General Lifespan
A quality interior paint job typically lasts 7–10 years before it looks tired or dated. High-traffic areas like hallways and kids' rooms may need refreshing sooner; low-use rooms like formal dining areas can go longer. Paint does not usually fail — it wears aesthetically.
What Shortens the Life
› Poor prep — paint over un-prepped surfaces scuffs and marks faster
› Wrong sheen in a high-traffic area — flat paint in a hallway shows wear quickly
› Moisture — bathroom and kitchen paint near water needs the right product
› Lower-quality paint — cheaper paint stains and burnishes more easily
What Extends the Life
Good prep, the right sheen for the room, and a quality product are the three factors. A washable satin in a hallway resists marks; a quality eggshell in a living room holds its color. We match the product and sheen to how the room is actually used.
