Maintaining your home in San Mateo can leave many home owners at a loss. If you\u2019re asking how often you should paint your house in California – you\u2019re not alone. Your home\u2019s exterior condition begins with the paint. The coating has to stand up to weather, pests and more.<\/p>\n
Google searches and professionals will give you any range of time frames from a few years to a couple decades. With that big of a range, let\u2019s look specifically at your home and what to look for in paint failure.<\/p>\n
Depending on where you live within our area and the exterior paint that was last put on your home, most home exterior coatings can last from 3-7 years. Here in California, we suggest most homeowners at least inspect their paint every 5 years or so.<\/p>\n
If you live closer to the coast, salty breezes, intense sun and ocean front elements can deteriorate your paint more quickly. For these reasons, it\u2019s best to check your home every 3 years or so.<\/p>\n
More inland homes will have a better time dealing with the environment without the harsh sea and air of the ocean. Even so, the California sun is strong and can mean more often repainting jobs.<\/p>\n
Substrates can also make a difference as well as damage. Keeping a vigilant eye on the status of your home will allow you to head off costly repairs before they turn into bigger problems. Annual exterior inspections will allow you to stay ahead of any issues.<\/p>\n
