HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU PAINT THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR HOUSE?

The frequency of exterior painting depends on the type of siding on your home, how much harsh sun exposure the house gets, and how close trees are to the house. Generally speaking, homes with wood or masonite siding need to be repainted every 7 to 15 years while stucco or brick walls can last up to 20 years before requiring a new coat.

Sun exposure also plays an important role, on sides of the house with intense sun exposure, the paint may fade quickly and require frequent touch-ups or a full repaint more often than in homes located in shaded locations with less direct sunlight. Alternatively, heavily shaded sides of the house tend to stay wet longer and can lead to water-damaged siding.

Your maintenance habits and scheduled self-inspections also play an important role in how long your last paint job will hold up. Routine cleaning helps remove dirt and make your home shine like the day it was painted. More importantly, cleaning will reveal small problems that are easy to fix by yourself. Cracked caulk, soft spots, and chipped paint can be easily touched up if caught early. We recommend an annual cleaning as a matter of routine but if you don't care to clean your home's exterior, schedule a few hours on a weekend to walk around and take a serious look for tell-tale signs of wear and tear. Look for cracked caulk at the joints and soft spots around your soffits and fascia. Check your chimney siding near the gutters for water damage, as well as your door jambs for peeling paint.

If you find yourself touching up chipped or faded areas more frequently that could be a sign that it’s time for a full repaint sooner than anticipated regardless of how old your previous paint job is.
