Fencing Company Levittown PA | Call Sal Painting

The most common cause is moisture trapped under the paint, often from rain and humidity in our area. If the wood wasn't properly sealed or the previous paint was applied over a dirty or damp surface, it will blister and peel within a year or two. At Sal Painting, we always check for moisture issues and sand down to bare wood before repainting to prevent this.

Look for soft spots, rot at the base, or sections that wobble when pushed. If the wood is still solid but the paint is faded or peeling, a thorough power wash, primer, and fresh paint can restore it. However, if more than 20% of the boards are rotted or split, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We offer free estimates in Levittown to help decide the best option.

Pressure washing removes dirt, mildew, and loose paint, but it won't restore a faded finish. For a fence that was previously painted, the bare wood will look uneven and unprotected after washing. We recommend either a stain-sealer if you like the natural look, or a full repaint for a uniform color and longer lifespan. Without protection, the wood will gray and crack within a few months in our Pennsylvania weather.
