We have a mostly brick house. Only the garage doors and the soffits have paint. There is some paint above the back porch around the chimney.
Two years ago I noticed some of the soffit in the front of the house was sagging. I am NOT a carpenter, nor a painter. I called the guy that put our roof on because he does that type of work. He came out to give me an estimate and it was small stuff. He said when he replaces the roof he can just get it taken care of at the same time. The roof was only two years old at the time, so I was alarmed. He said don't worry, the tile manufacturer is paying for it because the old roof tiles were defective.
So he replaced the entire roof, and did some soffit repair, and a bit of painting and it cost us nothing. Dang it, that was my price goal!
When we do need some paint, I think we are going to siding. No more painting.
