How Often Should You Repaint Your Home?

One of the most common questions we get from Richmond homeowners is, “How often should I repaint?” The answer depends on your home’s age, condition, materials, and where the paint is applied.

Interior Painting Timeline:

• Living Rooms & Bedrooms: Every 5–7 years
• Kitchens & Bathrooms: Every 3–5 years (moisture and grease wear down paint faster)
• Trim & Doors: Every 2–4 years due to frequent contact
• Ceilings: Every 10 years or as needed

Exterior Painting Timeline (Richmond climate):

• Wood Siding: Every 5–7 years
• Stucco or Fiber Cement: Every 7–10 years
• Painted Brick: Every 10–15 years
• Exterior Trim & Doors: Every 3–5 years

Signs It’s Time:

• Fading or chalky finish
• Peeling or bubbling paint
• Visible cracks or rot
• Mold or mildew
• You simply want a fresh look!
