I don’t bid not a contractor just like watching this guy’s videos you learn a lot.
I’m glad I ran across your channel recently. Our small rental company has been looking to invest in a paint sprayer and after watching some of your videos, we’ve decided to invest in the Titan 440 impact. Thanks for all the helpful videos that seem to cover about any thing we will need to get up and going.Keep the videos coming and be blessed.
Im getting ready to start my epoxy flooring and painting business within the next 60 days. I appreciate the video man its helped give me the confidence i need to press the start button on this business!
How’s it going?
Getting ready to start an epoxy floor business. This helped big time. Thanks a lot!
Me too in my area! I wish you the best brother 🙏🏽
How’s it working out?
Color me impressed. Lol. I just found your channel and dig what you’re doing. When I fling, or toss crushed shell, or flakes, I tend to refer to the action as “broadcasting” with the customers, as it’s the correct terminology and they seem to appreciate this. I love the fact you’re using the Clad line of products for this. I worked on our local 3M plant here about 25 years ago and we used the Clad line back then. We also had to use aircraft stripper to get the old coating off, muriatic acid to etch, Armor Clad for fill. The pot life was impressive and the product was extremely hot. We melted a metal bucket with some leftovers. We weren’t using the waterborne line. Lol. Going to be surfing your vids again soon.
I been subscribed to you for years! I been painting for years and bro I learned a lot from you and your tips bro! Thanks
You don’t grind the floor? I’ve always been told that etching will not produce quality results
Great video, thanks! I’m not a contractor, but I am looking into getting an epoxy garage floor. This was really educational for me because I understand your side of it better and I’ll understand quotes better because if that.
Thank you for taking your time to share your expertise!!!
Wow thanks for some good shows on bids on packs cause its very important
Just started prepping my garage for polyaspartic. I diluted water to muriatic acid 3:1 and i found it did nothing on my newer concrete. even after a couple times. But when i dripped full strength muriatic acid on the floor, it cleared that top coat off perfectly and opened up the pores. I read to never do that though for unknown reasons. So i got nervous and just got my 7" grinder and a double segemented cup wheel and going to town. So much extra work and i don't even know if its worth it. Makes for a stressful job with all this trial and error lol
Why didn’t you rent a 60$ walk behind grinder?
@@nottag8896 you can rent a walk behind grinder for 60 bucks? I thought they cost like 15-30k to buy. Not to mention the diamond blades. Even if it's a few hundred a day I'd give my garage a makeover.
@@glengarbera7367 sunbelt rentals. 60 a day
Those bid packages changed the game for me
Great video i just wanted to ask if you dont think grinding the floor would be a better option since it creates grooves and lets epoxy bond and hold up a-lot better to the concrete
Grinding is an option. Been doing my method for 20 years with success
@@Idahopainter might start trying that out since grinding is a-lot of work and dust
Grinding the floors is a better option, but takes more work and usually ups the cost.
Just remember prices are always contingent on geographic area , business costs and labor costs.
I watch your channel and I also watch Garden Answer. As you and Laura are two of my favorites I’d love to see a collaboration since she is getting ready to have her house repainted. Maybe she has already chosen a painter but, hey, you never know. Since I like you both, I think it could be a good match.
If you don’t use a grinder to make the concrete surface porous, high chance to have epoxy peeling pretty soon
He's an in and out painter, he'll never grind.
Edible estimate packets yummm
Thanks for sharing!
Missing the encouraging scripture,
Keep sharing them, really inspiring.
Are you sanding your epoxy between coats or are you reapplying within a certain time frame?
lol 😂 you don’t grind the floors dude.
Just don’t do Acid etching. Highly probably of chipping. Grind the floor.
Absolutely 💯
Highly recommend a laser tape measure
good tip
I'm to Old. Actually working on my "Last" House.
is the video on interior estimates still in the work? i appreciate these videos getting an appropriate bid is the hardest part of any trade and even if pricing in your area differs from my area this still has alot of useful info and methods of bidding, plus a good start point
On residential epoxy coding, I think 425 is a little high for commercial I think 425 to 450 is good. I’m doing 2000 ft.² building.
Awesome love watching ur videos keep up the great work
Can you make a video showing what the bid package you sale looks like. The one you can edit and the other one
Hello .How much do you charge to spray 2 garage doors and one wood walk in side door on the 2 car garage ?? I am on a job and I painted the 2 doors and the women wanted it Lighter ,so had to repaint the doors again 2 coats, and one wood side door ,,the Paint I used was Arbor sold stain. ? Thanks You are one of the Best!
I need help setting up an epoxy bid proposal. I want to start bidding on commercial jobs. If you can help or throw some tips please. Thank you
That was very helpful, thank you
Just out of curiosity, what did you charge in total for that job ?
Where do you get your epoxy?
Hello , i'm painting a house that has been stained with water base stain some 7 years ago , or so . It's in very good shape , minimal peeling . I'm re-staining the house with the same product . Do you think that back-brushing is still needed in this situation ? Thx , i appreciate your channel .
Chris. What products are you using for your epoxy floors? Pre cat?
How much is the kit for tyle clad 2 ? Is it 2 part mixing? And you like Sherwin Williams better than Benjamin Moore product?
Your sqft price includes material cost?
yes
You are the best man!!!
Thank you
I love this guy…
epoxy for garage floor? polyaspartic have a better resistance right? (for tyre heat things like that) thank you!
No necessarily
Does your quote include the cost of the materials?
Yes
$4 a sq is def the dead bottom price for this work. Ive seen between 4-10 a sq and average being $7
it depends on the area and state.
Cost of living in Idaho is super affordable
@@lexandersantana8089 so I can bet you there someone charging $7 there
bottom? east coast of canada youd never get a job bidding 4$ sqft... i can believe 7$ would fly in southern ontario though
Great video man 🤙
thanks
@@Idahopainter hey man when you say you charge 4.25/sq does that include materials? I'm about to quote my first garage tomorrow. I'm low balling because it's only my 4th one, but just need some insight. Thank you and have a good 4th
Hi there I have e a quick question I have a sedar houce can I caulk that or not in can u tell me why please in thank you n
Idaho painterrrrrrrrr 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Observation and question: why is it that so many professional painters lack any sort of basic decency or grace in their online interactions. It’s unmistakable if you’re a part of the so-called paint community. The hostility and aggression and contempt for others and their questions shameful. Not to say that we’re like a church or something, but it’s embarrassing, the level of ridicule that some of us heap on others. There are saint among us though-Chris, Nick Slavick, the PDCA. But then what could I possibly know, and what insight could I have into the painting world? I’m just a 24 year old who happens to call himself and estimator, and who extended his lunch break 15 minutes to write this ineffective comment.
Do you need a contractors license to have this type of business?
Not in idaho
I love't.😎
Diamond grinding the concrete is the way to go. Even brand new construction needs to be Diamond ground.
Interesting
Interesting you say it HAS to. Been doing garage floors for 20 years and not one failure and I did not grind it. So it has to?
@@Idahopainter The Acid etch makes a great bond. Grind if it needs leveling.
it doesn’t, we offer both they both last the same.
@@Idahopainter So not a single problem with a garage floor job in 20 years?
👍🏽👍🏽
Brah. This isnt epoxy. this is paint.
Wow! Thats an insanely high price to essentially paint a large wall. Its easier than painting a wall being a floor. Possibly 1/2 day of work. That must be one nice bid package for someone to have paid that. 🤣
767 for a guy to throw confetti?!?!?! OMG!
All joking aside. What am I missing here? Is the epoxy coating product really expensive?
What you are missing is being licensed, bonded, and insured; plus taxes, plus material costs, plus a guarantee of quality with no subsequent charge attached to repair if the epoxy fails to adhere, plus the missed opportunity costs of not spending that time doing more lucrative projects or just spending time with family. We have a fixed amount of hours in our lives that no amount of money can increase. How much is your time here in this realm worth?
@@phineusphineas no, im not missing any of that. Business license, insurance, and any extra bonds a business carries post insurance is minimal overhead. You cant cite basic business necessities as a reason to charge this much money. Plus I dont think you speak for Chris.
Every other pricing video I have watched from Chris made sense to me. In fact, I just won a bid using Chris’s pricing model for cleaning and staining a fence (35 a side).
In closing I have done an epoxy floor. It was in a brand new garage that was clean and had just been acid etched. Cutting, rolling, and adding the flakes took less than half a day. It was a garage of this size. Id really like to know what product Chris is using. I have a feeling it was something better than what my customer chose.
You should try doing one sometime. I bet you change your mind on that price. Tons of prep to get it right.
@@MikeWitmerNatureJournal thats the thing, I have. Chris's base price was over 1800. I believe that is labor and material cost. All the prep you speak of , he charges extra. Acid etching, caulking, etc
If it’s so easy, the customer can do it themselves. You can do it for half the price if you’d like. 🤷🏻♂️, ain’t nothing stopping you
Wow i did a garage like that epoxy for 400$
Oh wow! thats cheap
You did the Labor?
@@613kc
Yes bro only labor the customer brought the epoxy materials i just charge labor all materials/tools all out of my pocket
i get that for just a garage door lol
@@doomslayerforever2858
Dahm where do you live
1:10 thought you said edible at first. Great video 😎👍
