How often should you paint your house? It’s one of the most common questions we hear from homeowners. At Wilos Painting, we know your home is one of your biggest investments and keeping it looking its best isn’t just about appearances. A fresh coat of paint offers both curb appeal and protection, especially in the changing climate of Westchester and Putnam County.

So, how often should you repaint? The answer depends on your home’s exterior material, environmental conditions, and the quality of the last job. Here’s what to know.

How Often Should You Paint Your House Based on Surface Type

Homes exposed to harsh winters, direct sun, or salt air may require more frequent repainting to maintain both appearance and durability.

Signs It’s Time to Repaint

Not sure if it’s time to call in a pro? Look out for:

• Peeling, cracking, or bubbling paint
• Fading or uneven color
• Water stains or mildew
• Chipped trim or window frames
• Wood exposure or rot
• Planning to sell or boost home value

If you're seeing these signs and wondering how often you should paint your house, it's probably time to reach out for a professional estimate.

Interior vs. Exterior: What’s the Difference?

While exterior painting protects your home from the elements, interior painting is more about refreshing your space and keeping things clean and current.

We recommend:

• Living areas: every 5–7 years
• Kitchens and bathrooms: every 3–4 years
• Bedrooms and low-traffic areas: every 7–10 years
• Trim and baseboards: touch-ups every 2–4 years

No matter the surface, Wilos Painting offers full-service interior and exterior painting services designed to last and look great.

Why Timely Painting Matters

Beyond aesthetics, painting is one of the most effective ways to:

• Seal out moisture and prevent damage
• Protect wood, siding, and other materials
• Reduce long-term maintenance costs
• Increase your home’s value and market appeal
• Instantly refresh your property’s overall look

It’s one of the most affordable and high-ROI home improvement services available.
