Paint doesn’t last forever, and signs of aging paint can appear long before you expect. Generally, interiors need repainting every 5–7 years, depending on wear and tear. High-traffic areas—like kitchens, hallways, and kids’ rooms—may need refreshes every 3–4 years.

Exteriors face harsher conditions. Wood siding typically needs repainting every 5–7 years, stucco every 7–10 years, and brick every 15–20 years. Sun exposure, weather, and maintenance habits can shorten or extend these timelines.

If you notice peeling, fading, cracking, or water stains, it’s time to schedule an inspection. A fresh coat of paint doesn’t just improve appearance—it protects your home’s structure.
