Interior walls need painting every three to seven years on average, depending on the room type, traffic and condition, and previous paint job. Ceilings need painting every 7 to 10 years, and baseboards and trim need repainting every 2 to 4 years.
Signs interior walls need painting:
- Paint is peeling, flaking, bubbling, cracking, faded, or chalky
- There are stains and mold on the walls
- The walls are damaged
- The last paint job was longer than 7 years ago
- You're tired of the current color
- You're selling the home and want to increase the appeal
