Here is how often to repaint exterior siding, interior walls, trim, decks, and fences in our climate.","\u003Cp>One of the most common questions we get from Spokane homeowners is some version of \"how long should this paint job last?\" The honest answer is that it depends on the surface, the exposure, the prep work behind it, and the paint itself. A south-facing wall in full Spokane sun is on a different schedule than the trim around your front door, and both are on a different schedule than the interior hallway down the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Below are the questions we hear most often about repaint timing in our climate, with realistic ranges based on what we see across Spokane, Spokane Valley, Deer Park, Liberty Lake, Mead, and Colbert.

South and west exposures fade and chalk faster than north and east, so it is normal to see noticeable wear on those sides while the others still look acceptable. Aggressive sun, splash from sprinklers, and gutter overflow can shorten that range. Quality prep and premium acrylic on a properly primed substrate stretch it.",{"id":49,"question":50,"answer":51,"sort_order":52},"fq_repaint_2","How often should interior walls be repainted?","High-traffic areas like kitchens, hallways, and stairwells usually need repainting every 5 to 7 years. Living rooms and bedrooms can comfortably go 7 to 10 years if the paint is a quality eggshell or satin and the walls are not getting scuffed daily. Color updates often happen sooner than wear-driven repaints.",1,{"id":54,"question":55,"answer":56,"sort_order":57},"fq_repaint_3","How often should you repaint trim, doors, and railings?","Trim, doors, and railings typically need refreshing every 3 to 5 years. They take more abuse than the wall fields around them, and semi-gloss starts showing wear at the leading edges first. Front doors that face direct sun may need attention sooner than that.",2,{"id":59,"question":60,"answer":61,"sort_order":62},"fq_repaint_4","How often should a deck be re-stained or repainted?","Stained decks usually need a fresh coat every 2 to 3 years in our climate. Painted decks can stretch to 5 to 7 years if the prior coat is sound and the surface stays dry between snow seasons. Foot traffic patterns and gutter drainage onto the deck shorten both ranges.",3,{"id":64,"question":65,"answer":66,"sort_order":18},"fq_repaint_5","How often should fences be repainted in the Spokane area?","Painted cedar fences in the Spokane area typically need refreshing every 5 to 7 years. The tops of pickets and the south-facing side go first. Stained fences are usually on a 2 to 4 year cycle. Metal posts may need spot touch-up sooner if rust is showing through.",{"id":68,"question":69,"answer":70,"sort_order":71},"fq_repaint_6","What signs mean it is time to repaint?","The clearest signs are chalking (a white powder on your hand when you rub the siding), fading on south and west exposures, hairline cracking, peeling at trim and corners, and caulk that is split or pulled away from joints. If you are seeing two or more of these on the same elevation, you are due.",5,{"id":73,"question":74,"answer":75,"sort_order":76},"fq_repaint_7","What extends the life of an exterior paint job in Spokane?","Three things make the biggest difference: thorough prep before painting, premium acrylic paint applied at the right film thickness, and gutters that stay clear so water does not run down the siding.
