How Often Does My Shed Need to Be Repainted?

< 1 min read

Typical Repaint Interval: 7-10 Years #

LP SmartSide holds paint very well compared to natural wood. Under normal conditions, you can expect 7-10 years between repaints. South- and west-facing sides that get the most UV exposure may show wear sooner.

How to Touch Up Paint #

For small touch-ups, use an exterior latex paint matching your shed’s colour. Clean and dry the area first, lightly sand any rough edges, and apply one or two coats with a brush.

Full Repaint #

For a full repaint, strip any peeling areas back to bare material, then topcoat with a quality exterior latex paint. Contact us for your original colour formula if you need it.

Repainting Is the Most Important Maintenance Step #

Keeping the paint fresh protects the LP SmartSide and is the single most effective thing you can do to extend the life of your shed.
