How often should I repaint my home’s interior and exterior?
Short Answer
The lifespan of a paint job depends on factors like the type of paint, climate conditions, and room usage.
Long Answer
The frequency of repainting depends on various factors. Interior walls generally need a fresh coat every 5-7 years, though high-traffic areas like kitchens and hallways may require repainting sooner. Bathrooms and kitchens, exposed to moisture and heat, may need touch-ups every 3-5 years. Exterior paint lasts 5-10 years, depending on weather exposure, sun damage, and the quality of the previous paint job. Regular maintenance, such as washing walls and touching up minor chips, can extend the lifespan of your paintwork.
