Painless Painting: When You Should Repaint Your Home with Newport Painters

Painting your home can be a pain, both literally and figuratively—just think of the mess of paint chips and dust! But whether you’re looking to refresh your house’s interior or its exterior, repainting your home with Newport Painters is a great way to give it a much-needed makeover.

A general rule of thumb for interior painting is to repaint your home’s walls every five to seven years. This number depends on how much traffic and wear-and-tear the walls experience; sunny rooms that get a lot of use may need repainting more often than darker, less frequented areas. Regardless, every few years can help keep fading and cracking in check, so you don’t have to worry about patching up or completely redoing any surfaces.

Your house’s exterior should be repainted more frequently than the interior—every three to five years—as it’s exposed to harsher elements like rain, wind, and sunlight. It’s also important to keep an eye on exterior paint for signs of erosion or fading; if your home is looking a bit worse for wear, it may be time to give it a new coat of paint. Additionally, when choosing the type of paint you’ll use on your house’s exterior, select one that’s specifically designed to withstand weathering and resist fading due to sun exposure.

Painting the outside of your home can seem daunting at first—but with the right supplies and preparation, it doesn’t have to be! With these tips in mind and a little bit of help from Newport Painters, you can ensure your house looks as good as new for years to come.
