The rainy season is arriving soon. While it is a time when concerns about leaks arise, many are unaware that it is one of the least suitable times for exterior wall painting.

Nuri-Kae, a site operated by Speee, Inc. for finding exterior wall painting companies, warns of construction risks during the rainy season—such as prolonged construction periods and increased living stress—and provides a simple 'Exterior Wall Degradation Self-Check' guide to help homeowners detect issues before they worsen.

◼️ Should You Avoid Painting During the Rainy Season?

Risks of Prolonged Construction Periods Exterior painting requires temperatures above 5°C, humidity below 85%, and no rain or snow. During the rainy season, interruptions and waiting for paint to dry in high humidity are common. A project that usually takes 7-10 days can easily extend to three weeks or a month.

Severe Living Stress Due to Prolonged Projects The entire house is covered in scaffolding and protective mesh sheets during the painting period, leading to several limitations: - Inability to open windows or ventilate - Inability to hang laundry outside - Long-term exposure to paint odors - Restricted access to the garden or balcony Living under these conditions for nearly a month can be a significant source of stress.

Avoid Rushed Construction—Inspect 'Now' and Plan for 'Autumn' Rather than rushing to contact a painter after the rain starts, it is crucial to perform a self-check before the rainy season begins to identify leak risks. If maintenance is needed, it is recommended to plan inquiries and gather quotes now, aiming for a project timeline after the rainy season or in early autumn.

◼️ Professional Tips: 6 Points for Pre-Rainy Season Self-Checks These are points to check by walking around your house. Please verify these before symptoms worsen due to the prolonged rain.

◼️ A Message from Nuri-Kae If you find concerns during your self-check, be cautious about signing immediate contracts with companies that visit your home, as predatory solicitation tends to increase before and after the rainy season. Use Nuri-Kae's free consultation desk and bulk quote services to compare opinions and quotes from multiple companies. Avoiding rainy season risks and planning a project timeline with a trusted professional during the best periods—like after the rainy season or in autumn—is the best way to prolong your home's life while keeping costs down.
