Protect Your Property, Impress Customers, and Extend the Life of Your Investment
Your commercial property says a lot about your business—before a client even walks through the door. A clean, well-maintained exterior and interior not only helps you stand out, but it also plays a role in how customers, employees, and even inspectors perceive your brand.
At Michael’s Painting, we’ve helped business owners across Murfreesboro, Columbia, Spring Hill, and throughout Middle Tennessee keep their commercial buildings in top shape. One of the most common questions we’re asked is:
“How often should I repaint my building?”
Here’s what you need to know to keep your property looking professional and protected—inside and out.
Exterior: Every 5–7 Years (Depending on Material and Exposure)
Middle Tennessee weather can be tough on paint. Between hot summers, heavy rain, and humidity, your building’s exterior is constantly exposed to elements that cause fading, peeling, and mildew.
General guidelines for exteriors:
-
Stucco and EIFS: every 5–6 years
-
Wood siding or trim: every 3–5 years
-
Brick (painted): every 7–10 years
-
Fiber cement: every 8–10 years
-
Metal siding: every 5–7 years
Location matters too. Buildings that face intense sun, are near high-traffic roads, or sit under tree cover may need more frequent repainting.
Interior: Every 3–7 Years (Depending on Traffic and Use)
Interior repainting isn’t just about looks—it’s also about hygiene, maintenance, and maintaining a positive work environment.
Consider repainting sooner if:
-
You own a retail store, restaurant, or medical facility with high foot traffic
-
Your waiting room, lobby, or restroom walls show scuffs, stains, or peeling
-
You’ve recently rebranded, remodeled, or had a change in tenant usage
-
It’s been more than 5 years since your last professional repaint
Other Signs It’s Time to Repaint:
-
Fading or outdated colors
-
Visible wear and tear or damage
-
Mold or mildew buildup on exterior walls
-
A shift in branding, color schemes, or business ownership
-
Preparing for inspections, grand openings, or lease renewals
