How Often Should You Repaint Your Home?

Repainting your home helps protect surfaces, maintain your property's appearance and prevent long-term damage. How often you should repaint depends on the room, surface, paint quality and everyday wear and tear.

How Often Should Interior Walls Be Painted?

Most interior walls benefit from repainting every 5–7 years, although high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens and children's bedrooms may require decorating more frequently.

How Often Should Exterior Surfaces Be Painted?

Exterior walls, masonry and woodwork are exposed to changing weather conditions and typically require repainting every 5–10 years, depending on the surface and paint system used.

Signs It's Time to Repaint

Peeling paint, fading colours, stains, cracks, scuff marks and damaged surfaces are all signs that it's time to refresh your property's decoration.
