Interior & Exterior Painting Service for Your Walls
While everyone is talking about the best painting brands, top-quality paints, and the painting process, very few pay attention to the foundation where the paint is going to be applied. If the substrate, the surface beneath the paint, is not thoroughly
checked before painting, it can ruin the interiors, regardless of how premium the
paint is.
We believe in the power of colors to transform spaces. Our team of skilled painters will turn your walls into a canvas of joy. We listen to your preferences and ensure your home reflects your
style and personality.
Types Of Common Interior and Exterior Painting Issues
Blistering Paint
Do you notice paint bubbles or blisters on your walls?
Possible Causes: Moisture trapped under the paint, applying paint in high humidity, or painting over a dirty or moist surface.
Identification: Inspect for raised, blister-like bubbles on the painted surface.
Peeling Paint
Does your paint look like it's about to shed its skin?
Possible Causes: Moisture seepage, poor adhesion due to improper surface preparation, or use of low-quality paint.
Identification: Look for sections where the paint is visibly peeling off the wall. It may start as small cracks before peeling occurs.
Bubbling Paint
Do you see paint bubbles forming on your walls?
Possible Causes: Moisture trapped under the paint, applying paint in hot or humid conditions, or painting over a dirty or uneven surface.
Identification: Inspect for raised, blister-like bubbles on the painted surface.
Chalking Paint
Is your paint gradually turning chalky and powdery?
Possible Causes: Excessive exposure to sunlight, using inferior paint, or applying paint to exterior surfaces not meant for it.
Identification:Run your hand over the painted surface; if chalky residue comes off on your hand, it’s a sign of chalking
Discoloration Issue
Is your paint losing its original color and looking uneven?
Possible Causes: Exposure to sunlight, smoke, or moisture, using incompatible paint types, or improper cleaning methods.
Identification: Compare the painted surface to an unaffected area or the original paint color to spot discoloration.
Cracking Paint
Are there unsightly cracks marring your painted walls?
Possible Causes: Temperature fluctuations causing expansion and contraction, low-quality paint, or applying paint too thickly.
Identification: Examine the walls for thin, hairline cracks or larger, more noticeable cracks.
Chipping Paint
Are pieces of paint chipping away, leaving exposed patches?
Possible Causes: Poor adhesion, using low-quality paint, or painting over a surface with loose or peeling paint.
Identification: Look for areas where the paint has completely detached, leaving bare spots.
Flaking Paint
Does your paint form large flakes or peel away in sheets?
Possible Causes: Moisture infiltration, applying paint too thickly, or poor surface preparation.
Identification: Observe sections where the paint is flaking or peeling in large pieces.
How to Address These Issues?
“To resolve these problems, it’s essential first to identify the root cause. Depending on the issue, you might need to scrape off the affected paint, repair any surface damage, and reapply a quality primer and paint. Proper surface preparation, choosing the right type of paint, and applying it correctly can prevent these issues from recurring. Preventive Measures: Maintain ideal indoor humidity levels to prevent moisture-related problems. Ensure proper surface preparation, including cleaning, sanding, and priming, before painting. Use high-quality paints that are suitable for the specific surface and conditions. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and recommended drying times between coats.
