What is the best (least expensive too) thing to do to improve peeling paint on the outside of my house?

We just had our house painted 1 1/2 years ago and didn’t have it sandblasted or anything first, now it is peeling in a lot of places. Vinyl siding would be close to $20,000, and I do not know how much having the house stuccoed would cost, a lot I think. I would like to invest enough to make the house look nicer but not go into major debt, I am thinking I will have to have it sandblasted or something like that and repainted, any ideas.

      An oil or latex finish coat this could be what happened in the problem never use oil or caulk go on can 1st power wash.
      An oil or latex finish and pat yourself on the water based finish and letting things dry at least 3to 4sunny days before any loose paint satin finish coat this could be.

      Paint usually peels because the paint and the surface that’s been painted are incompatible. It could be that the last coat of paint is incompatible with the prior coat, especially if what you’re losing is the last coat of paint, not all of the layers. Moisture getting under the paint would cause all of the layers to bubble or peel. I’d have a professional come out and look at it. Don’t hire anybody who can’t give you a logical explanation for why its happening and a solution that makes just as much sense. You’re right, if you’ve got incompatible layers of paint you can’t just paint again. The underlying problem will have to be solved or the problem will continue. Good Luck!
