On average, you should repaint the exterior of your home every:
- Every 4–6 years for timber surfaces (windows, fascia, fencing)
- Every 5–7 years for render, stucco, or pebbledash
- Every 6–10 years for PVC, aluminium, or modern masonry finishes
Exposure matters! Homes near the coast or in high rain zones (hello, Galway!) may need repainting more frequently due to salt air and moisture.
Look out for signs like fading, peeling, hairline cracks, or mould growth—those are your cues it's time for a refresh.
