Why Is My Exterior Paint Peeling?

What Causes Exterior Paint to Peel?

Paint loses adhesion when moisture gets behind the coating or when the surface was not properly prepared before painting. In Minnesota, weather conditions often accelerate paint failure if maintenance issues are not addressed.

• Moisture behind siding
• Failed caulking
• Painting over damp surfaces
• Improper preparation
• Skipping primer
• Freeze-thaw damage
