Most Toronto interior walls go 5 to 7 years between repaints. Hallways and stairwells go 3 to 5. Ceilings can stretch to 8 or 10. Exterior wood needs paint every 3 to 7 years, stucco every 5 to 10, and properly painted brick can hold 8 to 15 or longer. Those are broad ranges though, and Toronto is harder on paint than most places. Roughly 62 freeze-thaw cycles a year, road salt spray along every arterial, hard south and west sun, and bone-dry forced-air winters all pull the interval down. This guide gives you the table, the local factors that shorten or stretch it, and the physical signs that override the calendar entirely.
