Great video. I really like seeing details of your projects and you showed a lot of them.Excellent. I think it's above and beyond what many others would do. Love the fact you prime above the windows and door jams.

Hi Chris. I am a decorating lecturer from England and I have been watching you videos for a while.now. I think they are excellent. Keep them coming.

I am a maintenance painter and just started into this trade for about 7 years now. I want to take the time and say thanks for all the tips because I don't normally paint houses and all your videos have helped out a lot! I am doing a house now and I have been watching your videos to help me along the way! It has really helped out! Thanks again Bud! Looking forward to seeing more if your vids! Keep up the great work!

Hi Chris, thanks for the great video. What type of caulking did you use on this video. There are so many choices, just wondering, Thanks.

@gmrrnracr 6 лет назад

Chris I’m curious can you paint vinyl siding? I’m not sure if it’s cost effective to just replace the vinyl or paint faded vinyl siding. Thank you for showing prep work! You have plenty of application and product videos but would love more preparation videos. Thanks for all the help

@underpaidsucka 9 лет назад

Hey Chris. I like that peel bond stuff and I'm trying to convince my boss to use it but he is all about exterior oil primers. He says the waterborne doesn't block the tannin from coming through, especially on cedar, like an oil does. I'm sick of using nasty oil.

Good info, thanks Brother. Do I use a Sand Eater for 1940's bumpy style stucco. or would that jus tare the sand paper up. Also what's the type of compound called that I would use to seal cracks and chips in the stucco? Can you recommend a good exterior pain that is durable and last. Thank brother, stay safe, stay healthy, stay blessed.

@kalev0avraham 9 лет назад

Hey boss, I just started on a painting crew, the lead dog said he wouldn't let me paint until I became really skilled and fast at caulking, sanding, and puttying. Do you have any videos on Caulking and how to make it look better and faster ??? As well as sanding and puttying ? Caulking is the task he stresses most right now.

Chris seen your mug shot in the sherwin-Williams pro mailer. Congrats! This video reminded of something that haven't heard from you I don't think? Do you do repairs? (Carpentry) We do a little of everything which gets us a lot of repeat Work from our regular customers but if you main focus is painting. Does that just slow You down? What's you take on this? Thanks

@matthewcendejastv 2 года назад

I’ve seen some people use a spray to seal in paint that is chipping. Is there a spray to seal and hold cracks and chips so it doesn’t spread or crack after the new paint is on?

Any advice on estimating exterior painting? Would be greatly appreciated... I am a new painting business and having a bit of trouble finding an estimating system that is easy and accurate . I am out of Massachusetts and lots of exterior jobs have a ton of paint scraping

@algreen1 9 лет назад

Hi Chris, Just wanted to be sure about one thing, would you just paint over all the areas you caulked and leave it there? Or do you use it as masking in some areas? Seemed like you were intending to leave it there. Nice job as always, the music was a bit loud at points as I'd turned up my audio to hear you speak then got surprised. Thanks for the tips!

Hey brother, how are you? I'm wondering how much caulk I should get to paint a 1500 sq. ft. exterior Jim Walter home (You probably don't have Jim Walter homes where you are). Never-the-less, is there a formula you use to do estimates on that. I always enjoy your vids, thanks, Robert

@blakeschwartz1637 8 месяцев назад

Do you ever power wash if there’s chipping paint?

@JR-qz3zt 5 лет назад

Question. Between my house and shop, I have 2300 sq ft. Older 10" lap siding. (One story but, I live on a slope so, the back side of my house is basically 1-1/2 storiesish if that helps. Definitely going to have to get a 20' extension ladder) I used to paint cars for 7 years so I totally understand that good prep makes for a good paint job. Now, my question, how long would it take your least talented caulker to caulk that much SQ footage? Give or take a day. Btw, I hate painting houses. Lol. However, this is my first house I've bought and I'm not big on half assing stuff. Especially when I am going to be out this much $$!! I sure hope you reply. My real job keeps me pretty busy so I have a very small time period to work with if I want it done this year. Thanks in advance.

@doobysnacks8094 8 лет назад

Besides appearance, is there a compelling reason to caulk where the soffit meets the fascia? I also notice that you didn't mention caulking where the frieze meets the soffit. Are there ventilation issues to account for? I guess I could caulk the fascia/soffit joint, merely to prevent water from getting up there the next time it's washed; otherwise, I tend to caulk only the frieze/soffit joint, because I want the fascia to be able to drain from both front and back in case of water intrusion. Am I wrong here, or is it a preference thing?

@doobysnacks8094 8 лет назад

+The Idaho Painter Ok. I figured you had already accounted for any drying-and-drainage contingencies in the cladding etc. And of course you did, because you guys are top pros. Thanks for the vids.

@rickferr1546 4 года назад

What’s the name of that caulking? Will it shrink ? Is that caulking you use good for the bottom of the garage frames close to concrete or will it shrink / crack

@da2903 6 лет назад

I had the hardest time caulking the the house, the caulk was everywhere and I tried cutting a smaller opening on the caulk and then there wasn't enough caulking coming out. I had to keep changing my gloves and I had to have a bucket of water to wash all that caulking off. I made a big mess. I'd rather build a transmission. Where did I go wrong?

@Idahopainter 6 лет назад

Takes practice, make sure you wipe the excess caulking off with your finger or rag

@countrycarl6233 4 года назад

A couple of things , didn't you skip the pressure washing as a first step,and how are you able to keep clean lines while caulking using that glove I would assume it would Gunk up overtime even if you do wipe it with a wet rag,my next thing is you calking all of the nail holes when caulking shrinks wouldn't using exterior spackling that doesn't shrink make more since and you should really think about getting a dripless caulking other than that my friend you do a great job lol

@70Shocktower 6 лет назад

Using Behr exterior flat with primer mixed , do you recommend a primer coat under that ?

@Idahopainter 6 лет назад

We do not usually use primer unless it is new construction, paint and primer mixed is highly not recommended.

@davidbahr9068 4 года назад

You can't sand caulk. The excess you see is necessary for the caulk to hold because of shrinkage.
