As soon as you see paint cracks, flakes, and peels, it’s best to call a professional house painter immediately. These are some of the first signs of serious damage. If left untreated, they could lead to catastrophic consequences.  Also, if you notice signs of fading in your exterior and interior paint, consider residential painting services. In most cases, paint jobs last up to ten years, but climate, humidity, and natural calamities can affect this time frame.  Lastly, wood components usually need recoating once every five years, and shingles and sidings require maintenance every three years.
