The Texas Climate Is Tough on Paint
Table of Contents
If you live in Plano, Dallas, or anywhere in North Texas, your home’s exterior endures constant exposure to intense sun, humidity, wind, and seasonal storms. Over time, this harsh environment causes paint to fade, peel, and crack — leaving your home vulnerable to moisture and damage.
A fresh coat of paint isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s an important part of protecting your siding, wood, and trim from the Texas elements.
But how often should you repaint your home in Texas? Let’s break it down.
1. The Average Exterior Repaint Timeline in Texas
In most cases, homeowners in Texas should repaint their home’s exterior every 5 to 7 years. However, the right schedule depends on:
- Type of siding: Wood may need repainting every 3–5 years, while brick or fiber cement can last 10+ years.
- Quality of previous paint job: Premium paints and proper surface prep extend lifespan.
- Sun exposure: South- and west-facing walls fade faster due to constant UV rays.
- Moisture levels: Areas near trees or sprinklers often show wear sooner.
Regular inspections can help you catch early signs of deterioration — and avoid costly repairs down the road.
2. Signs It’s Time to Repaint Your Home’s Exterior
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call Emerson Pro Services for a professional assessment:
- Peeling, cracking, or bubbling paint
- Faded or chalky color
- Exposed wood or siding
- Mold, mildew, or water stains
- Warping or rotting trim
Even if your home doesn’t look “bad,” these subtle issues indicate that your paint is no longer providing full protection.
3. Why Professional Painting Matters

4. Protect Your Investment with Routine Maintenance
Between full repaint cycles, homeowners can extend the life of their paint with simple maintenance steps:
- Power wash your siding annually to remove dirt and mildew.
- Trim back vegetation near walls and gutters.
- Touch up high-traffic or sun-exposed areas as needed.
