Trust me, I have had this problem in the past and the only way for me to fix it was to completely repaint my whole house.

So true. Take a look at some houses where touch up paint on a wall was done and it looks bad and does not match original color...all streaks.
Five years is about all the original builders paint will last. I used Steve Kling and high quality Sherwin Williams satin paint was used. What a difference - he is a slighthly higher than others but fixtures get painted and new weatherstripping and threshold on front door and garage installed. In addition there is a lifetime warranty and the Sherwin Williams rep has to inspect and sign off on the completed job
