Blisters or bubbles appear when a layer of paint does not adhere perfectly to its surface. As the new film of paint dries and pulls away, pockets of air or water from underneath will cause it to expand. The most common factors that prevent paint from fully adhering are dirt, moisture, extreme heat, and inadequate surface preparation. For interior and exterior painting projects, the most common and biggest mistake is inadequate surface preparation. Most people want to start painting right away and cut corners on the prep. Taking the time to prepare all surfaces to be painted will undoubtingly save money and time.

For bathrooms, we recommend using high-quality paints that are specifically designed to resist mildew and moisture. These paints are durable and perfect for walls, ceilings, and trim in humid environments.
