Exterior Paint in West Bloomfield: What Causes Peeling, Cracking & Fading?
Understanding why paint fails helps you choose the right system and avoid repeat work. Here are common causes we plan for on West Bloomfield exteriors.
Moisture & Shaded Elevations
Shade can hold moisture longer, leading to mildew and adhesion problems. Proper cleaning, drying time, and sealing practices reduce early failure.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Water intrusion at unsealed joints can expand and contract with temperature changes. Caulking and priming vulnerable areas helps protect your exterior.
Sun Exposure & UV
Southern and western elevations can fade faster. We consider exposure and choose coatings designed to hold color and film integrity longer.
Poor Prep from Previous Jobs
Peeling often traces back to painting over dirt, chalking, or glossy surfaces. We correct these issues with proper prep so the new system can bond.
Exterior Painting FAQs
Common questions homeowners ask before repainting the outside of their home.
Do you power wash before painting?
In most cases, yes. Cleaning removes dirt, mildew, and chalking so the paint system can bond. Proper drying time after washing is also important for performance.
How often should a house exterior be repainted?
It depends on surface type, exposure, and previous prep quality. Sun-facing elevations and areas with moisture can wear faster. A proper prep-first repaint typically lasts longer than a quick “coat over” job.
Can you paint over peeling or flaking paint?
We address peeling by removing loose material, sanding, and priming where needed. Painting over active failure usually leads to early peeling, so stabilization is key.
How do you protect landscaping and outdoor spaces?
We cover and protect plants, hardscapes, windows, and nearby surfaces, control overspray, and keep the site tidy. Cleanup and a final walkthrough are part of the process.
