East Hampton New York is no different to any other Hampton
location on or in the long island New York area. We get weather you guys and
some of the worst of it. We love the weather so should you because at least as humanitarians
it’s not hurricanes, tornadoes and the like, but for the most part and not for
nothing those of us whom are and this may seem self-serving professional painting contractor
service providers,
home improvement contractors and the like look at this as a house painting
house staining or home improvement paradise. Although jb of color co couldn’t
decide on the color of Sh!T, but what me makes him money. Something color home
improvement would do, you go jb junior. We had a name for him in school and it
was not John the Bapist. But to get back to the house painting problems and
more specific the ones going on here.
House painting situations:
Your
House Paint/Stain Cracking/Flaking: The
splitting and flaking of a dry house paint film which will lead to the complete
failure of the one or all top coats sometimes shows early on as hairline
cracks; and later on flaking paint chips occur.
Painting
Contractors Should Know Its Source:
·
Older substrates with multiple layers of house
paint/stain.
·
Over thinning of the house paint or over
spreading it to thin.
·
Poor substrate preparations, i.e. when the paint
or stain is applied to bare wood without priming.
·
House painting/ house staining under cool or
windy conditions that make the latex paint/stain dry too fast. Certain products
can be applied to the House paint/House stain to extend to paints open time.
·
Using cheap material that has inadequate
adhesion and flexibility.
Quality
House Painters Know The Remedies Does Yours?:
·
It may be possible to correct the cracking that
does not go down to the substrate by removing the cracking/ flaking house paint
or house stain via pressure-washing. Putting down drop clothes to catch the
debris.
·
You can remove the flaking/cracking or peeling
house paint/solid stain by using a wire brush and then sanding to feather the
edges. Finally repainting or staining.
·
If the cracking goes down to the substrate you
must scrap and sand the affected area then prime, paint or stain with a quality
exterior latex house stain/house paint.
Bleaching and pressure/power washing is the fastest and best
way but the substrate has to be complete dry before applying the House paint or
stain.
Peeling
House Stain or Paint: Staining your house, deck or painting them is lifting you and
your neighborhood. Take some pride make your home yours. Put a stamp on it. But
hey if you did and your house paint or house stain is lifting from the surface it
is probably due to your crap painting contractor, poor choice in one just not
knowing should you have done it yourself. Nothing wrong with a DIY’r but ask a
pro Joe before you go. It’s due to the poor adhesion and can involve the
first or subsequent coats.
Possible Cause:
·
Excessive moisture in the substrate. Not allow
the substrate to dry completely i.e. sprinklers and poor air circulation caused
by trees brushes etc. Essentially steams the house paint or stain off the
surfaces.
·
Seepage of moisture through poorly or un-caulked
joints, worn out caulk or quiet possibly a leaking roof, window, and or wall.
·
Applying oil based stain or house paint/stain
over a wet surface or filler which will cause blistering.
·
Try to identify and eliminate the cause improper
surface preparation like not thoroughly cleaning down a surface to remove all
contaminants.
House
painting and staining Remedies:
·
Excessive moisture (Efflorescence/Mottling).
·
Prepare
the surface by removing the loose peeling house stain or house paint via
pressure/power-washer with drop clothes to catch the debris. Scrap or wire bush
the surface then sand the rough. Apply a high quality exterior primer/ stain to
all bare wood surfaces. Re-stain or paint with high quality latex stain/paint
for the best adhesion and blister resistance.
Efflorescence / Mottling : Crusty, white mineral salt
deposits that leach out to the surface on mortar, concrete and masonry
surfaces. Sure sign there is a moisture issue.
