Question 1

How often should a house be painted?

Accepted Answer

Interior walls typically need repainting every 5 to 10 years depending on wear. Exterior paint lasts 5 to 10 years depending on climate, sun exposure, surface material, and paint quality. High-traffic areas and bathrooms may need more frequent attention.

Question 2

How long does it take to paint a house interior?

Accepted Answer

A typical 2,000 square foot home interior takes 3 to 5 days for a professional crew of 2 to 3 painters. This includes preparation, priming where needed, two coats of paint, and cleanup. Homes with extensive trim, high ceilings, or wallpaper removal require additional time.

Question 3

Should I paint or stain my deck?

Accepted Answer

Stain penetrates the wood grain and allows the natural texture to show through while providing UV and moisture protection. Paint sits on top of the wood, providing more color options and a more uniform appearance but can peel and chip over time. Semi-transparent stains are typically recommended for new decks.

Question 4

What is the best exterior paint?

Accepted Answer

High-quality 100 percent acrylic latex paints from premium brands offer the best durability, color retention, and adhesion for most exterior surfaces. Look for products with built-in mildew resistance, UV protection, and flexibility to resist cracking in temperature extremes.

Question 5

Do painters need to be licensed?

Accepted Answer

Licensing requirements vary by state. Many states require painting contractors to hold a contractor license for projects above a certain dollar threshold. EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) certification is federally required for any work disturbing lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes.
