    Beautiful! Amazing! Caulking and prepping this house was your first video that I found searching for house painting tips. Seeing all the steps and the final product is very helpful. Great editing and tracing skills! I admire your dedication to your job and teaching others! It is inspiring! Best wishes!

    Nice job, I have worked for some real hacks it's nice to see a professional doing it right. Painters have gotten a bad reputation because of shysters but when can show a finished product as nice as that it helps to put there mind's at ease.

    Love your work and advice 🙂.. what do suggest to use for paint for my house that has vinyl siding ? .. I’m in New England I see my options for paint are Benjamin Moore , Sherman Williams and other major store like homedepot and Lowe’s , I have used Benjamin for my interior with great results.

    Great energy, Great pants. Going to use your episodes to help solo paint my exterior house. Would using the Graco 517 tip that comes with the CleanShot be more suitable than a 515 tip to repaint siding from a dark color to a light color? Just figure more paint would provide better coverage using a high end paint such as Emerald.

    Chris, Wondering if you ever use any additives in the trim paint to prevent brush strokes (i.e. Floetrol or similar)?

    Pro tip: aluminum foil is a great masking material for items like water outlets. Only need some 1" tape around the substrate meet point for a clean line.

    I never use sprayers. Most customers tell me they dont want sprayers used on thier homes. I brush and roll. I never have to waste time making off windows etc..I just lay tarps over concrete...I roll doors and never get stippling because I use Paint extender Flo troll...Its always windy in Kansas..

      Thanks for the input. The facia and gutters will be the same color. But different than the soffit. So I was thinking maybe spray the gutters and facia together and then spray the soffit, but I wasn’t sure how to protect the facia from overspray when spraying the soffit.

      Also, can you make a video about how your time in the military may have helped or hindered you to become a contractor? What were some lessons that you learned in the military that you still apply to your everyday work life? I used to be a painter and I thought I was already effecient at my trade. but I've been in the now only 5 months and I can already see major improvements i need to make as soon as I my service ends. I could have worked harder than I already was. (also I can now see how free it is to be a civilian) only 5 1/2 years to go.
