How often should I repaint my home in Tucson?

Due to Tucson’s intense sun and heat, most exterior paint jobs last 5–6 years. ​

In Southern Arizona, we recommend:

    • Sherwin Williams premium paint and primer in one allows you to achieve stunning exterior results that stand the test of time in fewer coats. 
    • Offers premium performance that stands the test of time, coupled with exceptional beauty and excellent application. 
    • Offers resistance to blistering, peeling, fading and dirt pickup, as well as a mildew-resistant coating. 
    • Self-priming with a smooth, uniform appearance. 
    • Meets the most stringent VOC regulations and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
