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...

Caught my attention as we are dealing with this right now. Painter coming tues.
Our paint is 9 years old and is original to the house. We had discussed changing the color but committed to original. The painter did not try to influence us either way. Reminder, they do not strip the old paint off. Thus if you home was tan and you decide to paint it grey any chip will show the tan under color.
May not be glamorous but a big part of the job is preparation. As far as painter, you have only his reputation. I would ask your neighbors. True or not. Our painter is pushing Sherwin Williams paint. I went to their store with a friend on another issue all together there was a pro on line behind us. As guess, they sell on credit to credit qualified pros. Our painter told us Sherwin Williams has announced a price increase-next year. Reminder next year is less than 30 days from now
