Painted my 9 year old house and the paint peeled off, down to drywall, when tape was removed. how to fix it?

Question

I painted the foyer and hallway upstairs burgandy. Home Depot told me to prime the walls first with dark primer, so I did.
The paint peeled off in large sections down to the dry wall when we removed the tape. The walls are uneven and I know I need to fix this before I can put my place up for sale. Help it is a nightmare!

Answer 1

well it's either chemical problem such as paint not sticking due to wall paper glue not fully removed from the wall ( i have this problem sorting it out now) I would recommend yoiu get a plasterer in to look at the problem i recommend you clea the walls firstly again and then when he plasters over it he will make it beautifully smooth with a special coat of primer and then plaster. The primer he uses will stop the plaster from bubbling which I would note that most( of my walls are fine now only two small patches have truly bubulled, but they haven't popped yet so here's hoping I'm right) but I would recommened plastering it is the best option I spent £1000 on four rooms to be plastered including ceilings.

Answer 2

it sounds as though the problem is that when using latex paint on taped walls ,the tape MUST be removed before the paint dries ,once dried ,pulling off the tape becomes a nightmare because the paint on the wall & tape become one surface when dry ,so remove tape as soon as you can

Answer 3

did you use painters tape or duct tape, my friend? i recomend painters tape. i've never heard of such a thing.unless i missunderstood you're question.
