Interior/Exterior Painting FAQs
When your home’s exterior paint starts to fade is the best time to repaint. A typical paint job should last 5 to 10 years with many external contributing factors, varying the painting time frame. Depending on where you live, the climate, humidity, and weather conditions also affect the duration of your home paint job.
It is time to repaint, depending on the peeling and cracking paint severity. The longer paint is left to peel and crack the more chances the unpainted wood may deteriorate and need replacing. Most damage is hidden from view behind the lost paint and continues to worsen with the length of time it is left untreated.
Usually one coat of paint is sufficient. Applying several coats of paint is not necessary, as paint layers do build up and over applying can cause cracking and peeling. Color changing is usually why you would need 2 coats of paint, changing to a light or darker color needs more coats for coverage only.

The answer is a decisive "it depends." A small crack or minor damage such as "nail pops" -- meaning nail heads that have pulled away from the wall studs and are popping through the drywall -- is fast and simple to repair. In the case of a large hole or a serious problem like heavy mold infestation, where the spores may have spread throughout the drywall, replacement is usually the best option.
