Unveiling the Mystery: What's Behind Your Paint Peeling Woes?
Insights from Teall Painting
Picture this: You've just finished painting your walls, excited to admire the fresh, vibrant colors
adorning your home. But instead of smooth surfaces and flawless finishes, you're greeted with
unsightly peeling paint. What went wrong? At Teall Painting, we understand the frustration and
disappointment that comes with paint peeling issues. In this blog post, we'll delve into the
common causes of peeling paint and provide insights on how to address and prevent this pesky
problem.
Understanding Paint Peeling
Paint peeling occurs when the paint loses adhesion to the underlying surface, resulting in
flaking, bubbling, or peeling away from the wall. Several factors can contribute to this
phenomenon, including:
Moisture: Excessive moisture is one of the leading causes of paint peeling. Water can
seep into the walls through leaks, cracks, or inadequate ventilation, leading to paint
failure and eventual peeling.
Poor Surface Preparation: Proper surface preparation is crucial for ensuring paint
adhesion. Failing to clean, sand, or prime the surface adequately can prevent the paint
from bonding properly, resulting in peeling.
Incompatible Paint Layers: Applying incompatible paint types or mixing oil-based and
water-based paints can lead to adhesion issues and paint peeling over time.
High Humidity: High humidity levels, especially in areas like bathrooms and kitchens, can
create an environment conducive to paint peeling. Moisture trapped beneath the paint
film can cause it to swell and separate from the surface.
Aging and Weathering: Over time, exposure to sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and
other environmental factors can degrade the integrity of the paint, leading to peeling and
deterioration.
Addressing Paint Peeling
If you're dealing with paint peeling issues, here are some steps you can take to address the
problem:
Identify the Root Cause: Determine the underlying cause of the paint peeling, whether
it's moisture infiltration, poor surface preparation, or other factors.
Repair Damaged Surfaces: Address any underlying issues, such as repairing leaks,
filling cracks, and replacing damaged drywall or wood, before repainting.
Remove Loose Paint: Use a scraper or wire brush to remove any loose or peeling paint
from the surface, ensuring a smooth and stable base for repainting.
Prime the Surface: Apply a high-quality primer to the prepared surface to promote paint
adhesion and create a barrier against moisture and other potential causes of peeling.
Choose the Right Paint: Select a paint specifically formulated for your surface type and
intended use, and follow manufacturer recommendations for application and drying
times.
Preventing Future Peeling
To prevent paint peeling from recurring in the future, consider the following preventive
measures:
Address Moisture Issues: Address any sources of moisture, such as leaks, humidity, or
inadequate ventilation, to prevent water damage and mold growth.
Proper Surface Preparation: Ensure thorough cleaning, sanding, and priming of surfaces
before painting to promote adhesion and longevity.
Use Quality Materials: Invest in high-quality paints, primers, and applicators to ensure
durable and long-lasting results.
Regular Maintenance: Keep an eye on your painted surfaces and address any signs of
damage or wear promptly to prevent issues from escalating.

Frequently Asked Questions
"Timing Your Transformation: Estimating How Long it Will Take to Paint Your Interior with
Teall Painting"
Embarking on an interior painting project is an exciting endeavor that can breathe new life into
your home. However, one question that often arises is: how long will it take to complete the
project? At Teall Painting, we understand the importance of planning and managing
expectations when it comes to timelines. In this blog post, we'll provide insights into the factors
that influence the duration of an interior painting project and offer tips for ensuring a smooth
and efficient process.
Factors Influencing Project Duration
Several factors can influence the timeline for painting your interior:
Size of the Space: The size of the area to be painted is one of the most significant
factors in determining project duration. Larger rooms or multiple rooms will naturally
take longer to complete than smaller spaces.
Surface Preparation: Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving a smooth and
long-lasting finish. Depending on the condition of the walls, this step may include
cleaning, patching, sanding, and priming, which can add to the overall timeline.
Number of Coats: The number of coats required will depend on factors such as the color
of the paint, the type of surface being painted, and the desired finish. Applying multiple
coats, especially for color changes or coverage over dark colors, will extend the project
timeline.
Drying Time: Each coat of paint needs sufficient time to dry before the next coat can be
applied. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation can affect drying times,
impacting the overall duration of the project.
Additional Features: Features such as trim, doors, windows, and ceilings may require
additional time and attention to detail, further extending the project timeline.
Estimating Project Duration
While every project is unique, here are some general guidelines to help you estimate how long it may take to paint your interior:
● Single Room: 1-2 days
● Average-sized home (3-4 bedrooms): 3-5 days
● Large Home (5+ bedrooms): 5-7 days or more
Please note that these are approximate timelines and may vary depending on the specific details of your project.
Tips for Ensuring Efficiency
To ensure a smooth and efficient painting process, consider the following tips:
Plan Ahead: Schedule your painting project during a time when you can accommodate
the disruption to your daily routine and ensure access to the space being painted.
Clear the Space: Remove furniture, decorations, and other items from the area being
painted to facilitate easier access for painters and minimize the risk of damage.
Communicate Clearly: Discuss your timeline expectations with your painting contractor
upfront and stay in communication throughout the project to address any concerns or
changes.
Trust the Professionals: Enlisting the help of experienced professionals like Teall
Painting can streamline the process and ensure high-quality results in a timely manner.
How Do You Hire and Screen Your Painters?
All of our painters have 5+ years of professional experience and a closely monitored quality/customer service rating. They go through an extensive vetting process so you can feel safe with them in your home and confident about their work.
Are Your Painters Background Checked?
Yes!
Do You Stand Behind Your Work?
We protect our clients with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and our 2-Year Iron-Clad Warranty. In the very rare case, there is paint failure due to a defective product or application, we’ll come back free to charge to make sure the affected areas are repaired and repainted.
Are You Licensed and Insured?
Absolutely! We make certain we protect our customers by carrying the appropriate coverage. Additionally, we are licensed by all local authorities and continually seek out industry-recognized certifications and designations to add to our customer’s peace of mind.
Will You Keep Our Property Clean and Tidy?
YES! We use a daily checklist to make sure we keep the work area orderly and all tools/equipment stored in one place.
Will You Move Our Furniture?
We will move furniture for you as needed. Normally we just need to clear enough space off the walls so we can work comfortably. The remaining furniture in the room will be covered in plastic. For heavier items, furniture on wood/delicate flooring, china cabinets, and delicates- we ask that you please bring this to the attention of the crew or project manager. We would ask for your help to handle and remove china, delicate items, etc. We treat your home as if it was our own, so we care about safely handling your personal property.
Will You Protect Our Floors?
Yes - we will cover your floors with a combination of the following: Plastic sheathing, builder's paper, and/or drop cloths. Please feel free to ask us for photos of how we protect floors, furniture, cabinets, etc. In the event that there is paint anywhere on a floor surface in your home- do not be alarmed. We always do our best to keep tidy- but most interior paint drips can be removed and cleaned up with hot water and soap.
Do You Provide an "Estimate" or a "Firm Quote"?
All of our quotes are firm. The price will not change on our original agreed-upon scope unless additional work is added or removed.
Do You Use Sub-Contractors?
No, never have and never will! Take a second now, and ask yourself why you felt so relieved at that initial response. It may be because you have heard some horror story about ‘subcontractors’ or you have experienced a bad situation yourself. But let me assure you- one of the reasons why Teall Painting exists, is to bring a high level of service and delightful experience to an industry that as a whole, has a poor track record for doing so. Teall Painting does utilize subcontractors from time to time- but anyone who works for Teall Painting (w2, 1099, etc) is not discriminated against or treated differently based on how they file their taxes. We are all part of the Teall family, vetted the same way, and held to the same quality standards.
What Type of Paint Do You Recommend?
We use Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG paints because we have a strong relationship with the brand and they produce quality products. This means if there is ever a manufacturing defect, we know that those paints will stand behind our work – and your project.
When Do You Take Payment?
After paid deposit, we only take payment at the end of the project when it is completed and you are 100% happy! The only exceptions are when specialty products, such as epoxies or other items, are ordered directly from a manufacturer.
Title: "Choosing the Perfect Sheen: A Guide to Painting Your Kitchen with Teall Painting"
When it comes to painting your kitchen, selecting the right sheen can make all the difference in
achieving the perfect look and durability. At Teall Painting, we understand that every kitchen is
unique, and choosing the right sheen is an essential part of the painting process. In this blog
post, we'll explore the different sheen options available and help you determine which one is
best suited for your kitchen.
Understanding Sheen
Before we dive into specific sheen options, let's first understand what sheen refers to. Sheen,
also known as finish or gloss level, describes the level of shine or reflection in a paint finish.
Different sheens offer varying levels of durability, ease of cleaning, and aesthetic appeal,
making it important to choose the right one for your kitchen.
Sheen Options for Kitchens
Flat or Matte: Flat or matte sheen offers a smooth, non-reflective finish that is ideal for
concealing imperfections on walls and ceilings. While it provides a sophisticated look, it
may not be the best choice for kitchens, as it is less durable and more prone to stains
and marks.
Eggshell: Eggshell sheen has a subtle, low-luster finish that offers a slight sheen without
being too glossy. It is easy to clean and provides a more durable surface compared to
flat or matte finishes, making it suitable for kitchen walls.
Satin: Satin sheen offers a soft, velvety finish with a gentle sheen that reflects light. It
provides excellent durability and is easy to clean, making it a popular choice for kitchen
walls, cabinets, and trim.
Semi-Gloss: Semi-gloss sheen has a noticeable shine and offers superior durability and
moisture resistance. It is highly washable and resistant to stains, making it an ideal
choice for kitchen cabinets, trim, and areas prone to moisture, such as backsplashes
and window sills.
Gloss: Gloss sheen has a high shine and reflects light, creating a sleek and modern
look. While it offers the highest level of durability and is easy to clean, it may highlight
imperfections on surfaces, so it's often used sparingly in kitchens, such as on cabinets or
accent features.
Choosing the Right Sheen for Your Kitchen
When selecting the right sheen for your kitchen, consider factors such as:
● Traffic and Use: Determine how much wear and tear your kitchen surfaces will endure
and choose a sheen that offers the appropriate level of durability.
● Aesthetic Preference: Consider the overall style and design of your kitchen and select a
sheen that complements your aesthetic preferences and desired look.
● Maintenance: Take into account how easy it will be to clean and maintain the painted
surfaces in your kitchen, especially in areas prone to splashes and spills.

Question: Can we direct the Teall Crew while they are working on my project
Answer: It is important that all parties understand the agreed upon scope of work, specifically when it comes to drywall prep and repair work that will be completed on the wall surfaces prior to painting. If you have any questions before, or during the painting process- please ask your crew leader or reach out to Charlie or the office directly. As the customer, you should freely and openly address any questions or concerns to your crew leader or PM. We are always ready to listen. But you may not direct the painters on site by: giving them a list of things to do while they are working on your project/scope of work, ordering them to complete tasks not on their work order, offering them payments or side agreements for new scope additions, and anything along these lines.
Question: How long will the project take to complete
Answer: Your project timeline will be determined by the scope of work you are looking to complete (number of rooms, drywall preparation, size and complexity of your exterior, etc). The following guidelines are for informational purposes only, and your estimator will inform you as to how long your specific project will take to complete. But generally, a 1-2 room interior repaint project should take 2 to 3 days to complete; 3-4 room interior project should take 4-5 days to complete; a whole house interior project should take around 7-9 days to complete; cabinet repaints normally take 3-4 days on average; exterior repaint projects take 6-9 days to complete.

Unveiling the Artistry: What Makes a Good Paint Job?
Painting is more than just a mundane task of coating walls with colors; it is an art form that can transform a space and breathe life into its surroundings. A good paint job is not solely about achieving a flawless finish; it's about creating an atmosphere that evokes emotions, enhances aesthetics, and stands the test of time.
Surface Preparation:
The foundation of a remarkable paint job lies in thorough surface preparation. This step involves cleaning, repairing cracks and imperfections, sanding, and priming surfaces. By ensuring a smooth and clean canvas, the paint adheres better, resulting in a more even finish. Neglecting this crucial step can lead to premature peeling, cracking, and an overall subpar appearance.
Quality Materials:
Using high-quality paints, primers, and tools is a non-negotiable aspect of a good paint job. Inferior materials may save costs initially but often result in lackluster outcomes. Premium paints offer better coverage, durability, and color retention, allowing for a more vibrant and long-lasting finish.
Technique:
While having the right tools is essential, it is the painter's expertise and technique that truly make a difference. A skilled painter possesses an understanding of various application methods, such as brushing, rolling, or spraying, and knows how to achieve the desired effects on different surfaces. Whether it's creating a smooth, seamless finish or adding texture and depth, the painter's skill is what brings the vision to life.
Attention to Detail:
The mark of a superior paint job lies in the attention given to every detail. This encompasses careful masking of trim, windows, and fixtures to prevent accidental smudges and drips. Straight, crisp lines and well-executed corners indicate a meticulous approach. Paying attention to the small details demonstrates a commitment to excellence and elevates the overall aesthetic appeal of the project.
Color Consultation and Coordination:
Choosing the right colors can make or break the success of a paint job. Teall Painting provides color consultation services, helping clients select hues that complement their style, architecture, and existing décor. By considering factors such as lighting, mood, and personal preferences, the final color scheme harmonizes with the space and achieves the desired ambiance.
Clean and Efficient Execution:
A good paint job not only produces remarkable results but also minimizes disruption to daily life. Teall Painting takes all measures to protect furniture, flooring, and other belongings, working diligently to complete the project within the agreed timeline while maintaining a clean and tidy workspace.
Customer Satisfaction and Warranty:
At Teall Painting we prioritize customer satisfaction. That’s why we stand behind our workmanship and offers a 2-year Iron Clad warranty and ensure that any necessary touch-ups or repairs are promptly addressed.
A good paint job goes beyond the surface, embracing the principles of artistry and craftsmanship.

A painting company that values customer satisfaction takes measures to minimize disruptions, adheres to agreed-upon schedules, and maintains a clean and organized work environment. Treating the customer's property with care and consideration is a hallmark of exceptional service.
Timeliness and Reliability
Punctuality and reliability are key factors in customer satisfaction. By delivering projects on time and within the agreed-upon budget, we demonstrate our dedication to customer satisfaction. Time is a precious commodity and a company that respects that will leave a lasting impression on its customers.
Going Above and Beyond
Customer satisfaction extends beyond the completion of a project. Exceptional painting companies go the extra mile to ensure customer happiness. This can include providing additional guidance on color selection, offering touch-up services, or providing maintenance recommendations to preserve the paint job's longevity.
In the realm of painting, customer satisfaction is not just a destination—it is a continuous journey. By prioritizing clear communication, attention to detail, respect for the customer's space, timeliness, reliability, and going above and beyond, a painting company can create a delightful experience for its customers. Happy customers become brand advocates, spreading the word about the exceptional service they received.

Colors have the remarkable power to evoke emotions and set the tone of a room.

Strive for balance and cohesion, ensuring that your colors enhance the overall aesthetic.
Test, Test, Test!
Before committing to a color, it's essential to test it in your space. Paint small sections on the wall or use samples to see how the color interacts with the lighting throughout the day. Colors can appear different under various lighting conditions, so it's crucial to observe them in different settings. Don't be afraid to experiment and adjust until you find the perfect shade.
Seek Professional Advice
While choosing colors is an exciting endeavor, it can also be overwhelming. That's where we come to the rescue! Please feel free to reach out anytime to schedule a free color consultation with our Color Specialist!
