It’s common for the trim of your home to experience peeling, especially if it is made of real wood such as 1×2’s used on fascia, door trim, garage trim, and railings. Due to its material, these areas are highly susceptible to peeling, which is mainly caused by moisture. The constant beating on paint from the freezing and thawing process and accumulated moisture can lead to severe damage. And once paint begins to peel, the affected areas on your home become exposed, leading to gray and rotten wood that may need costly repairs. To make matters worse, these areas are prone to repeating the peeling process if not taken care of properly.
Southedge Painting, we highly recommend taking special care of these damage-prone areas. We suggest sanding the peeling areas after scraping off loose paint to create a smoother edge and surface for painting. This method promotes better paint adhesion, reducing the risk of peeling in the future. To finish off the process, we always recommend sealing the surface with a premium-quality primer. The sanded wood creates better adhesion for the primer itself, which in turn helps to create an ideal surface for the paint to bond.
