Interior vs. Exterior Painting in Louisiana's Climate

Exterior paint here battles intense sun, rain, and humidity, so surface prep, quality paint, and proper timing (avoiding rainy, ultra-humid days) are critical for a lasting finish.

Overview

Exterior paint here battles intense sun, rain, and humidity, so surface prep, quality paint, and proper timing (avoiding rainy, ultra-humid days) are critical for a lasting finish.

What's involved

Interior painting is less weather-dependent but still benefits from controlling humidity during dry times so coats cure properly.

Key takeaways

  • Time exterior work around weather and humidity
  • Prep is everything for lasting exterior paint
  • Control indoor humidity for proper curing
