        "text": "You should not paint directly over bathroom mold or peeling paint. Applying fresh paint over active mold or loose, flaking layers traps moisture underneath, which causes the new paint to bubble and allows fungus to spread. Before any color goes on the wall, HH Remodeling scrapes away peeling layers, treats surface mildew, and patches or replaces damaged drywall sections. Once the substrate is clean, dry, and sanded flat, applying a dedicated moisture-sealing primer creates a stable foundation that prevents future peeling and stops old stains from bleeding through.",
