Painting FAQs

How often should I repaint the exterior of my home?

Generally, the exterior of a home should be repainted every 5-10 years, depending on the type of siding, the quality of the previous paint job, climate, and other environmental factors. Wood surfaces tend to need repainting more frequently than other options like stucco or vinyl siding.

Can I paint my brick façade?
Painting bricks may seem like an easy way to update the look of your home, but paint may do more harm than good when it comes to your brick façade. Bricks are naturally porous, which means they absorb and release moisture. When bricks are painted, this natural breathability is compromised. Trapped moisture can lead to various issues, including mold growth, efflorescence (white, powdery deposits of water-soluble salts), or even spalling (where the brick surface fails and flakes off). If you’re considering changing the look of your brick, we recommend alternatives to paint, such as brick stain and limewash, that can offer a refreshed appearance while preserving its natural characteristics.
Can interior and exterior paints be used interchangeably?
No, interior and exterior paints are formulated differently. Exterior paints are designed to withstand external elements like UV rays, rain, and extreme temperatures, while interior paints are made to be more resistant to scrubbing and are less prone to fading. It’s essential to use the paint as intended to ensure longevity and proper protection.
Is it necessary to use a primer before painting?
Absolutely. If you’re painting a surface for the first time, changing from a dark to a light color, or using latex over oil-based paint – priming is a required step. Primers ensure better adhesion of paint, increase paint durability, and provide additional protection for the painted surface.
How do I choose the right paint finish for my project?
The choice of finish (matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, or high gloss) often depends on the room’s purpose and the desired aesthetic. For instance, high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms might benefit from a semi-gloss or satin finish due to their durability and ease of cleaning, while bedrooms and living rooms might look best with matte or eggshell finishes for a more subtle and sophisticated appearance. Our expert paint contractors can help to guide you in the right direction for your project. Always test colors and finishes to determine which look you prefer.
