@@justindearmond1 the most expensive ingredient in a can of paint is the label. Always remember that when the BM dealer tells you PPG is the best paint now, it's only because he lost his territory to ACE. Painters have no control over paint quality, it's all about hedge funds. One formula holds true in paint - more titanium, more cost, best paint. Read the sheets!

I'm a Professional painter, in Pensacola, Florida. Only Interior, I use to do exterior but the the heat and humidity is a beast, better to do it in the fall and winter. Ive enjoyed your videos, always can learn something new, Thank you for your channel.

I’ve been a builder for about 45 years. Painting here and there. I’ve enjoyed your informative videos for several years. You’re never too old to learn new things! Thank you Chris!

[@OrionConstellationHome]

Amazing! Your customers are so lucky! The amount of care and attention you give to every little detail and even to the grass around the house is the great respect for other human beings. Your daughter is so lucky to learn from you! I am so inspired by your videos, that I am painting my mom’s house now. Mom does not speak much English, but she loves to watch your videos and understand your clear explanations! She said you are great speaker and better than Hollywood actor! I am university math professor and my mom physics proff, and we are learning so much from you and admiring your clarity, dedication and passion. Thank you from 🇷🇺.

I loved ALL your videos. I'm attempting to do my big old house. My husband has delayed it for so long for who knows all the reasons!(Im not waiting any longer!) I started scraping and doing some filling holes and priming. Started on a small back porch area to get the feel of it. Im going to go to the store now and get your suggessted tools etc!! THANKYOU!

[@breathnstop]

beautiful job, you are so meticulous, your customer should be extremely happy. I'm an amateur and painting my house inside for the second time. I love to transform rooms it's very satisfying. I'm kind of sloppy but you have given me some great tips to tighten up my game. thanks.

Chris, this series has been great! I am preparing a 230 year old house to get ready to paint. I really appreciate your insight and tips that you share with us. I have learned so much from watching you. Thanks so very much for doing these videos! P.S. - the Linbide scraper is fantastic! And I love the ZoorCorp 5 in 1 tool.

[@ensurepaintingplusllc]

Super solid approach with great results Chris👌🏻

[@jessesmith-pinkham7236]

I’m a professional from Maine. The houses in Idaho I see you working on seem much different than the houses here. A lot of fiberboard siding and trim, and mostly low. We have real wood shakes, clapboards, and trim most of the time, some over a hundred years old, with much more prep. It’s interesting to see the different styles in other areas

[@jefflevesque4944]

[@arlenmargolin1650]

That's pretty top shelf painting the flashing when someone else messes it up I'm a big believer in fixing the old f*** ups

[@johnkimsey1825]

I'm a steel industrial painter. I mainly spray but I have to stripe (cut) in with a brush. I also paint, well just starting, on the side for residential. So technically I'm a professional steel painter and a "beginner" house painter. I've learned a lot from you Chris and I want to thank you. Some say that there is a difference between painting steel and painting houses. I say obviously you've never done both because I can tell you this, the only difference is in your head and the tools you use to prep. If you have pride in your work, you will succeed in your profession. We have a saying at my job. If you're not f'n up it's because you're not working. You are constantly learning something new every day. When you think that you know it all, retire because you stopped learning.

[@EFdrums81]

I like the system you got. Doing sub work its all about production and i try to give the same attention to customers but can’t take too long otherwise u lose money… thats why its way better to do own work 100%

[@Joos-676]

Do you ever use a ladder stand off. I like using them bc they can work around most windows and it gets you a bit off the body so you can get higher up. Probably more of a preference thing.

[@captainkrunch6372]

Speaking of ladder safety I missed 2 steps when coming off my 8 ft stepladder, we've all missed 1 but 2, I took a tumble and ladder went over sideways, no injury other than my pride😂😂😂. Just a home owner painter, retired Ironworke rand Steelworker, did it 15 years ago I used Behr Ultra it held up well.

[@RHill79]

I love this channel

[@Mongeau19]

Hey man - love your work, bravo! Question: would you paint gutters as a trim? Our house doesn't have any actual trim, but I'm wondering if if would look good to paint the gutter with another colour from the house as if it was a trim. What do you think?

[@pattubbs2202]

Can you elaborate a bit on moving of equipment and ladders and storage of those things while working solo? I'm a professional, working mostly solo and find my last day is always more of a chore than it should be.

[@jeebs2002]

Silly question, but what shoes do you like to wear when painting? In this video you are wearing shoes that look comfortable and light weight. Do you have a brand you like?

[@johnrescigno1367]

Hey great job. I can't find your video of wrapping ladder boots in plastic??

[@jasonbourne314]

You sprayed Rustoleum enamel (oil?) on the flashing, then covered the overspray on the house with a latex?

[@chapafamily9605]

Beginner painter here...can’t afford to pay someone to paint house. So should I apply caulking on the siding of my house before painting? There are little gaps between siding. Ask, if painting without an air gun, do you recommend painting siding with roller or brush?

Great video as always! Been a fan for about 6 years or so now! First time I’ve ever commented too! Random, but any chance you would ever make another channel regarded your body building/workouts/diet? I’ve noticed that even in 6 years you still have the same built physique and I’m trying to get like you!

[@firepaint33]

So I requested yall to make these type of video as Im a solo guy fighting with tricks. How do you spray the gutters without getting over spray on the shingles above? Do you paint the underside lip of the shingles along the trim, why? what if the last painter got some paint on it in some places? How do you spray the body next to the window trim up on a ladder in light wind without covering the glass with plastic??? some of that spray will defiantly get on the glass of the window? unless its on super low or something? Do you really roll your soffits and backsides of fascia? Usually that stuff is perfect to just spray!? thanks

[@snowsurfr]

For spraying, do you set up a new window mask for each coat of primer & paint? In other words, if you spray 3 coats (1 primer, 2 paint) do install a new mask for each one?

[@carlosmosqueda8012]

I am a painter not professional and I am just arrived in Toronto, Canada and I started to see your videos and they are excellent, but I do not know how to budget for the painting of a house, or how the payment is made, could you give me some ideas, Thanks in advance.

I used behr oil based primer on exterior mdf, it was a bit cold out but still about the recommended temp. The paint after a day is still tacky... what can I do to speed up the primer to dry?

[@Joos-676]

Typically how long would it take you to hand do trim and fascia with two guys on a house like this?

What’s the best paint sheen for the exterior base and trim for a house here in the desert in Arizona?

you're doing a very good job in that house. but as the saying goes, good costs more ! Here the question is for how much did you do it, what was the budget for that project in material and labor? Just curiosity!

[@llamacebu216]

How come you did not use primer? Is it because it's a simple touch up job? I plan on repainting my home and pressure washing/scrapping.. Should I primer first? ...and what's the best way to remove old caulking??

[@arlenmargolin1650]

Just wondering at your opinion on how acceptable is it to not paint the edge of the trim that leads into the siding I mean in other words do you ever just paint the face of the trim?

[@josephgraham1065]

Just curious what did you think about the Glidden Premium paint?

[@estebanvializ9985]

What can I do when I overspray the front door and the paint is running. How do I fix it?

[@Idahopainter]

We would simply wetsand or use denatured alcohol then reshoot

[@marcelguarachi]

i’m wondering if your ladder bent the shingles when u painted the fascia

[@LDeezy662]

vertmert in my experience it is very rare...it can happen but you really have to almost try to. As long as your aware of it you will almost never let it happen just my 2 cents

[@marcelguarachi]

i always use my ladder stabilizers and put them above, most of the roofing material here where i live is soft composite roofing and i’ve seen it bend a lot

When you painted the window trim, did you paint the outside of the trim or just the face and inside by the window? If you painted just the face and the inside, is the regular practice or job specific to this house?

[@dmass5975]

How do I get dry paint splatter off roof shingles?

[@briant9764]

why do i see me dropping the paint can, the paint drips all over the roof , down the siding. I reach to try to get the paint the ladder sides and hits my wife's car but on the good side i fall in the bushes.

[@kellyburian38]

Well I learn to be a painter fresh out of high school and move my way up. The Iraqi war broke out and I needed that paycheck guaranteed paid so I drove for 25 years butt off and on I picked up jobs. It really depends there so many scenarios. first you want to make sure if you can't remove everything and anything swept clean so you're not tripping over any drops or anyting sort of like that because something was sticking out of a box. you want to go ahead and make sure that you have everything all dust off ceiling and the walls

'you don't want to have your brush sitting down in the bucket'. Why not? Better there than drying out on the side. Exterior tools don't need to be so perfect. The edge of most all polyester brushes are adequate for any housepainting in the latex era.

[@crackerman3]

Respectfully, you have many great videos that are very informative. But when painting exterior trim around windows and corners, the trim includes the edges also, not just the face. You like soo many painters take the easy way out and just paint the face of trim because it's fast and easy. Do the job correctly and paint the trim face and edges.

[@haroldclark4485]

Good advice to wear gloves. You wouldn't want a customer hiring you because you are a one pot shop thinking your were from someone making money.
