Common Issues with Exterior Paint

Some of the common issues with exterior paint are:

• Mold Growth
• Pest Infestations
• Adhesion Problems
• Fading Paint
• Damage from Hazardous Substance Exposure

Many of these issues occur because the painting surface was not correctly inspected and prepared before painting began. Exterior painters in Toronto should be sure to check for mold, mildew, and water damage prior to preparing the building for painting. Mold and mildew will continue to grow under the paint and erode the paint away over time. Mold buildup can also cause significant health issues, so it is imperative to check for mold before painting.

Pests should be removed before painting can begin. Finding pests and damage from pests later will hinder the painting process.

Your building should be properly prepared before any painting begins. This will help prevent your paint from fading. Fading paint is common on the exterior of buildings due to weather exposure. The weather in Canada is unpredictable. Extreme temperatures, rain, snow, UV rays, and wind can cause paint to fade quickly, but with the right preparation, the paint will be less likely to fade prematurely.

Preparing for Paint

After your building has been inspected, the surface must be prepared. At Industry Painting, we are trained in NACE and SSPC preparation standards. We use a variety of prep techniques, like pressure washing and abrasive blasting, to properly prepare the painting surface. We also use paint coatings, such as waterproof elastomeric paint, epoxy, and urethane to help the paint adhere to the surface better.

Environmental Conditions

Exterior paint issues can also occur due to the environmental conditions present during painting. The quality of the paint job will be greatly affected if it is humid, windy, rainy, or too hot or cold. Painting should be done on days that have even temperatures, minimal wind, and little to no moisture.
