Paint Nitemare...HELP!
Hi,
My ceilings have mildew & paint peeling again! I thought I had taken care of this nitemare, bleach/water solution, scraped & filled, used kiltz in one room & zinseller(sp) in the other...these are bedrooms. Then applied a good latex paint, month later installed crown moulding, beautiful, right? 2 yrs later in one room & not even a yr in the other, my problem is back! I also have a new 1 yr old roof & brand new furnace...the problem takes place on the walls facing the outside, which is also floor vent placement. The siding is only 6 yrs old and was well insulated. This is a 1-story older house w/attic, these rooms face east & west. Could my problem be attic insulation??? how do I find out?....any & all help/ideas much appreciated...Thanks....EL |

If it is the ceilings and the roof does not leak it could be
insufficient attic venting, Get a few pros out. |
