SPRING

Late February through May is the heaviest booking pressure of the year. Pine-pollen-coat lift drives the surge. Five-day workweeks and extended schedules during the peak three-week window late March through mid-April in the southern half. Pre-Easter residential rush concentrated.

SUMMER

Gulf Coast operates on constrained-summer schedule because of humidity and heat. Inland Mississippi production rates drop measurably July-August. Practical high-production windows are April-June and September-October across the state — same pattern Cal Hatcher documents for Memphis.

FALL

September through November is the cleanest production stretch statewide. Gulf Coast workable through December most years.

WINTER

Gulf Coast December-February exterior workable on most stock. Central Mississippi reduced exterior. Northern Mississippi exterior reduced January-February. Commercial interior work statewide is off-season backbone for inland operators.

WHAT GETS ON THE GLASS

What actually shows up on Gulfport glass

Gulf Coast salt-aerosol deposition

Hurricane-season residue events
JUNE THROUGH NOVEMBER

Salt-water spray events, biological-material deposition from tidal-surge exposure, wind-driven debris pattern. Percarbonate-prerinse-plus-citric protocol within the first two weeks after the event. Older deposits (more than 30 days post-event) may require oxalic-acid handling on the worst-affected properties. Continuous with Mobile Bay pattern.
