Some people say that you should paint the exterior of your home every 5 years. At the risk of decreasing the number of new customers who call us, we think that a paint job that was properly surface prepped will probably last longer than that. When we paint your house, we try to make it last, so you might not call us too soon, but when it’s time to call a home painter in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, and Napa County again, you will call us again because you were happy with how long your last paint job lasted.
How Long Interior and Exterior Paint Jobs Last
Exterior paint jobs can last 10 years or more. It’s all about the prep. If you want your house to have that “just painted” look all the time, or if you decide you like another color scheme better, then of course you can get it painted as often as you like. Keep in mind that the quality of paint you choose will affect how long it looks good. Extreme weather can also be a factor.
Interior paint should definitely last 10 years. The problem with interior paint is not usually how long it lasts but how quickly it gets dings and smudges. These can be taken care of with touch-ups and cleaning, but at some point it becomes easier just to repaint, and many people want a change of scenery before 10 years is up, anyway.
A good home painter in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, and Napa County can help you with exterior and interior jobs big and small. They’ll prep your home’s surfaces right, and since our weather here is usually not too extreme, the paint should last you a good long time. By the time you need new paint, you’ll be ready for a new color anyway.
