Insufficient or incorrect surface preparation is the most common reason for exterior paint to fail. A properly prepared surface gets the best results from your paint project. With some common household items and elbow grease ahead of time, you can save yourself money and frustration in the long run. Pro Decorators is proud to provide this information as a service to you. 

Sunlight and moisture can cause chalking and tint loss; however, latex paint tends to resist the effects of direct sunlight better than oil-based or alkyd paints.

Water and moisture. Wood expands and contracts due to changing moisture levels. Paint will crack and flake under this stress. Permeable or breathable latex paint allows water to vaporize and escape before damage can occur. Moisture can cause blistering, which leads to mildew growth. Paint additives keep mildew from forming but will not kill existing mildew. 

Change in temperature. Superior adhesion and flexibility in paint helps prevent cracking and flaking, caused by the expanding. and/or contracting of the substrate (wood, plywood, or hardboard). Top quality acrylic latex paint is an excellent choice for areas with freeze/thaw cycles.

Exterior painting requires a special outdoor paint that can withstand the elements of weather. Because of the exposure to moisture, siding usually requires a primer coat if wood is exposed and scraping and sanding pealing paint to achieve a smooth coat.
