Why Arizona Homes Need Repainting More Often
Arizona’s extreme sun, heat, and monsoon rains are brutal on exterior paint. Unlike milder climates where paint lasts 10+ years, most Arizona homes need repainting every 5–7 years due to:
☀️ UV Damage – Fades colors and breaks down paint binders
🌡️ Thermal Expansion – Heat causes stucco and wood to crack
🌧️ Monsoon Moisture – Leads to peeling and blistering
“We’ve repainted homes in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Goodyear where cheap paint failed in just 3 years.”
Repainting Frequency by Material
| Material | Arizona Repaint Frequency | Signs It’s Time |
|---|---|---|
| Stucco | 5–7 years | Chalking, fading, hairline cracks |
| Wood Siding | 3–5 years | Peeling, warping, visible dry rot |
| Brick | 7–10 years | Mortar erosion, salt deposits |
| Metal (Gates/Fences) | 4–6 years | Rust, bubbling paint |
Pro Tip: “Lighter colors fade slower but show dirt more. Darker shades absorb heat, causing faster wear.”
5 Signs Your Arizona Home Needs Repainting
1️⃣ Chalking – Rub your hand on the wall. White powder = UV damage.
2️⃣ Fading – South-facing walls lose color fastest.
3️⃣ Cracking/Peeling – Especially around windows and trim.
4️⃣ Stains – Hard water spots or mold streaks.
5️⃣ HOA Notices – Many communities require upkeep.

FAQs
Q: Does stucco need to be repainted or just sealed?
A: “Sealing helps, but painted stucco lasts longer. We recommend elastomeric coatings for crack protection.”

A: “Phoenix homes need repainting 1–2 years sooner due to higher UV exposure.”
Q: Can I just paint over old paint?
A: “Only if it’s in good condition. We’ll tell you if stripping is needed.”
