Peeling exterior paint is more than an eyesore — it's a sign of a problem that needs fixing properly, not painting over.
Peeling exterior paint is one of the most common issues X Deco is called to assess — and one of the most frequently mishandled. Simply painting over peeling paint will fail within months. The only way to fix peeling paint properly is to address the underlying cause before any new coating is applied.
X Deco identifies why your paint is peeling, removes all failing paint, treats the underlying cause, prepares the substrate correctly, and applies a new coating system that will last.

All peeling and failing paint removed by scraping, sanding or pressure washing before any new coating is applied.
If moisture is the cause, we treat the source — sealing, waterproofing, or redirecting water before repainting.
The right primer for the substrate and condition — ensuring the new coating system bonds properly and lasts.
Two coats of premium exterior coating applied over properly prepared surfaces for a lasting result.
All our exterior repaints come with a 5-year workmanship warranty. If it peels because of our work, we fix it free.

The most common causes are moisture getting behind the coating, incompatible paint systems (oil over water or vice versa), painting over a dirty or glossy surface without preparation, or paint applied to wet or contaminated surfaces.
No. Painting over peeling paint will fail — the new paint will peel off with the old within months. All peeling paint must be removed and the cause addressed before repainting.
The key is proper preparation and the right products. X Deco's thorough prep process — washing, sanding, priming, and using quality coatings — minimises the risk of future peeling significantly.
If paint we applied is peeling due to our workmanship or product failure, it is covered by our 5-year warranty. Peeling caused by structural issues, moisture ingress or damage is treated separately.
