Give your house a new lease of life by repainting it over the summer months, as this is the ideal time to embark on big paint jobs.

The reason for this is that the higher temperatures mean paint can dry more quickly, enabling homeowners to work their way through their redecorating projects at speed.

Better Homes & Gardens states: “The warm weather lets the paint cure properly and ensures that it will last longer.”

So, homeowners who have been meaning to give some walls a touch-up or repaint rooms entirely should start flicking through colour charts, as there might be a limited window to get all the painting tasks done before summer is over.

When it comes to choosing paint, the publication suggested opting for slightly more expensive brands, as these typically provide a better covering and last longer. Therefore, they are more cost-effective in the long run.

Other jobs to undertake during the warmer months tend to focus on the garden, as this enables homeowners to make the most of the sunshine and enjoy being outside while still getting on with DIY. Therefore, it might be worth considering clearing gutters, pressure-washing outdoor areas, refinishing the decking, or updating the landscaping.

According to Rated People’s Home Improvement Trends Report 2022, homeowners typically plan to spend £4,743 on painting their house this year. It is also the most popular redecorating job, with 38 per cent of households intending to paint before 2023 rolls around.
