What happens here

After power washing and once surfaces are dry, carefully inspect the siding for any remaining areas where paint has significantly peeled or is loose. The video highlights a specific type of 'glorified cardboard siding' (likely hardboard or engineered wood siding) that is prone to peeling. For these identified areas, use a sturdy wire brush to manually scrape off all compromised or failing paint. Focus on thorough removal to ensure no loose paint can interfere with new paint adhesion.

Goal: Remove all loose and peeling paint from the siding

What they say

This is Chris in Boise. In this video, we're actually working on prepping an exterior of a small home. And as you can see over here, the siding after power washing has a lot of the paint that actually has come off. And it's not an actual wood siding. It's just um a wood material. It's basically just a glorified cardboard sighting is what it is. And where all this this um missing paint is where it's all come off, we're actually going around and we're wire brushing it and using medium sanding sponges and get all the loose paint off. Just going along here, wire brushing the bottoms of them.
