Jeff, after seeing contractors botch fine details in one of my rental properties I decided to get off my butt, and install 5 interior doors, kitchen tile, closet doors door and window casing based on your tutorials. You've saved me alot of $ and taught me some great stuff thank you!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers Mike happy to help!

[@apcolleen]

Thank you for looking after your tenants. We bought a former rental last year and they "fixed" a chair sized hole in the drywall (there were several large "repairs") by stretching drywall mesh over the hole and gobbing on plaster in what looked to be two coats. I went to sand it flat and my hand went through it. Our last place had no insulation and we didnt know it. They sent out a tech to see why my stove was shocking me and why we kept losing electronics and when it rained more than 2 inches we just unplugged anything critical. They did replace most of the insulation but they stopped where the hose couldnt reach... over hte masther bedroom... and never fixed the stove. Weve been in the new house a year and I still jump sometimes when i touch a pan but its usually static because we have a glass top stove lol

Here's a tip on how to paint an entire door in one shot. Take 2 pieces of scrap lumber (2x or 1x) around 3' to 4' long. Drive a wood screw through the center of each piece of scrap lumber into the underside of the bottom rail of the door, a few inches in from each edge. Now you can stand the door up in the middle of the room, garage, driveway, etc. and paint all sides at one time.

[@richardlug6139]

"If you're gonna spend good money, have good technique" is words to live by for any professional or hobbiest, for darn near anything. I learned this with film when I started photography, and again when I started other hobbies, particularly woodworking. Companies sell schlock to make you feel you can skip the technique, but in the end you can't.

Hi, I just found your channel. Back in the late 1970s, I worked for a remodeling company to put myself through college. Over the decades, I've done quite a bit of remodeling to our home. My specialty was painting, particularly the "hard jobs" like French doors or multi-pane windows. Never used tape and never had runs. I was taught to never paint out of the can but to always use a paint bucket (and a quality sash brush). You don't want to scrape the paint off of your brush using the rim of the paint can (or bucket). Instead, dab the brush about an inch deep into the paint and gently tap each side of the brush against the side of the bucket. This can keep you from forcing paint well up into your brush and ruining an expensive brush. Having a limited amount of paint in a paint bucket is easier to work with (easier to hold for an extended time), and if you ever drop it, it's less paint to clean up.

[@knowbody4903]

I've done the tap method as you suggest Chris... (Was taught by a professional painter).... I now use Jeff's method, I work faster because I can load more paint in the brush and the outside the brush is nearly "dry". I'm not a pro, but I do a lot of renos. I meticulously Clean my brushes and I do notice more paint in the high bristles.

[@jamesfinney8841]

I've been taught by pros as well and they would paint out of the can sometimes. It doesn't really ruin the brush to dip the brush too far in. You can always wire brush the dried paint off and get it clean again. I've worked several different comapnies and they all have their way of doing things. Some better than others

[@yvonnesmith2578]

Confused about the part in the video where he said rolling the paint on smooth finishes will always give a smoother texture. I always heard the ultra smooth - almost enamel feel on cabinets and trim could only be achieved with a good sprayer.

So next time someone says it just needs a fresh coat of paint....you can laugh knowing its a monumental task,

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Jeff, I have renovated more houses than I care to remember but, the one thing I can say without a doubt is that every hinge I have removed has been caked in paint. Some of them have been so bad that the door refused to close. I always tell people not to paint the hinges but it falls on deaf ears.

[@adamritchey4209]

This is perfect timing. Tomorrow I'm going to paint all the trim I replaced in the whole 1st floor of my house. I watched your original video on this, but the refresher is wonderful.

I never was comfortable with DIY painting; but after watching your videos (sometimes repeatedly), I’ve tackled a bathroom remodel, have plans to install LVP, and will be refreshing and updating the rest of my home. Many thanks from your neighbor to the south!

When i caulk I always carry a little cup of water and an artist brush, then I dip my finger before I wipe the caulking.

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Thank you for another awesome video! Great comparison of brushing and rolling vs. spraying. You are bang on with spending more on QUALITY paint vs the low end paint. The time you save on (labour cost) painting extra coats is well worth it. You can also really see the difference when the paint starts to atomize and dry, so much better quality. Also, you will see the big difference when you ever need to clean, better quality cleans so much easier and is way more durable. I really cannot tell you how much better the end result is using a sprayer. We just finished our entire kitchen cabinets and backsplash using a HomeRight Super Finish Max using Sherwin Williams UltraBond Primer and Classic Pro Gloss. A little tip is to have some carboard to test spray and see how the droplets are coming out of the sprayer before you start.

[@Bluefudge1]

Your honesty and no bullshit style is what gets me hooked to your content!

[@teddepalma8057]

Jeff, this kind of content is GOLD. Those of us who've done a few jobs like this and are looking for ways for a more high-quality result love these kinds of tips and tricks. Since you asked, I've had good results doing interior painting with some of the Sherwin-Williams products sold at Lowes. About $30 a gallon, doesn't sag, decent coverage, easy clean-up. You do get what you pay for, but not all the big box paints suck, IMHO. I like to prime first with Zinser 1-2-3 (cheaper than paint) High quality brushes and rollers and a well-prepped surface are a must.

Thank you Jeff, I always struggled a bit with getting good results with doors, this was great.

[@nicholasimhoff9230]

I paint lots of doors and trim, you covered it all! One tip I've found for production painting doors is to stand them all upright in the garage, screwed together with shims at the top, in a French door pattern. Then paint all four sides at once, with the HVLP gun, or, for paint grade doors, with my little Titan airless, but using an HVLP tip.. perfect control

[@matthewallen8007]

I sprayed a door and mixed in a product called “Flood” along with water. It made the paint flatten out beautifully with no eggshell look whatsoever. I’m thinking of painting my cabinets the same way. Almost factory like finish.

Great tip!

[@adamkorekach9936]

Flood is a great product! Also, for doing cabinets in a kitchen, try a product from Benjamin Moore called “Advance” alkyd paint. Premium quality, waterborne, highly durable and easy clean up. I just sprayed a dozen interior doors with my Graco sprayer and it came out beautifully.

[@jackt6112]

Thanks for the advice as to where to buy paint. He used to say he hated painting, but whenever he was laid off as a UAW factory worker, he would immediately advertise and quote painting, and one time went to work for a large company. My dad always bought his paint at the paint store like you do, but I never thought there might be a particular reason. The only thing I remember was one time after quoting a residential customer, and when the job started the customer coming back with how they got a "better deal" on the paint, was that he said he could no longer do it for that price. He told me, "Because that stuff is like painting with ink. It won't even cover in 3 coats and he isn't done buying paint like he thinks he is either." Besides rollers, he had a huge brush too. The paint crew company asked him how he could swing that thing and asked where he got a brush that big, and that it was the size of a glue brush. (whatever that is) I've never seen one that big in a store. He didn't like work for the company because he said the made him paint in a way that couldn't do a good job. I don't know how he could hold his hand over his head like that for that long with the huge, heavy brush on our swirl ceilings. After he retired the first time, he went to work for a rental property place to paint for many years. After that, he got a job at a big-box store chain where he, you guessed it, painted for many years, until he fell and broke his back at 89 and got a retirement from there too. During this time after we got our own houses, whenever he saw something that needed painting, he would come over and paint. He coached me some, but he got more done in a hour with his huge brush than I could get done with a roller, and do a better job, so there wasn't much time to learn. LOL!

17:53 - you speak the truth. I will never go back to box store paint. Wait for a 30% sale and the price will be reasonable. Quality it so worth it. Makes painting enjoyable.

Cheers!

Big box store paint is just as good you just have to make sure you don’t buy the cheaper grades, been using them for 10 years in my business works just as well for less money and I don’t have to wait for a sale

[@SuburbanErrorist]

Another very informative video as always. I just found your channel today and I have been learning a ton watching your videos, thanks for making these videos!

[@chimene3851]

Watching Jeff move quickly & efficiently versus my “sleepy koala” project speed is kinda depressing 😂

[@ward26102]

Put it on 0.75 speed. Then he's still faster than most of us. :-)

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Loving it!

[@apcolleen]

He said you can paint in your sunday clothes. My low neurotransmitters have determined this is a lie. I twice stepped in the paint roller tray when we were redoing our house. I stood there a moment waiting for the Yackety Sax music to start.

[@IslandThyme]

I watch your channel all the time. I don’t watch TV. I watch yours and a few others. Great content.

[@irinahendrik2066]

Thank you so much for your lessons

[@pibblesnbits]

I love you Jeff, you're my hero!

[@305liveandlearn]

Omg 😲 I do that too (using caulk between pieces of trim. I love watching your videos man

[@PongoXBongo]

I'm a big fan of taking the hinges and strike plates off before finishing the trim, especially if you're staining. I've unhung a couple of doors over the years to have open passageways and _not_ having to touch up under the hardware is great.

6:14 love the knowledgeable flip off 😁

[@ShayBelladonna]

its been a while since ive traversed these "doors" tiem for me to catch up and what a great video to jump into!

[@lyles253]

Wizz makes Fantastic brushes and it for sure makes a difference

[@kenfett7070]

In regards to your comment on quality paints you are 1,000% correct. Glidden, Baer, etc from the big box stores will never compare to Sherwin Williams or other top quality paint. My uncle owned a Sherwin Williams Paint Store for 35 years. Night and Day difference between low quality box store Paint and high quality paint. In the end you probably save money due to less coats and the overall durability. I have watched over ten hours of your videos in the past month as I tackle the endless list of things my wife wants me to do. Thank you for some great tips to make my life easier.

[@aerojoea]

Best DIY advice on KZbin!

[@gergemall]

Looks nice Jeff

[@glenprovenzano6956]

Great video I wish I watched this before I painted my doors with a gallon of ten dollar paint from a discount building supply store. Two days later I was still seeing marks and see through! Never again. This guy is a real professional I did everything wrong. Almost funny when I think of what I did compared to the way he works.

[@jasonbay13]

this channel is great. not some guy trying to sell you whatever product pays for advertisement. - like project farm, another great channel.

[@clint7237]

As a diy’er I use the “better” box store paint because it’s usually 7pm or Saturday afternoon when I need paint. So the box is whats available. I’ve always had good results

[@xavierdegraaf8272]

You’re so awesome. You’ve really helped me

[@elroy8138]

Thanks Jeff. Great tips

[@douglasrohde3947]

I’ve been watching your videos most of the day. I’m in the process of renovating another home I bought. I’ve learned so much from you already and am looking forward to putting your techniques to good use. Thank you so much for your time and effort making these sensational videos.

[@roberthare4024]

Good work, I learned a few things. Thank you

[@Jennifer-kk8tt]

Have to say I just love your videos! I've picked up a few tricks and tips from you to make jobs a lot easier. One comment though as muralist and painter for over 35+ years. Yes brush quality matters very much and you do get different results based on how much money you're willing to spend on a paint brush. Better brushes hold more paint, they’re balanced better for your hand, do cutting with ease, spread paint evenly, and you don’t get that annoying bristle loss that you experience with cheap brushes where you have to stop and pick bristles off the wall. I tell people if you're spending the money on good quality paint, you should be buying good quality rollers and brushes. It's a shame to spend 80-90 a gallon to have a poor looking job because you went cheap on the appliers. :)
