These things happen not only because the paint might be old, but there can be a water damage problem. Even some roof leakage problems can cause this also.

Keep it Fresh

Every year there is a new set of colors that are all the rage. If you are one that likes to keep up with all of that, you might find yourself repainting your house more often. A more economical option would be just to update the trim colors if the house was painted a more of a neutral color.

Inferior Paints

First off, UV rays pelt the house nearly year round. Our Connecticut winters are rough also with the temperature changes at certain times.
