Painting Interior Doors and Trim Ep.122

[@jarretwasko3976]

Holy smokes. I sure would like to know a team of painters in Central Florida with this attention to detail and mastery of their craft.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Man those are some excellent painters you all had! Clearly they are very detail oriented guys. I don’t think you’ll find many people at their level. The results speak for themselves!

[@fromulus]

I tend to think being filmed throughout has at least a slight impact on work crews when they enter the building.

[@turboflush]

That's not cheap work to hire either. Amazing work

[@Danielg86]

Crazy that they go over the same nail holes 3 times. I slam spackling into nail holes, lightly sand, and call it a day. Prime n paint. I'm working on rentals though. This is definitely fine home building

[@Mrcaffinebean]

@@fromulus their could be some of that but you can only improve so much for the camera. So you have to be pretty good to begin with.

[@joshuapater1985]

Lol. At what cost? 20 grand to paint the inside of a home.....sheesh

[@Rob-df6py]

Never seen a single painter with this level of attention to detail, let alone a whole crew of them. Outstanding.

[@MSeroga]

You get what you pay for.

[@MattyWill1]

Exactly. Most people don't want to pay for quality work like this. When you tell someone it's going to be 20,000 dollars to paint their house . They don't want the quality anymore. They want a spray and go job unfortunately.

[@magictrading8903]

@@MattyWill1 im not sure thats it - but i dont want to pay for that level of work only to find out they did the most basic prep that i could have done myself... thats what i find happens a lot these days. you hire a pro to get that pro level finish only to get whats basic handyman level services

[@stevemullin7472]

The attention to detail at such a large scale is impressive. Kudos to this team for their relentless focus on quality.

[@678friedbed]

so true. I went to the open house and the detail work was top notch. also the planning and layout was amazing. even things that might be a minor inconvenience were accounted for and taken care of.

[@joelness]

@@678friedbed Wish I would live less than 12 hours away to have had an opportunity to see this firsthand.

[@bfelb]

In Germany, we build, install caulk and fill and paint our fittings! Nice to see someone else doing the detail work for a change..

[@FranciscoMartinez-zv2rw]

The sad reality is that most customers can’t afford or do want to to pay the price for high quality work like this, you get what you pay for. They did a amazing job!!!

[@Bob-kp5ll]

Wife and I were watching this and wondering what the price differential is between this quality of work and “average.”

[@kyleb6017]

@@Bob-kp5ll, many thousands. I'm in the trade, and I have done work at this level many, many times. I am absolutely capable of the highest quality finish, but as a contractor, you have to stay busy, and the bottom line is that a lot of clients can't/won't pay for this level, unfortunately. I prefer to work at this level. The more tedious, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

[@Thermohybrid]

This is true. Only a few people are able to pay these kind of detailed work. I worked for a paint company and most people want affordable prices. Botton line . You get what you paid for

[@Dreadlock1227]

To be honest, I personally wouldn’t bother paying for really high quality aesthetic work. I’m not picky at all, and I just really don’t care less if there’s imperfections. As long as everything in my house functions right, I happy. I don’t really care about paying a premium to make everything look perfect. Decent is good enough for me haha

[@jedgeco]

There's simply no way that a contractor on a spec house would/could do this kind of job if the expense were not also being underwritten as "content creation" cost. Whoever is buying this house is getting an incredible value.

[@candid886]

This is a goldmine for people wanting to see how the pros prep and how the pros spray. Thanks for making this!

[@kevinadrian9366]

And as to why they charge what they do. These are craftsmen in the painting world.

[@brianhaygood183]

"Professional" just means they get paid. This is not merely professional. These are high quality craftsmen. The "pros," on average, don't do anything at all like this.

[@marksimpkins5081]

That is a quality paint job. Those shots right at the end, the close ups, thats why its worth all this effort.

[@TheKajunkat]

I thought I was a pretty good painter and pretty anal about my work. These guys are on a whole other level, I have been bested. My hats off to them!

[@cfomusic73]

Absolutely.....I was thinking the same thing (TheKajunkat). I go nuts with attention to detail.....but this is something I would like to offer.....the sad thing is that I would have to charge an extremely high amount and I don't have the clients that would pay for this service.

[@vincentmcclelland9179]

Love the finish, now the fun part, hanging all them doors, and not messing up that fine work

[@steves2074]

I don’t think I’ve ever exclaimed in wonder as much just from watching people paint. Not sure I will step up my paint game to this point but it’s nice to have a benchmark. Fine finish work men!

[@LeadRakFPS]

Same here. I've been repainting our house. Just trim, walls and ceilings. I've done a really good job just doing it with a brush and roller, but these guys are on a totally different level of finish painting. I hand edged all the wall to ceiling and top of trim lines, but these guys and their masking and spraying can't be beat.

[@WideAwakeHuman]

I've seen a lot of houses painted and done a few myself... I've never had the patience to be really good at it because it's a 1 to 1 in terms of time you spent prepping to quality of finished product.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

I love the detail at 8:32 of connecting the doors on end to paint them. Very clever!

[@visionintegrations]

Same here! Thats one tip I'll defiantly take with me!

[@jacobplank]

Yea that's great! I do a little spraying on the side and always just station them zig zag with a board across the top, but they roll color and door jams so spraying in the house is no option.

[@micahned]

They even make a special jig that connects to the hinge mounting holes for exactly this purpose. I don't know the brand but I've seen them on the jobsite, they are yellow. In the video it looks like they use stir sticks but obviously that will leave an unpainted surface under the sticks that will have to be touched up. By connecting at the hinge holes any unpainted surface will be under the hinge.

[@michaellatour9852]

Awesome to see a whole team take pride in there craft and want to provide the best level of service start to finish. With paint especially every corner cut shows up in the final product. Nice work guys!

[@WideAwakeHuman]

I've seen a lot of interiors prepped and painted and this is seriously some absolute top notch work... Nearly impossible to find people with that level of quality. Very nice!

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Wow. The close up at the end! 😍

[@gtuttle4]

I've painted automobiles and houses. These guys are doing an excellent job. I am very impressed!

[@jluther820]

I was there...THIS IS AMAZING! I can not believe how flawed the molding and trim work was until I watched this video. I remember being at the open house on the first day and searching for a flaw thinking I was looking at Scott's work and seeing no hint of a flaw, now I know there was a different artist. No offense to Scott, the foundation work was perfect, but this paint finish work left me confused until just now seeing this video. The paint work was not automotive quality, it was high end custom, perfect deep candle apple red hot rod quality. My wife and I thought maybe it was plastic, but that didn't seem possible, it was just too perfect. WoW, Amazing I've got to say it again...seeing that level of perfection in person, then understanding it more from this video has expanded my mind to have seen a new high of what's possible. Thank you all...

[@chaslaurie]

Great detail. This kind of quality comes at a premium that most people don't want to pay for. Excellent work!

[@iknowyouarebutwhatami1]

Spray guy has a real nice touch. Good lighting is critical on a job like this. Beautiful work

[@Cris-ss8tb]

Its nice to see what real paintwork looks like.

[@Matt_Alaric]

I've worked on a number of commercial sites over the years, and i've never seen the level of care and attention paid to painting as i have on this video. Impressive stuff.

[@peraltas2011]

Thanks!

[@pabloaguilar2392]

Beautiful. It’s tough luck that anybody can paint. It discredits the few truly hard working, full time painters. Literal artists. Thank your painters. Set your nails, and they might even thank you.

[@eworzero]

That was finished to a high standard. It was nice to see so much of the detailed handwork; and, nice to see skilled people working to the best of their abilities.

[@funkingitup1805]

At first I thought the mouldings on those doors were too simple and cheap looking for that house, but after seeing the final product I think the simplicity of the moulding really showcases how well done the prep and paint was done.

[@bmflaca]

Finally I found painters who works with the same quality that we work !!!

[@badlandskid]

What a pleasure to work with true professionals.

[@j0nz0rz]

Having visited the spec house for the open house. I can say that this is the best paint job I truly have ever seen.

[@Casualherogaming]

So that is what perfection looks like. Stunning levels of attention to detail. Those men should be damn proud of their work.

[@giovannidigitalart]

Craftsmanship. Priceless.

[@stronkde]

Happy Saturday!

[@NickRgibbs]

I've been a professional painter in Canada for longer than what I want to admit. The crazy thing for me is the process and fill methods are the same. The only difference is we have smooth walls and they are painted after the trim(mask the finished millwork). The 3M glazing putty here has a special label and is kept behind the counter at the paint store to be legal for sale in Canada. The only difference is the paint choice, my region was very lacquer based so now we use a waterborne lacquer that has a comparable finish to kitchen cabinets. When someone wants to negotiate or can't afford the price for this quality of work we use a latex paint and do about half the amount of prep/cleaning because the latex lays down heavier and hides bigger particles of dust than a lacquer. For me it is amazing to see that I could move a few thousand miles and still go straight to work in my industry without relearning new steps or processes. Question: The close up on the sprayer bucket, did they use A100 as a trim paint inside or was that just a clip inserted ?

[@ronsharp9042]

That was a clean bucket used to spray out of. The finish paint is filtered through a mesh strainer bag into a clean bucket. The finish is Pittsburgh high luster interior latex semi gloss.

[@VC-Toronto]

@@gvanderleun Don't know where Nick is from, but my local Canadian Tire has 3M glazing putty out on the shelves, right beside the bondo and sandpaper.

[@VC-Toronto]

@@ronsharp9042 Sometimes if you have a small volume to spray and you want to draw out of a 1 gallon container, it's safer to set the 1 gallon container into the bottom of the 5 gallon, as the pickup tube is geared to a 5 gallon pail, and would tend to tip over the 1 gallon. I have a 2 gallon hopper for my sprayer I use when I have small volumes to spray.

[@ZamTheWorld]

Yeah I’ve never seen walls painted first. Seems totally backwards

[@doug.ritson]

@@ZamTheWorld Trim pack, walls, then ceiling makes more sense

[@dunep6465]

I've never seen painters do that kind of work. Absolutely Top Notch.

[@hamadqatar5838]

Nice here we come almost to the end.. Please don't stop even to continue with how the house feels in every aspects after being in use for residency

[@adamallen8863]

I love it when people do a proper job

[@alanr745]

No wonder you had those guys to the trim painting. Their attention to detail and product quality is one of the best I’ve seen. 😮 VERY worth the 💰 and recommendation.

[@rossbuchanan7632]

You are fortunate to be able to find such good workmen for your project, and get them. Great workmanship on top of great workmanship- this is going to be a house in a million

[@outdoorsman090]

seen a lot of multi million dollar homes build not one had painters like these the prep detail and clean work is top shelf

[@scottperezfox]

I could, literally, watch a video of paint drying, so long as Scott was narrating 😎

[@TheJunkieWhisperer]

I used to do automotive painting and their attention to detail and efficiency blows my mind!

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Beautiful work. Attention to detail and the work to get the perfect finish is impressive.

[@michaelhernandez6434]

That's some of the best quality of any videos thus far! And that's saying a lot!

[@scottgates4616]

Excellent work from those painters. The prep. and finish are both impressive. And, to see them prepping and painting the top edges of the head casings and well as all 6 sides of the doors that are often unseen indicates that they want to make your project hold up as much as they want their finish to look good. Well done.

[@ridermak4111]

Relentless attention to details is an understatement. This job is just mind boggling. 🏆

[@antoniobiondo1509]

That finish is a site to behold! I've never seen such attention to smallest details. Well done!

[@carlislehendersonthethird7799]

Your airless sprayer guy looks like some master autobody painter who got bored painting hot rods and started painting houses instead. Holds the gun at the perfect angles relative to the material to get perfect coverage. Robotic sweeping movements. Gun always the same distance from the material whether at his toes or well over his head. As a group, their attention to detail is on a whole other level. Very impressive!

[@etvid331]

Beautiful I’ve never seen a paint job like that!

[@kellyx57]

Hard to find contractors that take that much pride in their work. Your video production and narration are top notch! I really enjoy watching. Thanks.

[@CraigArndt]

That is some high level work, I liked seeing young people doing that work and having that attention to detail.

[@daytonpyro]

i never in my life seen anything like this.. amazing....i would of like to seen the guys talk and work like you did with that cool plumber...

[@jackcorwin2906]

We had the privelege of attending the first Open House and this house deserved the first rate paint job it received. Absolutely beautiful finished product.

[@mattpeterson7074]

As a homeowner, I've never seen ANY contractors I've hired come with the level of detail these guys seem to have in this video. I've had good ones, but never this good. Wow is all I can say. Someday, I hope to find a shop that I can rely on for this level of quality, regardless of cost. There's times when it pays to know that people that will get it done 99.9999% correct, instead of just 99%.

[@bigchew3149]

WoW..Looks like they Did a Real good job !

[@SigmaDG]

They can make an average finish trim guy look amazing. True talent and patience. Awesome job.

[@zooie69]

[@dave9242]

Incredible finish.

[@thomascrosby6105]

this is an excellent tutorial on the step by step process to achieve a high level 4 or 5 finish. Anyone doing their own work can do this, but it requires good products, patience and detail. thank you for posting.

[@LykMike]

Wow! I used to be on a painting crew and now that I've saw this I see how much of a "fly by night" type of crew they were... Excellent work fellas!

[@LeadRakFPS]

Really puts things into perspective. There's a lot of "we can do it all" fly by night contractors out there. Then you watch craftsmanship like this and you're like, "well shit". 🤣

[@micahned]

Keep in mind that this is a particularly skilled and expensive crew, performing on camera. There are certainly cheap fly by night crews that will leave you with a terrible and nondurable finish, but there is also a happy medium between the two.

[@bamabackroads1203]

@@micahned exactly. You could not make s living in my area doing it this way. When we have to paint for builders I always question why I'm doing it. The standard rate around here it's impossible to do anything more than putty the nail holes and caulk. We sand the trim, but only because the putty we use has to be sanded. I would love to be able to charge enough to do things to this level.

[@macgyver03ga]

Sprayed trim with a FF always looks 👌. Your painters’ attention to detail is excellent.

[@ramongonzales6516]

Beautiful work fellas! Great teamwork, attention to detail, and craftsmanship!

[@jackmiyamoto5270]

I was exhausted watching these painters preparing the trim and doors. Filling the nail holes and and cocking the joints was amazing. They earn every dollar their paid. Great video!!

[@xyzct]

They were cocking ... on the _clock?_

[@joelness]

Wow. That side-light method is just incredible attention to detail, as with every other part of this build. Whoever buys this gem will be able to get such satisfaction watching all these episodes. In our tract house's trim I can find every single nail mark without looking all that closely.

[@w1swh1]

Always a pleasure to watch the execution of expert paint jobs. Yes attention to detail is key. If ignored it always shows through. Taking off the masking is a great pleasure as well.

Great to find a truly professional crew who take pride in their work. All too rare today.

[@danozdirect3749]
