FAQS
How often should my house be painted?
The frequency of painting your house can vary based on several factors, including climate, the quality of the previous paint job, and the material of your siding. On average, it's recommended to paint your house every 5 to 10 years. However, wood siding may require painting every 3 to 7 years, while fiber cement typically needs a new coat every 10 to 15 years. Stucco should be painted approximately every 5 to 6 years.
How do I know if my home needs painting?
There are a few tell-tale signs that indicate it's time to repaint your home. If you notice the paint starting to crack, chip, or peel, it's a clear signal that a new coat is needed. Fading color, especially on the sides of your house that are most exposed to the sun, is another indicator. Also, if you find areas of wood or siding that are beginning to rot or show signs of damage, it's crucial to address these issues and repaint to protect your home's exterior.
How do I choose the right type of paint finish for different areas of my house?
The right type of paint finish depends on the area of the house and the level of durability and sheen you desire. For high-traffic areas or spaces prone to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms, semi-gloss or high-gloss finishes are ideal due to their ease of cleaning and moisture resistance. Living rooms and bedrooms often benefit from a matte or eggshell finish, providing a subtle and elegant look while hiding surface imperfections.
