If you are ever thinking about repainting your walls, but don't know how often you should do it. We suggest anywhere between three to five years. There are several things to keep in mind when you are thinking about rooms to be painted.

  • When was the last time it was painted?
  • What conditions are the walls in?
  • Is it an area that sees a lot of traffic?
  • What kind of paint was on there previously?
  • Is it getting harder and harder to clean?
