There are three very important factors to a good exterior painting, especially with the harsh New England winters:

Good preparation: this is one of the most important factors. If the house is prepared correctly (sanded, scraped and caulked) a paint job can last many years.

Quality Materials: last, but certainly not least, is the paint. Fine Paints of Europe, Benjamin Moore, California & Sherwin Williams brands are the top-of-the line products on the market today.
