Paint Peeling on My House Exterior 2Jun 20, 2024 1:46 pm Peeling paint on your house exterior, whether it's siding, stucco, or another material, can stem from several factors. Common causes include moisture infiltration, inadequate surface preparation before painting, prolonged sun exposure causing the paint to contract and expand, and aging paint losing its adhesion. To fix peeling paint, start by thoroughly cleaning the affected area to remove loose paint, dirt, and mould. Sand the surface smooth and fill any cracks or holes with an appropriate exterior filler. Next, apply a high-quality exterior primer to seal the surface and provide a stable base for the new paint. Once the primer is dry, apply a suitable exterior paint according to the manufacturer's instructions. Proper maintenance, including ensuring good ventilation and drainage, can help prevent future issues with peeling paint on your home's exterior. If the peeling is extensive or you're uncertain about the process, consider consulting a professional painter or contractor specialising in exterior house painting Sydney area for assistance.
