- In this video, I give my front concrete stairs a makeover. I replace some rotted trim boards then pressure wash and paint the stairs. I also add a little decor.

Thanks for watching! 😃
OMG a man who cleans up after himself...I'm in love!
😀 Thanks for checking out the video!
Lol some of us do like to clean :)
Me too
Mona Me . Me too lol
My husband is so clean that I'm too spoiled for a slacker. 😆
I learned a lot from watching you. My husband was a carpenter and did all those things but he died a few years ago now it is left up to me to repair things or hire someone to do the projects so seeing someone doing things I need to do gives me a lot of inspiration. You did a great job and I enjoyed your video very much.
Thank you Beverly, I am honored to hear you are inspired! I hope my videos help out. I am happy you stumbled across my channel!
GOD ALMIGHTY bless and protect you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I as well get motivated and love remodeling videos!!!
Gives you the confidence to know you can do it. ❤❤
I'm so sorry Ms. Beverly. I believe in you! You got this ❤
Huge boost in curb appeal with a relatively small project! Now it just needs a matching handrail!
This video was oddly satisfying. My OCD was like what is he going to do with that rot under the door and you just shut me up! Whenever I do projects, I pay close attention to detail and people say that I am a perfectionist, but what good is it to do something and it's not your best work?
Haha same.. It has to be aestathically pleasing to the eye
👏👏👏Omg yes!!! Well said!!
Yes!
2710Pocahontas , I think it was the music because while I was watching this I started working out my biceps and triceps!!! Great video, eh?! 😊😊
Is it me or does the walk way need pavers so that the stairs don't get too dirty?
A little elbow grease and paint (with unexpected rain) made such a difference. It will be easier to see those steps in the dark once winter sets in. For a temporary spruce up I think it made a world of difference. First impression walking up to your door just shot up exponentially. Thank you for sharing this. Love it.
Thank you Robin!
I love a man who knows how to use his hands. Good work. 🥂✌👍⭐
😃🙏👍 Thank you!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair ✌🍻
Why am I using the time on my day off to watch stairs get cleaned
The real question is... why not? 😂 Thanks for watching man!
Corona virus...freaking Covid-f**king 19😄😄😄
Carlos Hernandez hahaha right
@@be-realtv5525 Yep this is what I'm doing in Fu**ing quarantine while eating an unhealthy amount of snacks.. FUN!
curious? the gnomes don't do it for you, ha ha ha
Nice dude! Story of my life one project turns into three or four. 🤣
Haha yup! Thanks for checking out the video as always Andy!
I appreciate that you repaired the steps with concrete. I've seen a lot of people just throw some paint on it and not look back. Also I just love your finished master bedroom, the floors and built-ins are top notch. keep up the home improvement series!
Thank you so much, Christy! I really appreciate it!!
Maybe using a white with a gray undertone would've been better? I agree tho, I'd totally rip out those steps and replace with a wood porch, along with the door
Ok so yeah, I’m just obsessively binge watching your work now😅this came out really pretty. Simple elegance at its best❤️
I’m glad you fixed it. Don’t be afraid to change your plans. If after painting it’s just to bright, try a soft grey or beige to be similar to the house color. 2 coats of white and one of color isn’t to much.😉♥️
Great point! Thank you!!
Nice job! I would like to see a porch surround those lonely stairs.
Love how the time lapse is in sync with the music
Something so simple makes it look so much better
Thanks for checking it out!
Omg, I love “before & after” projects....awesome job! 👍🏼
Thank you for checking it out!
Me too...alway makes you wanna try to do something🙋🏾♀️
Remarkable improvement. A little literally goes a long way. Hey - I can watch someone work all day long. Great job!
Typical example of fixing one issue and it creates or highlights another... Looks great
What a great job you did. Plus, this helped stop my panic attack. And the plants and pots look beautiful. Thank you x
Wow. That is fantastic. Thank you for watching!!
Yass...vacuum that grass !!!! Lol, but yeah these are my favorite...I'm really looking forward to the porch/deck video :)
Haha my neighbors really must think I am nuts. Not only do I vacuum the grass but I film myself doing it haha. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair lol that's awesome ..and it qas very entertaining and informative as usual so thank you sir!
Courtney Stage haha call me crazy but I always shop vac my grass cuz it looks sooooooo much nicer after. You don’t realize all the depri that gets on your lawn. My neighbors prob think I am nuts!! Lol
Me too. Still can't even get over the BR reno.
Wow. You have to be the most organized, clean behind yourself man I've ever seen. You did a fantastic job! The white looks awesome against the grey!
Thanks, Rachel! I like a tidy workspace! 😀 Thanks for checking out the video!
Nice job ! I was going to say something about the frame of the door, but you already beat me to it ! I was thinking flowers on the steps too! Great minds think alike. 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
Beautiful!! Wow that rain was good because you fixed it up all. I love your show!! Yes a front deck!!
Thank you for watching. I know you watch all of my videos and I really appreciate it!
I just got my new weekend project. Your house looks like my house I was having buyers remorse but I think 🤔 it’s going to be ok
U can do it!!👏👏
It's a blessing
It will be ok. You will always find a way to make it work. Thanks so much for checking out my channel and the fact I made you feel a bit better about your purchase makes me feel amazing. So, thank you for that too!!
You'll be ok tyra. One step at a time. Im new to home ownership(2yrs now). Make yourself a list and check them off one at a time as things get completed. Its a great feeling. Head up girl!
Thank you
Thank you dearly.. I was giving some just like this in great condition and never once thought of painting them ,I placed them at my she shed ..my next stay home project ..awesome job.
Beautiful! I just did this to my front porch last spring! Love freshly painted porches!
I find power washing videos so satisfying. I want that 🤣
It's actually really fun and satisfying while power washing too! You should get one!
I'm the same about "dirty" Dirt ! Ha ha love your work. Beautiful !
Thank you!
Matt, you always seem to get it right! You can’t stand the flaws! Beautiful job. I know when you do the deck it will be gorgeous!
Wow, it looks so much better. I have similar concrete steps what are all chipped and stained. You've inspired me to just try exactly what you did. Looking forward to learning a lot more, thanks!
I need this guy to fix my life damn...
Amazing what a little cleaning and paint can do!!
Yes! Thanks for checking out the video!
Love it!! U did great DIY!! We just did the same on our front porch. We used a paint calked Dry loc!! Its very thick and amazing!!
Gosh I love guys who can do DIY jobs thoroughly and use multiple tools this made a big difference to the look of your property well done 👏👏
😁😬 Thanks for watching!
This video was oddly relaxing and satisfying. Lol 😂
Loved it!
Haha it is very satisfying for me now that it is fixed. Thanks for watching!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair
If possible, would love to see you do a flip house or some sort of large-scale project. 💙
Great job! Super impressive. Even with the added work, still good bang for your buck.
Thanks Tari! And thanks for watching!
An outdoor mirror, Lol, I saw the leaves shadow on the steps with the new coat of paint while the sun was rising impressive.
Haha Thanks for checking out the video, Meseret!
Wow! What a difference. Looks beautiful. We could not do without our power washer. I think it's a must have when you own a house. Thank you for another great video. I always learn something new. 😃
A pressure washer is a must for sure! Thank you for being such a fan. I appreciate you watching all of my videos!
Credits to your facelift! At least you Do Things! 👏
😀 Thanks Gina!!
Can we see an update in a month how the stairs look? I had mine redone with some grey pavers, and the dirt is noticeable. I'm curious as to how all the crap will show on white stairs.
I don't think it looks good. I painted my concrete stairs blue and the dirt really shows.
You have to paint the stairs a dirt color and then no problem! :D
@@ninemilliondollars I see bird shit on them all the time. 😅
I thoroughly enjoyed this! He actually cleaned up every step of the way.....
This is a great idea, I’m going to do this when spring comes around again. Great job
I enjoyed watching this, I need to do mine some day, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for watching!
looks nice..i would have chosen a color other than white..i learned from doing my own steps..later chose a color..'sandy dune'..also i placed two huge plastic pots from home depot on the steps..painted terra cotta..also learned..ceramic pots break in the winter. added a flowering shrub to the pots..good job.
Glad I found this; great video includes alot! Just finished painting exterior foundation and wondered if step needed a rejuvenation. Liked how every stage is done and shown meticulously but still fast forward to get a sense of overall flow of each stage. Awesome to include cleaning up b/c some people don't use a drop cloth for smaller projects or odd corners..
It looks great! I second that, what a man! A tree and complete professional. Thanks for sharing.
That looks great! Nice job and video, thanks😃
Thank you!!
Imagin Dirty shoes entering house on a rainy day.
I know haha . Thanks for checking out the video!
I imagine that it isn't a door that is normally used...am I wrong? I would think that if it were, there'd be a path leading to it...not pretty grass
You can put sealer for the paint; would last a long time and don’t have to worry raining day.
Yep they're gonna get dirty fast even just from things in the air. Definitely would have gone with a darker grey that complimented the house colors.
@@Sabrinasee02 He said he's tearing it all out eventually anyway.
This guy is All in One. Electrician, plumber, architect, carpenter...each n everything 🔥👏👏
Beautiful transformation! Really enjoyed watching this video! Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Looks nice but wouldn't a piece of guttering over the door be helpful, maybe with a rain chain?
Agreed. That's probably why the wood at the front door was rotted at the bottom.
I especially enjoyed the part where you raked up all that crap and didn’t just leave it there to rot like a garbage human. Looks amazing!
Now I am encouraged to fix up an old concrete enclosure. Great results with the pressure washer.
This is fantastic. Look at the difference.
Thanks so much for checking it out!
Great job! Need you to come to my house and give me a hand. I started a new project and think I'm in a little over my head. I get way too confident after watching some of these videos 😂
Haha 😂 Thats ok. You just got to go for it! Thanks for checking out the video!
Looks Good! 🌸💜👍
Thank you!
What a huge difference that made. Your entry looks so beautiful and sophisticated now. Love it! 💖
Nice esp with the flowers and door mat!! 👍
Thanks! And thanks for checking it out!
Great job! It turned beautiful! New sube here!
Thank you! And thank you for subscribing!
Darn rain! Always when you are doing something outside. Looks great! I’d recommend railing (for us little old ladies👵🏻).
Honestly have never seen anyone vacuum the lawn. 😉🥰
It does rain at the worst times! I am planning on doing a railing in the future! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair you should install a gutter system too...
Wow I was really impressed. It came out great. Loved the before and after photos.
Excellent. Thank you and thanks for checking out the video!
Love it! It looks really good for such a small porch.
Good job
Thank you!
At least it was a shop-vac! ;-)
I love a man who is handy around the house and gets down on all fours to get his hands dirty to do a job and I love how this guy is really knowledgeable about job he is doing
That's what one quality I love in a guy
The video.was awesomeeeeee xxx

Watching you is like Im ( grooming ) myself towards action..

Wow! Looks amazing. I love the vacuum technique!
Looks so god. My mom vacuums her driveway all the time haha . And you know what it looks awesome
Lol, when I imagine his neighbor watching him Vaccume the lawn
😂 Trust me, I pictured them staring at me all confused haha Thanks for checking out the video!
Hey , i hope you see this but just so you know
When painting concrete you have to wait for concrete to fully cure which is 30 days
Second, you must let the concrete be fully dry otherwise there will be moisture trapped in the pores of the concrete
Third , if the concrete is pores then more than likely you can prime and then paint BUT IF its smooth
You MUST CLEAN AND ETCH
So the pores of the concrete can become rough
Then prime and then paint
But if its a temporary fix then it doesnt matter LOL
temporary fix exactly. Have fun doing that next year, and year after etcetera!
Samantha Skipper lmaoo
Think he's more of a bodger than a fixer tbf turned a 2 hour job into a two dayer
Brilliant job, initially thought the stairs were going to crumble 😲😲 jet wash powerful thing! Also loved the way you proper fixed under the door- no patch working here 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks, K!
Did this to the rental property I live in I didn't have a power washer just some bleach water and old broom but paint job did the place so much better.
You should have painted the inside of the steps, the same color as the house! ....that would have looked really nice i think! ....otherwise, great job!!!
Thank you and thank you for the feedback!
I was thinking that too
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Shade or two darker gray would be just right.
I would have gone with gray, but beautiful.
Nicely done. I didn’t mind it bright and when the sun shone on the steps, it looked so good.
Thanks, Nisha!!
WOW! I could watch your Time-Lapse videos for hours! It is so smoothing especially for my OCD on cleaning :) I was not sure about white BUT it turned out so perfectly. Now I want to go paint something... lol. Thanks for sharing these awesome videos. Hope you keep adding more!!
