Common Exterior Paint Problems You Will Find Exterior painting is usually more complex than painting an interior due to the variables of being more exposed to weather conditions. The list below is some of the common problems that homeowners may encounter. Exterior Peeling: Due to the four seasons in Michigan, peeling can be quite an issue. Peeling can be found on the door trim, garage trim, railings, and post. Moisture usually sits here and breaks down the paint. Now that the paint is peeling off, moisture can get into the wood and damage the wood, leading to rotting boards which will then need to be replaced. As to the exterior siding, peeling underneath the siding boards, usually on the north side of your house, whatever sides that do not get enough sunlight. Since these sides do not get enough sun exposure, moisture stays longer, which leads to the paint breaking down underneath the siding boards. Also, most painting contractors do not get paint underneath the siding board. Once the paint breaks down, it begins to swell up. It can quickly lead to rotting siding boards allowing the moisture to seep further into the siding. |

Exterior Fading: The sides of your home that get the most sun. Normally, the South and West side of your home is where fading develops. As the sun constantly beats down on the paint, it breaks down the resin. The resin is the hardener in the paint. Therefore, the siding of your home loses its protection and can then the board begins to warp.
Exterior Cracking: Typically, cracking appears where the joints are. Joints are where the siding boards meet trim boards, or where trim boards meet trim boards, and also around the windows and doors. As the temperatures change, the house moves and causes the caulking to crack. Once cracking happens, then moisture gets in and runs down the back of the board where it is unprotected. This leads to the board warping away from the side of the house leading to board replacement.
Exterior Nail Holes: On the siding or any area where it was nailed in can cause swelling because of the moisture sitting in the nail hole. Leaving the nail hole unfilled causes damage to the siding.
