This is exactly what I needed 😭
It's incredible how a clean baseboard paint job can make such a difference in the look of a house. Loved this video. 👍
FINALLY! What a real job looks like. I kept seeking perfect trim, not like what i am needing to fix.
Facts! I’m dealing with the same type it’s so bad
This is by far the best video!!! Please continue to make these videos - it is eye opening to see that patience is key for this type of work but possible. Thank you!!!
wow after watching your video I would definitely hire you. you are such a perfectionist I don't know anyone who I have ever seen take their time and do the job right
There’s much value here, in that you showed the transformation that’s possible when the prep is done in the proper order. The attention to detail shown here can be applied in order to get great results in many other types of projects.
Thank you! Im renting a house qith the most horrible walls/paint/baseboards. I thought I could live with it, but no. This is the only video I've seen with baseboards in similiar condition, although mines are even worst. Appreciate all the advice!
So many great tips in this video, this is exactly what I needed, thank you!
You’re quite the perfectionist…beautiful work. I plan on touching up some areas of my baseboards. Thanks for the tips
Thank you for your information. I love the “that’s what she said” remark. I say that all the time😂😂😂
Very nice video. I was trying to find that kind of video content but it's always almost new trims getting some touch ups and not nasty old ones like these. I'm currently working on the trims in my house and I'm giving my very best. Hope it looks great once it's done. Thank you!
The video I’ve been looking for, thank you!! I’ve learnt so much and can’t wait to put it into practice 😃
Awesome bullet ricochet effect!
Hey man, nice work! Where's more videos? You're an excellent teacher!!
Looks great
Unfortunately almost no one will pay to get it repaired and painted correctly
They’ll just want to pay to get it “painted” 😢
How is this your only video!!! Come back sir!!!
Excellent stuff, helped a lot!
Thank you so very much. This was educational. I will be doing my baseboards next week, so this video really helped. 🙏🏽
Awesome video. Thank you 👍
Amazingly helpful video ... thank you!!!
I don’t understand using mud to fill gap between baseboard and wall… seems unnecessary and too much work. Can the caulk just fill the gap ?
Bravo!!!
Best teaching video. What a pro and excellent teacher.
I am surprised this is less expensive than buying new.
Did not say how many hours it took in total. But I could not help thinking that, too.
What paint did you use for top coat to get that shine?
Why the hell was it in that condition in the first place?
what grit sandpaper do you use to sand down the filler?
We call that polishing a turd !
At the rate that you're going it should only take you 54 years to complete the job on the house.
The caveat is that if you see something like that - the owner is short on cash. Unless you are doing it for free (or for a video) then the effort and price of fixing it properly would be too much to the owner and you will be kicked out from the job having spent half your day on 3.5 meters of skirting board.
Great video! But I don't think that customer really cares about cleanliness. LOL. That much dirt on the baseboards and about a month's worth of dog fur in the space in the floor.
Installing a new baseboard and painting it will be easy and better.
That's my thought too
Some of us rent and it's not worth it to buy and replace all the baseboards for the benefit of the landlord. All,u can do is clean and repair the mess they have you living in lol
@@aleks-33maybe think of it as money vs time? I am a homeowner and re-did all our bedrooms with essentially this method, but looking at the hallways and living room now, I cannot take that much time to fill every ding and scratch when the baseboard is 55 cents a foot and the shoe is 40 cents a foot. Even if I made $20 an hour, I would save myself an intense amount of time by just buying the 20 feet(or, one hours worth of trim) that were repaired in this video with baseboards as bad as mine (comparable to this). That said, I already had a nail gun ($200 when I installed some simple coffered ceilings and crown molding), so there is an expense there, bit I am borrowing a friend's miter saw and will be done much faster than trying to cut out, sand, fill, sand, prime, fill, etc. Just a thought.
Great video though.
All good tips for a million-dollar residence but I wouldn't go through all of that effort for that place where you're working
I'm wondering, if it's actually cheaper or easier to just replace the trim?
Spooges?! LMAO.😂
you should sculpt
The previous guys probably didn't get paid enough to have a choice to worry about it happens all the time in decorating a lot of people think its a peanuts job
Doesn't matter how much prep he does besides the obvious punching the nails thru... Hrs never going to make that baseboard look brand new..... Once it's old and fucked up...dings...your never going to make it look brand new... yeah you can make it look refreshed but most people don't want to pay the actual cost to do this much prep on ALL their base in their house... This guy did on a little 12ft run of base... Most people would rather pay some Mexican $200 to come do a quick job...I've been a professional painter for close to 10 years trust me I know... Most people don't want to pay the actual price it takes to do crazy in depth prep... Have to stay competitive... And this guy doesn't have much experience caulking or painting... and the fact he laid down a drop clothe to paint baseboard is non sense... He should've had that down before he made the multiple messes that he had to vacuum up... So sick of non painters trying to sell BS for views....
And he's literally using wall paint for the base when there's is plenty of options of paint that is specifically designed for trim that is more durable
@@nothingsimpostleble1593 sometimes you can get them looking brand new but yes a lot of the time if the customer or previous painter as painted them wrong then apart from burning them off which would be very costly you can only get them to a point but its still takes a fair amount of time
@@nothingsimpostleble1593 some wall acrylics you can use for woodwork though like you say not really durable enough but then most acrylics that are designed for woodwork ain't durable enough anyway especially when it comes to dirt pick up and grease and he may have had some wall acrylic left over and trying to do the job as cheap as possible. Thats just how it is sometimes you can only use materials and work to the budget your giving.
@jackwardley3626 Yeah for trim we use SW Emerald trim urathane....it's like $90 a gallon...that's our contractor price...usually it's $110...never ever would we use bher on anything.. It's a shit product
Ah... Why not remove the shoe and replace?
I have to say that that is quite normal the amount of prep you had to do but where you went wrong is in my opinion taping everything up,that is a massive amount of prep just to paint base cove. I do not use anything like that for basecove and I do not end up getting any paint on the floor, I guess it’s because I do it for a living, but something you could consider, for the future is To caulk before painting because there is trim caulk that you can get that is dry and under 30 minutes I use it all the time because if you caulk after you’ll see a sheen difference plus that caulk gathers lots of dust if it’s not sealed with paint That’s a pro tip for you you can use at your next project. I hope you’re being paid well for all that preparation and amount of tape you use, you can significantly cut down on your time by practising more to have a steady hand, and then you won’t need to rely on that crutch. Witch is tape, I am a little bit embarrassed, unless you are not a professional, but your channel is named after a painting company peak painting so if you’re a professional by trade, I think you could make yourself more efficient by taking this constructive criticism.🧡 “ more practice = more confidence = being efficient!
Thanks for the tip re caulking first.
But wait.. So you're saying you paint baseboard with nothing protecting the floor? I.E. That you're that precise with a brush to avoid any and all drips, etc?
@@Eclectic8 Not the guy you’re responding to and I’m not a professional by any means, but I was told to just clean up any paint that spills that get onto the floor really quick with a wet rag that you keep by your side. This is for painting trim only. For a wall or a ceiling… laying down a drop cloth is important. I’m about to paint trim and I’m laying down a drop cloth anyway.
Pretty sure it’s pronounced “cork”
Imagine calling that "yellow" tape.
It kills me when he says "A lot of people miss this", or " Most people don't do this." So much shotty workmanship in this man's life. It's pathetic.
