Standard Repainting
If properly painted, fiber cement siding may hold its new finish between 7 to 15 years. Unless extenuating circumstances hasten the rate of deterioration, you can expect an attractive finish that should retain its beauty for approximately a decade.
Likewise, people ask, does Hardie board need to be painted?
Painting: Hardie board siding is known to retain paint longer than wood. Because it is moisture-resistant, it never swells or rots so the paint never peels, chips or cracks. It also comes in a variety of pre-painted colors from which to choose, allowing you to select the proper shade without lifting a finger.
Keeping this in consideration, how often do you have to repaint Hardie board?
On average, a high quality, 100-percent acrylic exterior house paint should last anywhere from five to 15 years on fiber cement that's properly primed at the factory, as long as the paint was applied correctly and there hasn't been any unusual damage to the home.
