Placeholder ImageWhy Your Exterior Paint Might be Peeling Here are some of the reasons the paint on your house can start peeling.

Paints peeling can happen to any house, and it can be an unattractive sight. It’s important to understand the source of the problem if you’re going to resolve it, and peeling paint can occur for a few reasons. Each potential problem has its own solutions, so correctly identifying the source of the issue is critical. Here are some of the reasons the paint on your house can start peeling.

Moisture Exposure

When your house gets exposed to water constantly, the water can get under your paint. Once this happens, moisture starts building up, causing your paint to peel away from the surface of your house. Leaks around the house usually cause this problem, so you’ll want to get these leaks fixed if you want to stop this problem.

Loss of Adhesion

If you don’t address blistering, peeling is likely to occur. Bubbles that are created from the heat of the sun will start cracking open and shed off your house’s surface. Adhesion loss can also be a concern when you paint on a surface that’s dirty, or when the paint you use doesn’t work well with the surface on which it’s applied. A common problem that can lead to adhesion loss is when people try mixing oil-based paints with water-based ones.

Inferior Paints

A lot of people might tell you that high-end paints could last longer. While there is definitely merit to those claims, you should be recommended to use products that can work well with your outdoor environment. Since different people live in different areas, the best product for your situation could be different from someone else’s.

New Wood

New wood can serve as the catalyst for peeling paint too. Before you apply any new paints to your house, especially along the exterior, you’ll need to treat the wood. There are natural oils found in new wood, and it’s these oils that can cause paints to start peeling earlier than weathered wood.

Sunshine

While the sun can be beneficial in many ways, it also serves as a hindrance to your paint at times. The sun’s UV rays can harm your house’s exterior in a similar manner to how humans get sunburnt. Just like how skin peels after it’s been burnt, so too will the paint on the exterior of the house. When you have peeling paint, it won’t be able to keep your property safe.

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!!
