Factors That Affect Paint Lifespan

  • Weather Exposure — Rain, humidity, and UV rays shorten paint life.
  • Siding Material — Wood requires more frequent repainting than fiber cement.
  • Prep Work — Proper scraping, sanding, and priming extend durability.
  • Paint Quality — Premium paints last significantly longer.

Planning Ranges by Material

These broad estimates are starting points for a project discussion. Inspect the actual coating and follow the siding and paint manufacturers’ maintenance guidance; your home may need attention sooner or later.

  • Wood Siding: 5–8 years
  • Fiber Cement: 10–15 years
  • Stucco: 8–12 years
  • Brick: 12–20 years
