Green Bay, WI

Painting season in Green Bay

A late-May-to-September exterior season, month by month.

Green Bay’s short painting season

Green Bay winters are long and cold. Exterior painting usually runs from about late May through September.

Most paints need air and surface temperatures above a set minimum, often around 50°F, and cool nights in May and September can cut a day short.

Freeze-thaw cycles open cracks in caulk and old paint. Spring inspections often find more prep than expected.

Painters fill June to August quickly. Book exterior work in late winter or early spring.

From October to April most crews move indoors.
