Jan 09, 2022

When Should You Plan To Repaint Your House?

Your house is your kingdom, and your kingdom should never look plain and boring. It represents the people living inside of it, that's why it is important to always make it presentable and wonderful. You want to make that happen but you don't have any idea about it. Just relax and let Milwaukee House Painters do it for you. 

When is the right time to paint the outside of a house

Typically, the outside of a house should be painted every 5-10 years depending on the condition of it. Because there are times that even if it is already 5years, it still looks great and new.


Exterior painting of the house sometimes depends on the situation and decision of the owner. But one thing is for sure, it is okay to repaint your house more often compared to not doing so, and allowing it to ruin the whole exterior of the house.

Signs of when you need to repaint outside of your house

  • When it is already fading. It will decrease the value and beauty of the house. Because it will make it look pale and sad which will have an impact on those people who will see it. That's why it is important to make the outside of your house vibrant and wonderful. 

  • When it is already tearing and creating bubbles. If this is present in your exterior it just means that the paint is no longer attached to your house so it will just tear down and continue cracking which is not good to see and might have an effect to the overall look of it and to the repainting. 

  • When there are some parts with holes or cracks.  To make it look fine and complete you need to add paint on it, but sometimes it is not enough because you can still saw the discoloration or disconnection of those so repainting is needed.

  • When it is already painted for so many years. It doesn't need to experience any problems or issues before you change it. Sometimes it is good to try something new that can align to your goal or to your preference.

Factors that affect the paint of your house

The weather condition has a big role in the performance of your exterior paint. Too much sunlight exposure is not good because it will create cracks. And too much rain can make bubbles which will ruin it as well. But if your contractor can do the work correctly and properly then, there will be no problem at all. 

Different time to repaint different types of walls 

Not all outside of a house have the same time to be repainted. Because it will be based as well in the material used. Just like in woods, it is usually repainted after three years because there are times that it's color is already absorbed by the woods and becomes faded.
