When was the last time your home got a fresh coat of paint? Whether you’re trying to protect your investment or just want a refreshed look, knowing when to repaint is key to maintaining the beauty and value of your home.
Why Repainting Matters
Paint isn’t just for aesthetics—it protects your surfaces from moisture, sun damage, and wear and tear. Over time, even high-quality paint begins to fade, crack, or peel, exposing your home to potential damage.
Interior Repainting: Room by Room Guide
-
Living Room & Dining Room – Every 5–7 years
These rooms get moderate use and don’t need repainting too often unless you’re changing styles. -
Bedrooms – Every 3–5 years
Kids’ rooms may need more frequent updates due to activity and changing tastes. -
Kitchen & Bathrooms – Every 3–4 years
High moisture and frequent cleaning wear down paint faster. Use high-durability finishes here. -
Hallways & Corridors – Every 2–3 years
These areas take a beating. Scuffs, scratches, and high traffic mean quicker touch-ups are needed.
Exterior Repainting: Timing by Surface Type
-
Stucco or Brick – Every 5–10 years
These surfaces are durable but still need proper sealing and weather protection. -
Wood Siding – Every 3–7 years
Paint wears faster on wood due to natural expansion and moisture exposure. -
Fiber Cement & Vinyl Siding – Every 10+ years
With the right paint and application, these materials last longer between repaints.
