I took all of your advice, it took me 2 months.. bad weather and exhaustion, also a 86 year old house lots of chipping , sanding cleaning... and peel bonding... and my very first time exterior house painting. I really appreciate all your help, it worked out great and couldn’t have done it with out you.
If the house is older and it’s crusty to the max then it would take a solo painter a week or more to paint it and the price is more then most customers want to pay. You saved yourself a bunch
@@lexandersantana8089 yes and I took my time with it. 1/2 the day usually was moving ladders. LOL I’m a petite woman so it was a workout and 1/2 and I really wanted to do a good job. So far happy with the results and this neighborhood it’s difficult to get good service. Then they usually they do a 1/2 assed job so this is why i decided if I want something done right do it my self. Chris gave me the confidence I can get it done!! I watched all his vids.... :) thank you, its kind of fun and painful at the same time.
Chris you have taught me to enjoy painting again and also explore using different products. I would use the same stuff over and over again but you have opened the door to a different side of this industry that never even crossed my mind. Thanks for all that you do.
Man I just wanna thank you, just by seeing this video inspires me to do better not only with my work but as a person as an individual once I get that going everting starts to fall into place like performing better at jobs and keeping customers happy. Thnk you sir
Speed comes later bud! First is all about preparing and prep work then paint it as if it was your own home:-) experience will bring the speed trust me on this!
Love your shows. I had one fall from a ladder power washing a house, I had to set up my ladder on a brick patio with moss covering the brick the owners loved.. Needless to say my ladder slid from under me on the moss when it got wet, I also was not injured I had slight swelling with my knees as they slipped through the rung. I finished the power washing but had to take a day off to recover...
Good advice with the lader. I'm still learning a ton ald your videos are helping me plenty, the biggest problem for now ate ceilings, never to get without marks on sunlight. But with time I will get better 😉
So do you guys recommend sanding after first coat on a house with traditional siding? Will that make the finish coat adhere better? I typically dont but was curious if you do
Hi Chris! Great job! I use PPG Timeless paint. It goes on 3 to 4 mil thickness. Many people ask me what brand of paint do I use? Pittsburg Paint PPG Manor hall. I normally recommend 2 coats! Cheers The gooseneck guy! Don
Not many real wood houses out there ? Also most re-paints involving cedar be it claps or shakes have ton of prep work and chalking. We don’t many of any hardi plank homes here. Tried PPG Timeless exterior out years ago it does spray awesome. Unfortunately we don’t buy paint at big box stores we like to support small local independent suppliers. Good video as usual...
Chris what do I need to type to find the ladder adjustments you installed on your ladder? I never knew they had these and where to you buy them? Online or local place?
Honest question, I sprayed a huge front part of my weatherboard house second coat and realised I missed a part. Do I have to respray the whole thing or can I brush as I’m worried brushing will be a different texture? Any advice?
Oh yeah once you’ve rode a ladder down the side of a house after it kicked out on you, it kicks in something inside you and you never let it happen again. Most of the time when I’m on grass even with my spikes kicked out I will pound a crowbar into the ground over the bottom rung for extra assurance and I will try to tie off to something when I’m on concrete or a gravel driveway..lol
@@Idahopainter thank you! I just bought some tools from your shop, I have 22 and I’m starting my painting business and your videos have helped me a lot 🙏🏻 thank you

Video's are awesome. Just a wealth of experience and knowledge. Really appreciate them. Dig your new store a well.
Thanks for your support
Great video. You’re way faster then I am I get intimidated with jobs like this because I know I can’t paint as fast
You don’t need to be fast

I use a huge 24 ft extension wand
Love your content Chris

Nice job do you do any wood work repairs before painting the exterior of a house.
We do
What paints and stains (brands) do you use the most for exteriors, interiors and what do you recomend?
So do you guys recommend sanding after first coat on a house with traditional siding? Will that make the finish coat adhere better? I typically dont but was curious if you do
Hey Chris. Where can I get that grey pants to buy?
Look in my store
@@Idahopainter thank you.
Hi Chris! Great job! I use PPG Timeless paint. It goes on 3 to 4 mil thickness. Many people ask me what brand of paint do I use? Pittsburg Paint PPG Manor hall. I normally recommend 2 coats! Cheers The gooseneck guy! Don
Good paint
Hi. What type of paint do you recommend for basketball lines on concrete floor? Latex, oil based etc. And what brand? Thanks!
Porch and floor enamel
If you were to paint the metal fascia would you have to prime it first? Thanks
It would be smart to spray with can primer. Otherwise it could start flaking sooner than the rest
Depends on the condition it’s in

yep
Chris what do I need to type to find the ladder adjustments you installed on your ladder? I never knew they had these and where to you buy them? Online or local place?
Werner ladder levelers. I have a video that shows installation and where I got them
You dnt seem to sand much, is it just in good condition, already done, or a paint additive???,
We do where nexessary
Honest question, I sprayed a huge front part of my weatherboard house second coat and realised I missed a part. Do I have to respray the whole thing or can I brush as I’m worried brushing will be a different texture? Any advice?
Respray
Just wondering cause I know this was a free job for the veteran but what would you have charged cash to paint this house if he was a paying customer?
He said in another video 3400
3400
How long do you allow between coats on the trim in order to finish in two days?
As soon as it is dry to the touch
In hawaii we full oil prime on every house
So Question Do you count your power washing day as a man day,
It took me one hour
@@Idahopainter understand, Do you count that as a man day, I always wait the next day before I start prep,

Yep
Where are videos 1 & 2?
They are up
What happened to your helpers/painters? Can somebody tell me ?
In a previous video he said he sold his company to journeyman John
@@lexandersantana8089 thank you! Do you know which video?
I sold my painting company to work alone.
@@Idahopainter thank you! I just bought some tools from your shop, I have 22 and I’m starting my painting business and your videos have helped me a lot 🙏🏻 thank you
