What Type of Exterior Paint Works Best in North Texas?

North Texas demands paint that can withstand extreme UV exposure (200+ sunny days per year), temperature swings from 20 degrees in winter to 110 degrees in summer, hail impacts, and occasional severe wind-driven rain. We use 100% acrylic latex paint with built-in UV inhibitors for all exterior projects. Sherwin-Williams Duration and Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior are our go-to products because they maintain color integrity and adhesion for 10-15 years in Texas conditions versus 5-7 years for budget paints. For south and west-facing walls that take the worst sun exposure, we apply an extra coat and use lighter colors that reflect heat and resist fading.

When Is the Best Time to Paint a House in DFW?

The ideal painting seasons in DFW are spring (March through May) and fall (September through November) when temperatures stay between 50 and 85 degrees with low humidity. Exterior paint needs temperatures above 50 degrees for proper curing and below 90 degrees to prevent drying too fast (which causes brush marks and poor adhesion). Summer painting is possible in DFW but requires early morning starts (6 AM crews) and working in shade as it moves around the house. We avoid painting during active rain or when rain is forecast within 4 hours of application. Schedule your free painting estimate by calling 3:16 Roofing at (817) 402-7663.
