Many homeowners wait until they see signs of deterioration before they decide to paint their house. But if you wait until you see obvious signs of serious peeling and cracking, you maybe have already waited too long.
Paint gets damaged by the elements with every passing year causing it to crack. This often results in moisture, which can be disastrous for the exterior paint.
Since every home is different, there’s no hard and fast timeline for painting all. Most experts feel that you’ll need to paint every five to ten years, depending on the climate and weather in your area and the quality of the previous paint job.
Dimensional Pro wants to point out that a big determining factor is the surface of the house. They provide the following guidelines:
- Wood siding needs to be painted as frequently as every three to seven years. Four years, if it’s stained.
- Aluminum siding usually needs some attention – about five years.
- For Stucco, you’re looking at about every five to six years.
- If you’re lucky enough to have one of the newer types of siding materials, you’ll be touching up far less often.
- Cement fiberboard siding can go 10-15 years before repainting.
- If brick is not painted, it only needs an occasional cleaning. If it is painted, it can last 15-20 years.
But proper maintenance is just one reason to paint your house.
