**Regular Cleaning**: Just give it a good wash every now and then. A hose down or a gentle scrub with soapy water can remove dirt and mildew.

**Repaint When Needed**: Every 5-10 years, you might want to consider a fresh coat. It keeps things looking sharp and protects the wood underneath.

**Trim Vegetation**: Make sure bushes and trees aren't touching your walls. They can trap moisture and cause paint to peel.

**Seal Cracks**: Fill in any cracks or gaps in your siding or trim. This helps keep moisture out and your paint looking fresh.
