Exterior paint chalking or fading — New York, New York
Chalking is the white powdery residue that forms on exterior paint surfaces as UV rays and weather break down the binder. Left untreated, it leads to fading, bare wood exposure, and moisture damage. A professional painter can power-wash the surface, prime affected areas, and apply UV-resistant exterior paint to restore and protect your home's finish.
