I could watch this all day

[@CivilianDan]

Thank you for taking the time to show how a pro works. Very informative.

[@andyl5645]

That was a well made video!! The camera work, voice volume, & speed, and painting were all very nice. GREAT JOB!! I know that for some people, it makes it easier to follow along if I list the number of steps at the beginning and also number them as I go (7 steps, 1st: pre-prep, 2nd..., then here in step "x" we are...). Thank you 👍👍

This man is what America needs today~~Pride in one's profession and customer service ~not the blow and go mentality we are now seeing EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYTHING

[@elchorisonn]

I dont think this voice belong to any of these workers. Im sure you didnt do anything 😅😅😅😅😅 but they did a good job.

[@victorcastro9440]

Excellent prep work good painting skills the only thing I wouldn't use is flat tips they clog up a lot and use a 310 ff to spray wrought iron other than that excellent video

[@ricosrealm]

Great details in this video. Thanks

[@preahnipean8746]

I didn’t see you rolled it after spray paint. Is it ok to do that because I am planning to paint my stucco exterior .

[@ABNPainters]

we do not back roll if the stucco has been painted before. We only back roll brand new stucco. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZbOfIl5mtiqeqM

[@westurner6669]

Thanks for the video. Thanks for the detailed instructions and slow pace. Def will watch others.

[@ABNPainters]

Thank you for watching.

[@csjr9]

Just wanted to reach out and say thank you for these informative videos. Great work by the way!

[@ABNPainters]

Thank you.

[@jimdela1]

How much bucket of paints would it take to paint a house that size?

[@ABNPainters]

I don't remember how much paint it took for this specific house, but whenever we need to calculate the paint for exterior house painting we usually buy 1 gallon for 100 square feet. If it is 2000 sf house we would buy 20 gallons and that is for 2 costs of paint.

[@우주해적-w9v]

Beautiful paint job for a beautiful house! Very fitting. Before watching this video I didn't realise how much work goes into painting a whole house! I would've loved to have seen a little side by side comparison at the end to easily see how much better it looks now without having to go back to the beginning.

[@Juan-zd1ct]

Where u at Abn painting? Been looking at ur video to learn about exterior painting for a while now. It’s helped me to run my own business..... we need some new videos!

[@keytothegate68]

Looks like the first thing to do is to buy miles of covering clothes or paper to protect the driveway then add small pieces to cover over an infinite number of other small protrusions that you don;t want painted. Also buy a sprayer, hoses,paint, brushes, and all the other attachments. Wear disposable clothing and ..have fun cleaning it all up after a looong job

[@robistonerecen8802]

Good work on painting! Well done!

[@TonyTheGreat19517]

How do you bid a 2 story house like this?

[@ABNPainters]

consider how much repairs needed, how many colors and where they go, how far to drive from where i live, plus the square footage.

[@geierkurzfloog9925]

pressure washing is crucial, you're right. made that mistake once, really bit me in the end argh

[@fonzy8419]

How much was that paint job?

[@ABNPainters]

This video was posted about 6 years ago and i do not remember what we charged at the time. Sorry.

[@justintime9623]

How come you didnt just use plastic wrap for the light

[@BenTheRealtorAZ]

Amazing work and I can see that you have a passion for what you do!

[@Combat556]

Careful and great attention to detail, good job! Maybe I missed it, but is the paint that’s being used on the stucco elastomeric? Thank you for the video.

[@ABNPainters]

not elastomeric. regular paint.

[@dannymia305]

The sun was beaming 😂 give this man a cold beer 🍺

[@kevinmorris4517]

[@ABNPainters]

[@ryancoffey8822]

Great job! I'm glad I found your KZbin page! On that house what did you charge the customer? 5-6 grand? Also, when the stucco body and underneath the eaves/fascia are two different colors, what do you do? Which do u paint first? Do you guys use shield or masking paper? Some spray stucco first, and then after it dries, run masking paper a foot down and carefully spray the eaves..some spray eaves first then mask eaves the spray stucco..curious what you guys do for fastest and best job..thanks man

[@ABNPainters]

"Some spray stucco first, and then after it dries, run masking paper a foot down and carefully spray the eaves" -that is exactly how we usually do it. As for the price I think it was right around $4500 but not sure as it was done a while ago.

[@guzano568]

1200sqf house how much?

[@kennybaird864]

Do you use any detergent when you pressure wash the house? And what is the name of the detergent if any are used?

[@ABNPainters]

We do not use any detergents for pressure washing. There are a few benefits of not using any detergents: Plain water does not kill grass/plants. No need to worry that if detergent is not rinsed off properly the paint will peel/bubble/flake a few months after painting. If we ever need to use detergent it would be “Liquid TSP Substitute” but usually for pressure washing we use only water.

[@fitnessjourney6768]

How many gallons did it take? And how much does it cost to paint a house this size?

[@ABNPainters]

it was many years ago i think about 35-40 gallons for paint . price varies with each project.

[@RunningSushi-wv5or]

what kind of paint do you recommend when there's lot of temperature changes and rough climate? like alaska?

[@ABNPainters]

Sorry could not tell you. Never painted in a cold climate.

[@andrewmichaelarmas1439]

Is the family in the house while they cover the windows?

[@ABNPainters]

yes

[@Cool-Stuff4U]

Best how to I have seen!

[@fillalau]

Thank you for this great video.

[@ABNPainters]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@glamprincess767]

So why elastomeric patch is better than dry lock?

[@ABNPainters]

Elatomeric patch is thicker consistency and it makes it easier to apply. It does not drip from the brush, as drylock would. And it also seem to dry harder than drylock. But that is just personal preference. We used drylock for years before we started using elatomeric patch around foundation and it worked just fine.

[@RamonVM23]

Thanks for the video best one I’ve found

[@ABNPainters]

thank you for watching

[@dreamer1inmil694]

Awesome work!!

[@edgarromero8551]

How much paint do you for the stucco on a house of that size?

[@ABNPainters]

for 2 coats of paint we usually use about 1 gallon for 100 sf. This house looks like about 4500 sf so about 45-50 gallons.

[@SuperCuttysark]

@4:27 what is that tool he used to dispense tape and plastic?

[@ABNPainters]

that is a regular masker with a blade for plastic. www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Hand-Masker-Dispenser-M3000/100089687

[@jaimemorales8497]

how many days does it take to paint a house like this?

[@ABNPainters]

between 2 guys about 5 full days.

[@MascarasMil]

nice work!

[@zhannakryukova8676]

Great job!!!

[@emawaterz6540]

Very useful steps, thanks!

[@henryyanez2582]

Que buen trabajo te felicito buen tip el de usar elastomatic voy a probarlo , una pregunta , usas tips FLAT o usas RAC o REGULARES en la imagen como que vi flat , quiero minimizar el overspray en mis trabajos

[@ABNPainters]

Question: “What a good job I congratulate you, good tip, the use of elastomatic, I will try it, a question, use FLAT tips or use RAC or REGULAR in the image as I saw flat, I want to minimize the overspray in my work” Answer: Overspray is the same. We use flat tips because they cost only $3 and we buy brand new tip for every job. It gives us nice spray pattern every time. The only downside I that the paint needs to be strained really well or the tip will get clogged up often.

[@maikk3816]

El flat hace menos overspray dura mas el tip , pero tienes que colar la pintura .

[@tonyrome068]

Great Job Amigo!

[@_asher.exe_]

XD

[@vickers1984]

It is better to use 5/15 size of the tip for the stucco.

[@ABNPainters]

With ‘5 size the fan is 10 inch wide and it does allow for spray painting body faster but it is a harder to paint under the trim with fan being that wide. Stucco on this house is smooth and the 13 size works great. There is nothing wrong with using 5/15 tip but on most jobs 4/13 is what we use. It is a little slower than with larger tip but more precise.

[@BGuitar415]

@@ABNPainters That's a blown out 413 for sure

[@bojans1937]

If I want a paint job to last 15 years what paint would you recommend?

[@ABNPainters]

In Arizona the paint does not usually last that long without fading. Spartashiled by Dunn Edwards is one of the paints we suggest using for someone looking for the longest lasting results.

[@bojans1937]

What is the life expectancy of that paint?

[@ABNPainters]

You should expect to repaint the house on average in about 10 years if you are using Spartashiled. It is not only the quality of the paint. A lot depends on the colors that you are using as well. Neutral/light colors will last longer without fading. Dark/rich colors will fade faster.

[@bojans1937]

Thanks for the reply

[@ABNPainters]

Thank you for watching.

[@tonymanuel2747]

What kind of spray gun do u use.

[@ABNPainters]

[@RAPraveen]

Can you use satin finish on the exterior stucco?

[@ABNPainters]

Is there a specific reason you are thinking of using anything other than flat paint?

[@RAPraveen]

Someone told me it is easier to clean.

[@ABNPainters]

As far as easy to clean I am not sure if it would help much on stucco. We use satin finish for exterior doors sometimes and it does make it easier to clean. On stucco we only use flat paints, as any kind of repairs that you are going to make before painting (fixing any cracks or holes) will show a lot better with paints that have gloss. If the house needs no repairs it still may highlight all existing imperfections on exterior. Besides looks another important reason not to use glossy paint is it may trap moisture and the paint may not adhere well. With flat paint it is never a problem.

[@MAGA1440-s2m]

That man is a master painter, work very efficient

[@eduardonava2679]

Es mas facil quitar las lamparas 😂😂😂😂

[@ABNPainters]

Eduardo Nava :"it is easier to remove the lamps" It is easy to remove but time consuming to put back.
