How long does exterior paint last in Houston?

In Houston's heat, humidity, UV exposure, and storm cycles, cheap exterior paint jobs often fail in 2–4 years (peeling, fading, chalking). A properly prepped exterior paint job using premium Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore exterior coatings should last 8–12 years. Houston Superior Painting backs every exterior with a written 5-year warranty because our prep process is built specifically for Houston climate.

Why Painting Prices Vary in Houston

Paint Quality

We use premium Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore paints. Cheaper contractors use contractor-grade paints that fade faster and require repainting sooner.

Premium paint costs more but lasts 2-3x longer.

Prep Work

Proper preparation takes time: pressure washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, priming. Cheap quotes often skip these steps, leading to premature failure.

80% of paint job quality is in the prep.

Insurance & Warranty

Licensed, insured contractors with written warranties cost more but protect your investment. Uninsured painters put your home at risk.

Our 5-year warranty backs every project.
