Visual Signs of Paint Failure
- Peeling, Cracking, or Bubbling Paint: These indicate the paint is failing to adhere to the surface and is no longer providing protection.
- Fading Color: A significant change in color shows that the paint has been damaged by UV rays and weather.
- Stains and Discoloration: Stubborn water stains, mold, or mildew that can’t be washed off suggest the paint has lost its protective qualities.
- Chalking: When the paint disintegrates, it leaves a fine, chalky powder on your hands when you touch the surface.
- Deteriorating Caulking: Cracks in the caulking around windows and trim can allow moisture to seep in, causing damage.
- Visible Gaps: Gaps or shrinking wood can indicate movement in the structure, and damaged paint can’t adequately protect these areas.
If any of these symptoms describe the exterior finish of your house, you’re going to need a new paint job to protect your investment. Call Mike 541-497-3804
