How long does exterior painting last?
Most exterior house painting projects take between 3 and 7 days, depending on home size, weather conditions, and the amount of preparation required. Larger homes or projects involving extensive scraping, repairs, or multiple colors may take longer.
How often should a house exterior be painted?
Most homes need exterior repainting every 7 to 10 years. The exact timeline depends on siding material, sun exposure, climate conditions, and the quality of the previous paint job. Proper preparation and high-quality paint can extend the life of an exterior finish.
What preparation is required before exterior painting?
Exterior painting preparation typically includes cleaning the surfaces, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps, and priming bare or repaired sections. Proper preparation is essential for paint adhesion and long-term durability.
​
Most exterior repaints begin with a pressure wash of the to-be painted surfaces.
What type of paint is best for exterior house painting?
The best exterior house paint depends on the surface material and exposure to weather. High-quality exterior paints are designed to resist moisture, UV damage, and temperature changes. A professional painter selects products based on durability, adhesion, and long-term performance.​
