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.
