How often should I repaint my home?
How often you need to repaint depends on a variety of factors, including the materials of your home’s exterior, the type of paint used, weather exposure, and overall maintenance. As a general guideline:
Interior walls typically need repainting every 5–7 years.
Exterior surfaces usually benefit from a new coat every 7–10 years.
Homes in the Pacific Northwest may need more frequent repainting due to heavy rainfall and moisture exposure. Regular maintenance and touch-ups can help extend the life of your paint job and keep your home looking its best.

Very professional every step of the way. Getting an estimate was fast and easy. Then deciding on a start day that fit my schedule through to the end of painting, everyone kept in touch. No guessing or wondering. Painters were neat, did a great job, and cleaned up everything afterward. The process went really well. Would definitely recommend.
