Paint acts as a barrier to protect the exterior materials from the elements. When the paint starts to break down \u2013 it can expose the underlying surface to a harsh environment. Without paint as a protectant, your home\u2019s exterior can be subject things like to wood rot, water damage, insects like termites, and sun damage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Depending on what type of material your home is comprised of you\u2019ll want to follow these timing guides to help you decide when it\u2019s time to repaint:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cement fiberboard siding 10-15 years<\/li>\n<li>Wood siding 3 to 7 years<\/li>\n<li>Aluminum siding every 10-15 years unless under intense sunlight then every 5 years.<\/li>\n<li>Stucco should be repainted every 5 to 6 years<\/li>\n<li>Brick can be repainted every 15-20 years<\/li>\n<li>Vinyl can be repainted with aluminum siding however it can also be replaced after 2-30 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s been less than these suggested time frames and your house still needs a refresh, you might consider doing a light power wash on it instead. This will remove dirt and grime or anything else that might deteriorate the paint. It\u2019s also an easy way to keep your home looking fresh in between repaintings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to keep up with your exterior paint because it\u2019s the first thing that guests or potential buyers see. You also want to make sure that the paint barrier is at its best to protect your home from the elements. By following this list, now you know the problem areas to be aware of. You can also reference the timelines if it\u2019s been a while since you\u2019ve painted.
