Why Fall Is the Best Season for Exterior Painting in Utah

Four cans of paint are stacked on top of each other on a tiled floor.
If you’re thinking about painting the exterior of your home in Salt Lake City or nearby areas like Draper, South Jordan, or West Valley, timing is everything. And fall? It’s the perfect season.

In this blog, we’ll explain exactly why fall is the ideal time for your next exterior painting project in Utah — and how United Brothers Remodeling ensures flawless, long-lasting results.

Why Timing Matters for Exterior Painting
Utah’s unique climate can have a big impact on your paint job.
Too hot and paint dries too fast.
Too cold or wet and it won’t cure properly.

That’s why choosing the right season matters just as much as choosing the right contractor.

1. Mild Temperatures Mean Better Paint Adhesion
Paint performs best in temps between 50°F and 85°F. In Utah, fall delivers this sweet spot consistently — especially in:

Salt Lake City

Taylorsville

Murray

South Jordan

West Jordan

Fall avoids the extreme summer highs and unpredictable spring showers that can ruin a paint job.

2. Less Humidity Improves Dry Time
Humidity during Utah summers can cause:

Bubbling

Peeling

Mold or mildew under the paint

Fall’s drier air helps paint cure evenly and quickly, giving your home a smooth, durable finish.

3. Better Weather Forecasting = Fewer Surprises
Fall in Utah offers more stable weather, which makes scheduling your project a lot easier and more accurate — fewer delays due to rain or high winds.

4. No Sprinklers or Active Landscaping
Unlike spring or summer, fall means:

Dry ground

Fewer obstacles near your home's perimeter

Cleaner surfaces to paint

That means easier setup and cleaner paint adhesion for our crew.

5. Protect Your Home Before Winter Hits
A fresh coat of paint in fall helps seal and protect your home from:

Snow

Ice

Salt

Freezing rain

Why wait for spring and risk damage?

Common Exterior Painting Issues (and Why Fall Fixes Them)
Problem Cause Fall Fixes It Because…

Uneven Finish Fast drying in high heat Fall drying is slower and even
