The most common causes of paint failure in Utah: skipped or incorrect primer on new drywall (causing delamination at joint edges); painting over moisture-compromised surfaces — especially in bathrooms; applying paint below 50°F or above 90°F (both common in Utah’s seasonal extremes); and insufficient surface preparation — painting over gloss, dirt, or failing existing paint without proper sanding and adhesion primer. RainFire Builders documents surface conditions and temperature readings before painting begins and will delay painting rather than proceed in unfavorable conditions.
