Provo’s housing mix leans toward apartments and townhomes. For landlords that means frequent, fast interior repaints. For townhome owners it means the HOA often schedules and sometimes chooses the exterior colors.

About 44% of homes predate 1980, mostly in older central Provo and parts of Orem and Springville. Paint layers in those homes may contain lead, so ask about lead-safe practices before any sanding.

Newer homes have drywall interiors and stucco or fiber-cement exteriors, where repaints are usually about faded color rather than damaged wood.
