When buying a property, some individuals repaint it solely to change the colour, while others repaint it right before selling it to make it look better from the outside. However, if your home is stained, you should have it painted every 4 to 7 years and every 5 to 10 years. The impacts of salt air on homes along the shoreline cause painting to be required more frequently. The amount of previous prep work (sanding, scraping), as well as the calibre of the paint used, can affect how long your present paint job will endure. Peeling could be brought on by indoor moisture if your home is poorly insulated and has a poor moisture barrier. Your paint work will suffer if you have leaking gutters or if the caulking around your pipes is splitting and cracking. If the paint’s weather resistance is starting to deteriorate, siding may shrink, fracture, or start to cup, and nails may burst. Stain makes it possible to view the wood’s drying out process. Paint that is exposed to direct sunlight may fade or become chalky. Low-quality paint with little pigment can start to take on multiple colours with time and exposure to the sun. If stucco isn’t painted every 5-7 years, it can start to crack and even come off the home in parts. Similar to changing the oil in your automobile, many people develop a pattern of painting their homes every 5-7 years in an effort to stop damage from occurring in the first place.
