When’s the Right Time for a Fresh Coat of Paint?

A fresh coat of paint can completely transform your home, but how do you know when it’s time to repaint? While some signs, like peeling paint, are obvious, others may not be as noticeable. Here’s how often you should repaint your home’s interior and exterior to keep it looking fresh and well-maintained.

How Often to Repaint the Exterior?

The exterior of your home is constantly exposed to sun, rain, humidity, and dirt, which means it requires more frequent painting than the interior.

• Wood siding: Every 3-7 years (depending on weather conditions).
• Stucco: Every 5-10 years.
• Brick (painted): Every 15-20 years.
• Vinyl or aluminum siding: Every 10-15 years.

If you notice peeling, fading, or cracks, it’s time to call a professional to repaint.

How Often to Repaint the Interior?

Interior walls don’t face extreme weather, but they do get dirty, scratched, and stained over time.

• Living rooms & dining rooms: Every 5-7 years (less if the paint is high-quality).
• Kitchens & bathrooms: Every 3-5 years (due to moisture and grease).
• Bedrooms: Every 5-10 years, unless there are stains or scuffs.
• Hallways & high-traffic areas: Every 2-4 years, since they get more wear and tear.
