My house is three years old (I closed 01/24/05). Despite the several calls I've had from various services out there, urging me to hire them to repaint (one came only a couple of weeks after I actually moved in!), I do not intend to even consider outside painting until 2010 at the earliest. That'll be 5 years. Of course, I conduct my own careful surveillance now and then, but have seen no reason, so far, to even consider looking for a painter.
Barring severe storm damage or some other unexpected event, I actaully think I can probably go beyond my 2010 estimate!
