Will this cure peeling paint issue?

I've never seen anybody cap the window sash and grills, just the frame, so to answer your question, no it's not going to satisfy that appraiser.

He would cap the frame of the window.

This kind of thing is fine (minus the graffiti, LOL)

This....probably will fail

I just tried to post a link so you can see the photo of the worst window we are working with, but, it won't let me post. Is there another way I can send you the photo?

Believe it or not there is at least one state board case I've read where an appraiser was charged with making unreasonable repair demands to collect the re-inspection fee.

She presented a credible defense and the charge was vacated.

My attorney thinks that is the case here. The appraiser has come out for re-inspection twice, however, he comes at his own free will and doesn't schedule appointments even though we have requested he did. We find out after he has been at the property. In addition, the reports all show the same photo's - the photo's he has in his report are not the photo's of the windows since work has been completed. Whenever we try to contact him he never responds and anytime he does respond to our lender is by e-mail and says that "photo's are a courtesy and painting over peeling paint doesn't cure the problem." He hasn't given us an opportunity to explain what the contractor has told us, he can't scrape every inch of the window and sanding is not ideal in this case either. I don't know what to do. This is beyond frustrating!

If the peeling portion of the paint it scraped and is no longer falling off, then encapsulating it does cure the problem. If you can take your finger nail and flick the paint off, then there's still a problem. You couldn't do that on the first photo I painted, but you could on the second photo.

I assume we are talking about pre 1978 "lead paint"? If so, your contractor does not appear up to the task. Many states are now requiring certification of anyone involved in repair or painting of surfaces containing lead paint. Doesn't sound like your painter is up to speed. MHO.

The peeling paint that was there is encapsulated. I cannot flick off any paint - it looks nothing like the 2nd photo you posted. Do you have something that states what would satisfy the peeling paint issue? Any guidelines that coincide with what you are saying? We still might cap the frames of the windows before we have him back out. The contractor thinks that's the best solution.
