I'm thinking how often should I re-paint my house? Is it normal to re-paint every 5 years? Any advise & comments? Thanks! :)

I would say 3 to 5 years. It also depend on the condition..
Some good indicators that your house is ready to be repainted are:
1. Loose peeling paint
2. Siding joints have opened up and require caulking
3. Siding and trim sheen level will have dulled down
4. Siding has faded (Noticeable from the sunny sides and shady sides)
Usually around 2-3 years, as every new coat will bring changes to your life.
Maybe you can repaint your house when you get sick of the color.
Well...
Its a good question.. I often paint my house with in 2 years and earlier if i needed...
My Sis kids paints the wall every month, but they need to wash it off after every time. :D
Usually every 5-7 years depending if your just bored and want a change but if u have it done professionally about 10 yrs is average
Humm, when did i paint my house, when i first move in that was 2 years ago.
Did not think of painting it yet, guess because my wall do not get dirty as I do not have young children at home.
It depends on what kind of paint you had used for painting it, usually an ordinary paint would last until 8-10 months I think it is also a factor on how you keep your house clean in order to avoid the wall paint on being damaged or ruined.
my dad repaint when he thinks he is down on luck and will also start shifting things around the house. he said can change fengshui
