Living in Florida has its perks—beaches, sunshine, and palm trees—but it also brings some brutal wear and tear on your home’s exterior. So how often should you repaint your house in Vero Beach, Port St. Lucie, or nearby coastal areas? Let’s break it down.

 

Florida’s Climate is Tough on Paint

The mix of intense UV rays, salt air, humidity, and afternoon thunderstorms means your home’s exterior takes a daily beating. Over time, paint can become:

• Chalky

• Faded

• Cracked or peeling

• Stained by mildew or algae

How Often Should You Repaint?

For homes along the Treasure Coast, here’s a general timeline:

• Stucco & Cement Siding: Every 7–10 years

• Wood Siding: Every 4–7 years

• Metal Surfaces (like roofs or trim): Every 10–15 years (with proper coating)

• Painted Brick or Concrete Block: Every 10 years

At Reel Painters LLC, we use high-quality, UV-resistant exterior paints that are specially formulated for Florida homes—lasting 10 to 15 years when properly applied.

Signs It’s Time to Repaint

You don’t always have to wait until it’s obvious. Look for:

• Fading or dull appearance

• Peeling or bubbling paint

• Bare patches or exposed surfaces

• Mold or mildew growth

• Cracks around windows or doors

Why Repainting Matters

Repainting your home’s exterior doesn’t just boost curb appeal—it also:

• Protects your structure from moisture and sun damage

• Adds value to your property

• Keeps HOA off your back (you know how they are!)

• Gives you the chance to update colors and modernize your look
