Growing in MN and having Stucco homes most of my life, we never painted our stucco and it never needed it.

So I guess what I am asking is: Do people paint their block and stucco homes every 3-5 years and why? Other than to change the color of course...

Mahalo!
We’ve been here 12 years and just repainted a few months ago but my sister had to have theirs painted after 6. In the past we just had it power washed to remove the mildew every couple of years. if it still looks good no need to paint in my opinion but I’m not an expert just sharing our experience.
