GBlist: house painting



The older house painters out here on the East End of Long Island say that 5
years is normal between exterior paint jobs on houses. We are surrounded by
Long Island Sound to the north & Peconic Bay or the Atlantic Ocean on the
south - <5000 HDD & >1200 CDD.

I often see specific paint problems ... 2nd floor band joist areas ... above
shed roofs ... above & below bay windows ... kitchen & bathroom exterior
walls ... etc..

Would like to know what other regions experience between paint jobs - let's
assume 30 year old clapboard, probably not back primed ????

thanks,
