaded walls and porch ceilings, so cleaning is part of most exterior jobs.
