There is no set factor on how often the outside of a home should be repainted. There are quite a couple of factors that determine when a house should be repainted.
The paint plats a major role in the protection of the exterior of the home. Paint that is cracked, chipping or bubbling could even be an underlying problem with the home’s exterior. 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.
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.
We all know the saying “you get what you pay for”, this holds true with exterior house paint. Most people do not actually the beating the paint can go throughout the year, not add that up over time. First off, UV rays pelt the house nearly year round. Our Connecticut winters are rough also with the temperature changes at certain times.
This depends on two major factors. We have already talked about the quality of the paint, but is also matters what the house is constructed of.
Wood siding should be painted around every four years. Stucco around five years. Brick, when painted, can last 15-20 years. Now remember these are only guidelines on how long your paint should last.
