Paint needs dry surfaces and mild temperatures to cure well, and many exterior paints call for temperatures around 50 degrees or higher, so check the label. Pick a stretch of dry days, and avoid painting late in the day when dew can form on fresh paint. Good painters book up early, so ask for estimates in winter or early spring.

Yes. In Michigan, painting and decorating on a residential structure is a licensed trade. Contractors need a residential builder or maintenance and alteration license from LARA for jobs over $600. Ask for the license number before you sign, and check that the name on the license matches the company on your contract.
