Peeling out of the paint 

The Causes

• New coats of paint will only stick as well as the old coats of paint they’ve been applied over.  Probably the most common reason we see peeling is due to insufficient scraping of the old coatings before applying new coatings of paint.
• If the most recent paint coating was applied directly over a bare platform or an extremely glossy surface it can cause a loss of adhesion between the paint and the surface to where it’s being applied to.

The Solutions

• Pressure-wash to clean the surface and remove any loose or peeling off the paint.  Scrape any remaining peeling areas and feather the edges with the help of sandpaper or an electric sander.
• Make sure that there are no leaks in the gutters or upon the roof as that the surface is clean and dry properly and else you can take the help of real estate painting Brisbane like services.
