Hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms are the top three areas that will need the most maintenance. The walls in these spaces are prone to scuff marks, dents, and fingerprints that make the surface look dirty. Kitchens and bathrooms also have to deal with elements such as smoke, steam, and grease. To keep your best foot forward, we recommend painting these high-traffic areas every two to five years depending on use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Often Should You Paint Ceilings?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the opposite end of the use spectrum is ceilings. There typically isn\u2019t a lot of damage done to ceiling paint unless there are more significant problems going on in your home. Water damage and cigarette smoke are the most common reasons for ceiling paint damage. In this case, we recommend having a professional look into these problems as soon as possible. Otherwise, your ceiling can go on the way they are until you decide you\u2019d like otherwise. If you are already painting the walls in a room, consider looking up to make an impactful change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Often Should You Paint Baseboards and Trim?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baseboards and trims are a completely unique element of your house to deal with. However, like those high-traffic areas, baseboards and trims typically face a lot of damage. They often endure vacuums, foot traffic, and runaway toys. We recommend painting these surfaces every two years. More importantly, though, make sure that you are cleaning these areas. Failure to do so will result in quicker paint deterioration and avoidable damage will pile up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen to Your Gut<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How often you should paint the interior of your house is very individualized to each family. At the end of the day, trust your judgment in whether or not a room needs to be repainted. If there is a lot of wear and tear on the walls or the color just looks dull, then it\u2019s probably time for a repaint. You should also take into consideration how well the original paint job was done. If it was done professionally and the right steps were taken then it is likely to last longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interior Paint with CertaPro Painters\u00ae<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re unsure whether your home needs a new coat of paint right now, an expert may be able to help.
