Textured house paint didn't hold up
In 1991, I had my house texture-coated by East Coast Manufacturing. The salesperson assured me that it was bonded by high pressure and would not crack or peel. More than three years ago, the paint (Tex-Cote) began cracking and peeling. I have made several phone calls to East Coast Manufacturing, but my requests for repairs have gone unanswered. The last time I spoke to East Coast Manufacturing, I was told it had subcontracted the work to another company that had gone out of business. Now it claims it can do nothing about it.
