Other times, it\u2019s not quite as clear. Exterior painting is not an easy or cheap job, so you\u2019re probably not itching to take it on if it\u2019s not necessary. Being that paint is the first line of defense against the elements, protecting your home is important. Here are some clues if you\u2019re asking how often I should paint your home exterior.<\/p>\n<h2>How long will my exterior paint last?<\/h2>\n<p>As previously mentioned, there are multiple factors that will influence how long your paint will last. However, many homes can expect their paint to last around 10 years when they work with an experienced and professional painting contractor.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main reasons there is no set answer for how often you should paint your home exterior is because there are so many types of home materials. Within these materials, though, there are some rough timelines that you can attempt to follow. Remember that these are just straight estimates based on the material alone. Other factors will be playing a larger part in when it is time to paint your home exterior.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Stucco: 5-6 years<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Painted Brick: 15-20 years<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Painted Wood Siding: 3-7 years<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Aluminum Siding: 5-6 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Signs it is Time for a Paint Job<\/h2>\n<p>Instead of basing your decision off of how many years it has been since your last paint job, we recommend taking a close look at what the exterior of your home looks like. There are distinct signs to look for that indicate it is time for a new coat of paint.<\/p>\n<p>Common signs that your home could use a new exterior paint job include faded colors, chalky appearance, and peeling or chipping paint. The weather can be pretty harsh in a place like Missouri. Your paint may be more susceptible to peeling and chipping. If you notice any of these problems on your home exterior, it is important to get them taken care of as soon as possible. It may be an indicator of more severe damage under the surface.<\/p>\n<h1>Work with CertaPro Painters<\/h1>\n<p>CertaPro Painters\u00ae are local painters in the Lake Apopka area that know how to paint home exteriors that last.
