Painting concrete walls

I would like to get some pointers so I can get the best result possible on this paint job of the exterior of the house. I have already contracted with a company for the paint job, and they have already pressure washed the exterior. I asked them to hold off with the prime and paint, because I needed to do some repairs. Repairs included some stucco patches, applying new window sealant etc... Two weeks I hired someone to do the stucco repair. As you know down here in Miami, it practically rains every day. I spoke with the stucco guy the day before, and expressed my concerns about the rain. He said no problem, I will come early and rain doesn't usually hit us in the afternoon. We scheduled to meet early, but he was late, then he had to run to Home Depot to buy materials, by the time he started it was already 11am. I asked him if he should start the next day, he didn't want to, said he would add "accelerant" into the mix and they will dry quick. By 3pm he was about 70% done and the sky was dark. By 4pm the rain was coming down and he was done. He wanted to be paid because he is finished but I was concerned about the rain washing off. Nonetheless he said it should be OK and he will come back if there is an issue. I paid him and when the rain stopped at 6pm, I went outside and along two walls the stucco was washed off. On the two walls he did first, it looked OK except the "feathering" was gone, left with a more textured finished than intended. I called him and traded text messages back and forth, and after a week of constant reminders he came back, but had to charge me additional $ to finish the job because "the weather is not his fault". Now I will say no one has control over the weather but he was the one who picked the day and time to do the job and it was not optimum. Furthermore, the two walls where his feathering wore off, he now said they "LOOK FINE", but to me, they don't. I end up paying him additional $ to fix the problem, and the end result is only marginally better then my original conditions. Sigh... Sorry for getting off topic here, but my point is, now I am ready for the painters to come back to prime and paint. Yet it rains almost every afternoon. Is there anything I can do, to prevent the same thing happening to me that happened with the stucco job? Or just trust the painters to do the right thing? By the way, the painters told me, the reason my current paint peeling off, is because the last guy who painted it, did it when the wall was wet. So I am trying to avoid another disaster from happening.

I moved into my flat and as I am unwell it's hard for me to decorate council will not help me. I have shed paint on my doors and skirting boards. the doors are painted brown council won't help with it. other skirting boards painted orange and even blue, the walls are basically a hotch potch of colours I am devastated they say do it yourself. I am unsure how to remove the paint. I also have noticeable hole sin walls and the paint they put before I moved in is peeling. even my outer door has air coming through it and yes, council says not our issue fix yourself. I have no one to help me don't know how t do that. I don't have a draft excluder on letter box because it is too big for one. I can't find one to fit it so air comes in through winter and left with a bad cough. This place needs bull dozing. I miss my old home don't want to live here no choice. The walls are up and down and do really need a pro to fix it. I can't afford it. what can I do? how can I remove:wall: the brown shed paint from doors and walls. remove the blue paint the orange remove the peeling paint off walls. it's a nightmare. I need dom littlewoods team to fix it all.
