Exterior Painting FAQs - Everything You Need to Know

Most homes need exterior repainting every 5-10 years, depending on factors such as climate, sun exposure, and material type.

  • Wood siding: Every 3-7 years
  • Stucco: Every 5-10 years
  • Brick: Every 10-15 years (if painted)
  • Vinyl & Aluminum Siding: Every 10-15 years

Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your paint job, reducing the need for frequent repaints.

The best time for exterior painting is during mild temperatures and low humidity, typically in:
Spring (March–May)
Summer (June–August)
Early Fall (September–October)

Paint cures best when temperatures stay between 50°F and 85°F, avoiding extreme heat or freezing conditions.

The timeline depends on the size of the home, weather conditions, and prep work needed.

  • Small homes: 3-5 days
  • Medium-sized homes: 5-7 days
  • Large homes: 7+ days

Delays can occur due to rain, humidity, or extensive surface repairs, but a professional painting company like Paint Doctor will plan accordingly to minimize disruptions.

We recommend high-quality, weather-resistant Sherwin-Williams paints, which offer:

  • Acrylic latex formulas for durability and flexibility
  • Fade-resistant coatings that maintain vibrant colors
  • Mildew-resistant additives to prevent mold growth

Best Paint Options by Surface:
Wood: Acrylic latex or oil-based paint
Brick & Stucco: Masonry paint or breathable elastomeric coatings
Vinyl Siding: Vinyl-safe acrylic latex paint

This ensures optimal paint coverage and durability.

Yes, but proper preparation is essential. If the existing paint is peeling, flaking, or severely faded, we:
Scrape and sand down rough areas
Apply primer for better adhesion
Use high-quality paint for even coverage

Skipping these steps can lead to premature paint failure, which is why Paint Doctor ensures full surface prep before painting.

Yes! We provide minor exterior repairs before painting, including:

Inspect for cracks or peeling and touch up as needed
Trim trees & shrubs to prevent damage to painted surfaces
Repaint high-exposure areas (doors, trim, shutters) every few years

Proper maintenance extends the life of your exterior paint and keeps your home looking fresh.
