Working Smart in Summer
Kentucky summers mean heat and humidity, but they also offer opportunities for certain home improvements.
Best Summer Projects
#
Interior Painting
- Why summer: AC keeps humidity controlled
- Tip: Paint dries faster, schedule morning work
- Bonus: Windows open for ventilation on mild days
#
Flooring Installation
- Why summer: LVP and laminate need room temp acclimation
- Tip: Materials need 48 hours to adjust before install
- Bonus: Adhesives cure properly in warm temps

Projects to Avoid
#
Exterior Painting
- Heat causes paint to dry too fast
- Early/late day only or wait for fall
- Surface temps can exceed air temps significantly
#
Deck Staining

- Morning-only application
- Check product temperature limits
Attic Work
- Dangerously hot (130 F+)

Staying Comfortable
For occupied homes during summer projects:
- Schedule dusty work during cooler morning hours
- Keep HVAC running, change filters frequently
- Consider window units for work areas
- Stay hydrated (you and your contractor)
Planning Ahead
Use summer to plan fall exterior projects:
- Get quotes for painting, siding, roofing
- Order materials with long lead times
- Schedule contractors early
