Repainting your home’s exterior is usually necessary when you start to notice the paint fading, cracking or has damage. On average, a paint job can last 10 years, although this can vary depending on various factors such as your location, climate, humidity, and weather conditions. More obvious signs that it’s time for a repaint include small cracks, flaking, and peeling paint. Ignoring these issues can lead to more significant problems, such as damage to the wood and potentially more extensive repairs. If you’re unsure about the condition of your home’s exterior paint, consulting with a professional painter can help assess your needs.
