How Often Should You Repaint Your House: Quick Guide

The exterior of your house requires regular repainting to protect it from weather damage and maintain curb appeal. Wood siding needs repainting every 3–7 years, while stucco typically lasts 5–6 years. Painted brick surfaces can go 10–15 years before needing a refresh, and aluminum or vinyl siding holds up for about 5–10 years. The frequency depends on the material and exposure to harsh climates, which can cause paint to deteriorate faster.

For interiors, the repainting schedule varies by room usage. Living rooms can last 5–7 years, while kitchens and bathrooms, which face more moisture and heat, need repainting every 3–4 years. High-traffic areas like hallways and children’s rooms often require fresh paint every 2–3 years. Factors like climate, the quality of the previous paint job, and regular maintenance also affect how often repainting is needed. Watch for signs like cracking, peeling, fading colors, or mildew, as these indicate it’s time for a new coat of paint.
