Placeholder ImageHow You Can Address Peeling Paint Here is what you can do to deal with paint that has started to peel around your house.

No one wants the paint on their walls to start peeling. Not only is this an unpleasant sight to behold, but it also puts your home in danger. When peeling happens, it’s easier for water and moisture to penetrate your house. For this reason, you need to address peeling paint the moment you notice it. You don’t want mold, wood decay, and other problems to begin forming. Here is what you can do to deal with paint that has started to peel around your house.

Figure Out The Cause of Your Peeling Paint

While you can always put new paint on your walls, it’s not going to do any good if you don’t know why the paint peeled in the first place. If you don’t address the reason for peeling paint, it’s just going to keep peeling over and over again. Some of the reasons peeling may occur include adverse weather conditions, using the wrong rolling techniques, and not preparing the wall properly for painting.

Remove Any Loose Paint

The loose paint needs to come off of the walls before you can apply a new coat. A scraper is a handy tool you can use to get your wall surface prepared. If there is any leftover debris, you could go with a wire brush to take care of it. Lastly, use some sandpaper to help smooth out your surface so that you can start painting.

Invest in a Pre-Painting Cleaner

Don’t just go with any old cleaner when getting your walls ready for painting. It’s best to go with a specialized cleaning solution. If you do, the product you pick will end up being more helpful for getting paint to stick to your wall’s surfaces. It will also be easier to apply new coats onto surfaces that have been painted before, and you can more easily deal with mold spores and stop new ones from growing.

Keep an Eye on the Weather

Be careful when you try to complete your painting tasks. You don’t want the temperature to be too high or too low. The ideal temperatures for painting range between 40 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity is another variable you’ll have to keep in the back of your mind. The humidity levels should always be between 40 and 70 percent. Lastly, make sure you’re applying the paint when the surface is dry, and you have at least partial shade around.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
