How often you should paint your home answer is dependent on the state your home is in now. You must get the exterior of your home substrates protected as soon as possible if it is not already being protected by a good paint coating. Do you see wood/siding damage and faded paint? I strongly urge you to get the damaged wood and siding replaced. Then, with a very good quality paint get the coverage needed to protect the substrate for your home.
