How Often Should You Repaint Your Home's Exterior?

June 2026 · 4 min read

A fresh, well-applied exterior protects your home and boosts curb appeal. Here's how to know when it's time and how to make it last.

Typical repaint intervals

It varies by surface and climate, but as a general guide:

  • Wood siding: roughly every 5-7 years
  • Stucco: about 5-10 years
  • Fiber cement: 10-15 years
  • Trim and doors: often sooner

Signs it's time

  • Fading, chalking or peeling
  • Cracking or bare spots
  • Wood that feels soft or shows moisture
  • A dated or mismatched look

Why prep matters most

Lasting results come from thorough cleaning, scraping and priming — not just the paint itself. Skipping prep is the top reason paint fails early.

Protection and value

Beyond looks, exterior paint shields siding from moisture and sun, helping prevent costly damage while improving curb appeal.
