Common mistakes
What goes wrong when hiring a painter
Skipping surface prep
Cracks, damp, and old flaking paint need proper treatment before repainting, otherwise the new coat fails within months.
Cheap paint in a coastal climate
Budget paint peels fast in salt air and humidity. Ask specifically what product is rated for exterior coastal use.
No damp treatment before painting
Painting over an active damp patch just hides the problem temporarily. Treat the source of moisture first.
Skipping primer on exterior render
Bare or patched render needs a proper primer coat, skipping it shortens the life of the whole job.
No protection plan for occupied rooms
Dust sheets, ventilation, and a clear timeline matter if you’re living in the property during the work.
