How often are Residential Painting Services required?

As a homeowner, you want your home to be your safe haven; a place where you always feel comfortable and safe. You landscape and manicure your yard areas so you and your family can enjoy spending time outdoors. You choose a certain style of furniture that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. So, it makes sense that you would want the inside and outside of your home to look warm and inviting as well doesn’t’ it? Here at Right Track Painting & Sealcoating, we offer customizable residential painting options that can be tailored to your specific interior and exterior color schemes.

 

How often should You Paint the Exterior of Your Home?

 

Some painting contractors will recommend painting the exterior of your home every 4 to 6 years while others will tell you once every 10 to 15 years. In reality, it depends on 3 factors –

 

1) the materials used to build your home,
2) the quality of paint being used, and
3) where you live (probably the most important factor of the 3).

 

The exterior paint that is used will have different needs based on where you live. Here’s why. Coastal homes usually need more residential painting upkeep because they have to endure the salt sea air, sand, and the sun. In some areas, beach homes require a new coat of paint every 1 to 2 years. However, Massachusetts homes don’t have to contend with that type of environment (for the most part). These homes have to deal with a lot of humidity in the summer and brutal cold in the winter. As a result, the experts at Right Track Painting & Sealcoating recommend repainting every 5 to 7 years. And you don’t even have to do it on your own. We are here to do it all for you. Our team of experts offer superior services and go beyond your expectation of good workmanship.

 

How often should You Paint Your Home’s Interior?

 

Because the inside of your home isn’t exposed to the elements the way your exterior walls are, Interior residential painting isn’t needed as often. Instead, you have to deal with different time intervals for painting your interior walls based on the specific room. In other words, some walls will need to be painted less frequently than others which we’ve broken down as follows:

 

• Bathrooms and kitchens – every 3 to 4 years
• Bedrooms – every 2 to 3 years if you have children; less frequently otherwise
• Ceilings – up to 10 years
• Dining and living rooms – every 5 to 7 years
• Entryways and hallways – every 2 to 3 years
