I own a house with cedar singles. I can't get the peeling paint off. |
|
Is there anyway to do this without scaping every single shingle by hand? I've already tried a power washer? Help!!!!!!!!

2. I know the problem. didnt think of pressure washer, use heavy |
|
round sander that you attach to your drill. New ones are pretty good.
Didn't use that either when I had house, had to paint shingles dark dark brown to cover up imperfections.
try sander, that should do it.

cedar dust can cause really bad respiratory problems, either follow advice above, if it isn't falling off, paint over it.

Get a carbide-tipped paint scraper. Take one swipe at each patch of peeling paint--it will break off all of the peeling parts. Anything that's still there is going to stay there.
Then prime with Zinsser Bulls-Eye primer. This will keep you from having to paint the house black.
Then paint any color you want.
