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
