How often does the exterior of the house require painting?

The frequency of painting the exterior of a house can vary depending on several factors, including the type of siding material, climate conditions, and the quality of the previous paint job. On average, most experts recommend repainting the exterior of a house every 5-10 years. However, some materials like wood siding may require more frequent painting, typically around every 3-7 years. Additionally, if the exterior paint begins to show signs of peeling, cracking, or fading, it may need to be repainted sooner to maintain the appearance and protect the underlying surfaces.
