Exterior paint in Fresno
Fresno's paint calendar has a gap people forget about: the fog. Tule fog, exceptionally thick, settles over California's Central Valley on many nights from late October through February. Those damp nights are hard on paint that's still curing, and winter days are short, so there's little drying time on either end.
Summer swings to the other extreme. A typical July day peaks around 98°F, and the whole year's rainfall comes in under 11 inches. Rain almost never stops a summer job here; the heat shapes the working day instead. The easy stretches sit in between: spring after the fog season ends, and early fall before it starts again.
The houses run both ways. A bit over four in ten Fresno-area homes date from before 1980, and close to three in ten are from this century. Older or newer, every one of them lives with the same fog calendar.
If you want your house painted before the holidays, aim to finish by late October, before the fog nights settle in.
