Have a tip? Leave it in the comment section here.
Never run the pressure washer dry.
If it’s running the trigger should be pulled even if it’s pointed straight up.
When starting pull trigger to relieve pressure.
When moving pressure washer around the job site remove the hoses. It’s worth the 60 seconds.
If you don’t use chemicals how do
You deal with mold
And mildew?
Here in NY there is a lot of that.
Maybe not in Idaho?
Thanks
God Bless you and your family plus businesses 🤞🏾💙💪🏾

Dude, I just paused the video and thought to myself... wow, thank you for taking the time out to show us this video.
Glad I could help!
@@Idahopainter Yes thank you sooooo muuuch and thank you to the camera guy or gal and editor. So much work and planning goes into quality videos that people don't appreciate
@@Idahopainter
I would suggest time stamps on your videos if possible. Especially on long videos like this one.
Dude I have one of those rotating pressure wash tips and it rocks
How much weed you smoke lol
I've been doing painting recently and it's a tough and physical job. The actual painting is the easiest but people don't realize a lot more goes into painting a house, especially very tall ones. It's a tough job. Painters have my respect. And it's definitely not for the faint of heart if you don't like heights
Well said!
Great stuff man . I’m a California license painter . Just moved to Texas and man I’ve seen really bad painters . They will paint a house that same footage in 3 days . Really sloppy work . Now in days dudes don’t take pride man . Great work
I have a gh230, convertible 24W932 for sale at $6,700. anybody interested?
No one's gives out the level of detail that this man does. Very knowledgeable and explained well. Great educational content.
heh nah hes just the only guy whos got the balls to video this
Thank you so much for this very informative video! After trying in vain to find a local contractor to paint my 77 year old house, I decided to do it myself (in spite of being 77 years old myself and only 4'11" tall.). I started in mid-August and gave myself 3 months to complete the job, since the house needed lots of scraping and sanding, I'm doing it in my spare time (and need frequent "arthritis breaks"). I'm in the home stretch now, and all your tips were invaluable. I didn't try to spray it, since I had no experience using a sprayer, and since the house has a huge amount of trim work. I was envious seeing how much time can be saved with a sprayer, so if I need to repaint when I am in my 80's, maybe I'll give spraying a try then. :) Thanks again, I couldn't have done it without you!
I’m a Sider and I love you calling out all the crappy Sider’s. I Focus on quality which takes a bit longer but we’ll worth in the long run especially when we have TH-camrs like you showing the customers you get what you pay for
Hey brother, I'm starting over at life and watching this gives me excitement. You're doing what you love, helping others do what they love, you have a great photographer, terrific website and affiliations to help add a little extra value to spending your time educating us which to me is my dream come true and i just started to realize this recently. I'm really experienced in many aspects of construction, remodeling,diy, etc. Spent 15 years in sales leadership and now after a big personal loss I've come to realize i love building beautiful stuff like this. I always thought i needed to do sales and business over manual labor and you have given me hope that all of those things, being a jack of all trades, is actually a master of education and being in service to others. My name is Jonny Hyde, and wanted to say I'm grateful to have access to such incredible leadership for free. I look up to you man. I hope to come back in a year and give you an update to where I'm at in my restoration business and online content journey. Thanks again sir. God bless
I’d be interested in learning about one small part of your sales walkthrough. How do you talk about the paint with your customer? Do you recommend colors and various types of paint? Does the customer already know which paint they would like? Do you try to stick to certain paints and allow the customer to pick the color? What’s the conversation like with your initial walkthrough? There’s is too many paints out there. And thanks for the videos. I can tell you are clearly one of the best. Your patience and ability to work and create these videos.. you make it look effortless. Very impressive.
Yup i wonder abt that too
Never ever help a customer pick a paint color. After the job is done and they don't like the colors you helped them choose they can sometimes want you to repaint it for free because you told them it would look good.
I seriously have taken your videos and paint exteriors verbatim how you do. I have been getting flawless finishes
Love your very meticulous approach. The way you consider every element of the job, from how much inventory to hold and how many types to consideration of every detail of the work technique is the sign of a true professional. Even if you're not going to paint your house, this video is a good instructional on how to just about organize and optimize every job. Great work. So nice to see this level of professionalism.
Your awesome Chris! Efficient & Professional - Could not ask to learn from a better instructor.
Thank you for sharing🤙
As a pro painter, it’s awesome to see another guy thinking about all the nuances and different options to maximize efficiency and quality ect
I would HIRE this young man in a heart beat...he is a MASTER at his job! Paint Life TV, Thank you for sharing your Wisdom, skills, tips and expertise with us! We have LIKED and subscribed to your channel...looking forward to learning more from you! 😀May God Bless you abundantly!
I love your tips, your mentality, your professionalism, and your videos. Wishing you much success in 2021.
Thank you! You too!
Just started painting my house and detached garage and basically followed this video step by step. Thank you.
Glad to help
Also I always get the roller and the brush wet first and spin them out. It makes cleaning them faster bc the ferrule is moistened.
He has probably painted all the surrounding houses by now! Flawless!!
As a painting pro… I love watching your channel and find different ways of doing things.. hey Idaho painter.. when your doing your interior doors here’s something I do after sanding.. I dust them off then vacuum them then I take it a extra step and use a tack rag.. the reason why I tack rag is bc it absolutely grabs any dust left. Awesome stuff to use.. give it a try on cabinets to! You’ll love the outcome !
Thanks for sharing
I just want to say that I'm glad to see that you're using a Titan 410 because that's what I have, though I've felt that I would have prefered having a Titan 440. I'm no professional and feel that the store salesman kinda talked me into the 410 when I initially wanted a 440. Anyway it worked as I painted my house last year but see where I have a couple areas to touch up this year.
You are amazing. We need like 100 of you in CT. :) Thank you for your tips and help.
I’m a professional painter in CT👋🏽
great job Sir ive been painting about 44 years you gave great tips....me i dont mask much at all....that was my early learning curve since i was in college at age 14....we used to do coach painting with a fitch brush but thats rare now due to vinyl, anyway best of luck with the buissness, oh we didnt have access to sprayers back then just rollers and verious brushes and technics and hello from Ireland
For straining, I tape the strainer on the bucket with it about 6-8" up from the bottom inside. Cut a small hole at the top near the seam and insert intake tube. If you have a bigger job, just keep pouring it in as needed and you keep your hands clean.
I just tape it halfway on the bucket and pour paint as needed
I start my own company 6 months ago and your videos are realy helpfull for me thank very much thank you for share blessings
Best of luck!
Here’s a top tip as a painter and Decorator the last 40 plus years when you calk use a semi wet sponge and wipe the calk as you go along rinse the sponge every so often and theirs little or no sanding to do quicker in the long run.
Wet caulk
Thanks for all the very valuable information! I do house soft washing part time, and I'm learning from you about painting. May I suggest that you don't use high pressure while cleaning the exterior? A pump up garden sprayer with 50/50 pool chlorine and water goes a very long way on cleaning a house. You can realistically use a garden hose to rinse it down
Respect to you sire . I’m doing this now and you don’t realize how much you need prepares and cutters till your alone
Glad to help
Your helper is a bombshell dude!! And she can paint!!! I’m in love 😂😂
Your a blessing. Showing a rookie to be a champ painter/businessman 💪🏽👨🏽🎨
Good tool bag situation. Efficiency and logical systems are critical to be a Professional Painter.
Dude, you're to kind to share such thorough insight. If move to Idaho to work for you. Great vids. Thank you so much
Very detailed, thanks for the video. One tip I would give anyone, don't buy cheap caulk, and always, always, always have something to clean up with. I typically use OSI urethane caulking when I need a good caulk that is paintable. Silicone won't hold paint at all, urethane does. A cheaper alternative is latex with silicone added. That is also appropriate for something you need to paint, but do not ever trust latex paint outside. The lifespan of latex plus silicone is 3-5 years. Urethane lasts much longer. 10+ years, depending on weather. It even holds up in a shower very well. It outlasts silicone, but it is very sticky, and hard to clean up. So you need goof off or thinner, and I typically use latex gloves. Occasionally on big gaps you will need soapy water to smooth it as well. Something like 100 parts water, 1 part soap in a spray bottle. You need to caulk the whole gap, before spraying with soapy water, as it won't stick after its wet. Once you get good with a caulk gun, you will barely need to touch small gaps, big gaps you will need to tool it off. Caulking properly is very involved, and it's good to see someone actually cover it in detail.
There are guys that only do caulking, especially on commercial jobs, waterproofing and caulking, sometimes glazing. Precast concrete and glazing jobs like a storefront, you can charge 2 bucks a foot plus materials, easily, as some of the gaps are 2 inches wide on precast installs and you need backer rod, a boom lift, buckets of caulk, etc etc. It's a big ordeal and worth tens of thousands of dollars on commercial buildings.
Anyhow, I'm rambling, but thanks for the video, all the best.
Something that has changed painting for me is using a drill hook that I clip onto my belt to hang my paint pot.
As a first-time home buyer trying to do some DIY projects I have spent hours watching your videos. Thanks for doing what you do man.
Glad to help
Wow, what a thorough video. Thank you very much for sharing!
👍
you are amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!! been painting my whole life on the job site are in my first memory's the core work is there and has changed little, the equipment has truly helped yet it is a extension of a skilled craftsman.. Having the time management and the agility to detail the the body of the project is a art form .. MR Paint Life you are amazing bringing home the bread butter and the bacon.. Much respect ... truly ..
💯 % professional painting
with only a couple different techniques, I would paint that house exactly like you did. Which is weird because if you get 12 painters, they have 12 different ways of doing the same thing, as you know, I'm sure. I've been a licensed painting contractor since 1995 in CT, CA, and now in FL. I've been subscribed since you started: Great Videos, keep at it and maybe some self described "painters" might just learn to do things the right way.
For the soffit lights, I could design and 3d print some threaded light socket maskers. Might make things quicker for some jobs.
I've used cut off ends of soda bottles to mask door knobs, good for interior spraying.
That is a great idea!
I’m also a professional painter, but would never have considered taking on such a large project myself, especially since I don’t like doing exteriors. You gave me the confidence to do it. Thanks Chris. 🙏
I'm a solo painter-20+yrs, the majority of my work is exteriors like this. I always have 2-3 shields ready so I don't have to stop. And always, always strain your paint before loading in the sprayer.
Excellent video. The detail and time you put into this is amazing! Hey, no shame in liking soft hands. I’m a plumber. My wife definitely prefers my hands being soft rather than rough from work.
Thank you🤙
Thanks Timeless
Buy an extension ladder stand off, it give you the distance you need for painting when you are near the top of the ladder. Works like a charm!
Wow man you are very thorough I can appreciate that have you ever had problems with neighbors complaining about overspray on cars or their fence home etc.
Top Class Job Cool as the Breeze the Rock of Painters
If you've got a helper, you could get some electronic earmuffs like Walker makes for shooting. Still hear everything with the mic.
Great to see how easy it is to paint.
No surprise the painter man is *buff* !!! Look at those biceps!
hi. just want to give big thanks for all this effort. newbie painter here, this is all golden! if i may, it would really help if when you describe a condition that you describe (cracks, wear, chips - anything that needs treated or not treated), if possible if you could zoom in on that condition to show more detail of what's going on? all the same, your chanel is amazing and thank you so very much!
Amazing! Extremely professional job!
Cool idea with the numbers I just take a picture and deal with it later but if your spraying them that's cool placing them right in order and already ready to be sprayed.
I was in the coating and waterproofing materials business for a large manufacturer/consultant for 34 years. Last ladder I would use is the collapsible ladder Ive seen those things collapse more than once. Be Careful and dont let OHSA see ya!!
Always learn something new with you. Thanks! Siempre aprendo algo nuevo aqui para mis videos.
Glad to help
I almost never finger my caulk. If you cut your tip at like an 80 degree angle and carefully modulate the amount coming out you can put down a bead of caulk that covers the crack and looks nice. Almost like putting down nice welding beads. Much faster than spreading everything with your finger.
That man worked his butt off!!! I wonder how much something like that costs
3500 sq ft? I'm thinking 5k-ish. Maybe more, especially now days. Full caulk would be quite a bit more. Or just in general if the prep was harder. This house is in quite good shape so didn't need too much prep, even tho he did a good bit of it, it was on the easier side imo.
I'm going to be painting my mom's house next week! I expect it will take a week to do by myself because I will have to paint by hand! My tip is to keep Borax on hand for mold removal and prevention. It has a ph of 9 and mold needs a ph of about 3 to live. Borax treatments on wood make an environment impossible for mold and mildew to grow on
Llllllllp
Thanks for the video! You guys did a super through job at explaining everything. Doing some homework before doing my own house.
Chris, you’ve got great work ethic brother!
Just bought some of the products you recommend in this video, and I have been very impressed. I was painting my exterior for a long time without any good insight or tips on how to do it well or more efficiently. Thank you for providing this very valuable information! I’m happy you have affiliate relationships with some of the product vendors so that I’m able to support the work you do in making this knowledge and skills accessible to us. Thanks a million, and keep up the good work!
Excellent video, thank you for taking the time to put it together. I really appreciate your willingness to share tips that help painters be more efficient, and earn a fair living, while also advocating for the best final product that can possibly be delivered to their customers. I had one question about the pressure washing, I noticed although you start at top and work down with gravity, you are aiming nozzle upwards at approximately 45 degree angle. Could this push water into places it's not supposed to go, causing issues later? Or is this a standard way to "soft wash" an exterior prior to painting? I understand the alternative, aiming the nozzle down, would require a ton more ladder/scaffold/lift time, but curious on your opinion.
Your spot on about washing down never go at an angle better still get up there with the timber and hand scrub it after all you don't wash your pots at home by running the tap over them .Also using caulk is not recommended on exterior surface as its water based and will break down even if over painted.
@@gordonnewton4832 what do you use to fill in the cracks then?
Exterior sheathing (the wood behind the sideing) is water resistant and can easily handle occasional water, so getting some water behind the siding is acceptable.
Exterior rated caulk. I use PL Window Door & Siding Sealant. There are many good exterior caulks.
Great job Chris. The house looks refreshed.
Nice great job brother! Awesome videos and no chemicals 💪🏼
Green tip on the pressure washer is best. The rotation tio misses a lot and can cause damage. 30 years experience! Trust me when I say the green tip is what to use
Thank you for the tip on not to run your pressure washer for more than a minute without pressing the trigger to avoid damaging the pump.
Great tip!
Love the video, was just wondering why the gutter downspouts had the hanging chains? Never seen that before. Excellent video! 🇺🇸
Acts as a downspout.....
My tip for caulking is "less is more". It is easy to hit the seam a second time but hard to get rid of extra caulk.
Awesome video! Thank you... one tip I've found handy is just like you pressure wash from top down, I like to mask from the bottom up with the paper masking so the horizontal upper overlaps the horizontal and vertical lower masking and protects better from overspray as it falls
I bet all the fake shake ect is because most people cant afford real shake!this video is the best one on painting prep for exterior house ive seen to date!
Do u come to michigan!? Id like a painter like u to paint our home!😂
A true professional
I'm not the cable guy or an electrical, but I can vouch for that hole in just about every home we re-side. It takes a $10 tube of caulk and 30 seconds. No excuse for siding installers, they should have the color match on hand. Homeowners should check theirs and call back which ever service, serviced that spot last.
Yep
bro keep the videos coming. i can see you dont have to work. but doing what your doing will keep you going. now your on the fun part of the trade. its all playtime now buddy
I appreciate that.
Talk about comprehensive! Thank you so much!
Glad to help
Excellent work. 👍
Thanks
love this guy he's a pro
I never get used to a beautiful home that dosent have a basement. I know some environmental reasons as rock or high water but Id always want a basement!
Me too
Thank you for explaining the sequence
we used to use Bardol in Ireland rince after a days work and all was clean even under nails
Great oportunity for me to Learn the Técniques from hand of expert Thanks
Always welcome
Thanks for showing us your guns💪
Couple of questions
Why don't you prime the entire house?
Why don't you prime before applying caulk?
Why do you start painting from the bottom up?
Why don't you protect the roof shingles from drips etc.?
Why don't you brush out your roller/ spray paint applications?
Just a couple of questions....
I use to be a painter but business sometimes has a mind of its own
I LIKE YOUR VIDIOS THEY LET ME PAINT ON THERE HOUSES IN HOLLYWOOD HILLS AND SOMETMES I NEED A FEW TIPS OR POINTERS AND YOU NEVER EVER DISOPOINT ME.KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDIOS
Also, peel bond or primer Rx are designed to be put in thick.. airless can lay on the most and smoothest finish.
Hell I've rebuilt boards it of it
54:00 Bottom door legs rot prevention tip. slit the very bottom with a multi-tool and fill with caulk to prevent it from absorbing rain water.
OK
Awesome vid man thanks for taking the time to show us. Learnt so much from this cheers 🍻
Great to hear! Thank you for sharing👍
Just watched the whole video. Awesome job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Nappy or diaper bags are cheap and will fit around ceiling spot lights or sockets while spraying.
I appreciate your videos. I’ve learned so much from you.
I could have figured out everything on my own except frame connecting backboard to the 6x6 and your video zips through that part. I just pushed play on video and took pics of video with camera to try to figure out what you did 😅. Other than this it’s all needed. I just gotta buy the wood. Thqbk you!
Great video! Really like your music too! Thanks!
Where do you get the bendable nozzle? For the pressure washer? Love that thing. What about a house with cedar shakes that are blackened over time? If the customer wants the shakes pressure washed to look brand new and just paint the trim? What chemicals do you use then? I use a product called clean. You spray it on, wait 15 minutes, then pressure wash it off. It takes mold, dirt, and 98% of those black shapes down to brand new. Then I follow that with Brighten. Another product made by the same company that makes the clean. Again you spray it on, wait 15 minutes, then pressure wash. It really just cleans a little more but brightens up the wood, makes it lighter. So the first day, clean. Second day, brighten. Then the third day after the house is dry from the brighten I give the house a quick wash down, basically just making sure I got all the dirt, mold, blackness, and the chemicals I used off the house. Then I scrape, sand, caulk, fill holes, prime and paint the trim.
Ok it might take a professional such as yourself 6 days you're average person not so much just saying. Ohh by the way u are amazing at what u do🤛💥💥
In Ohio wish you were in my town great job !
Thanks👍
Awesome work Chris!
Thank you Skiller
I used to put the tape in my mouth too, but if you have multiple people doing it and the roll lasts more than that job, ya'll get the mouth herpes lol :D
Not good👍
Always nice to learn from a real painter, not someone like my boss ahah
👊
Great video. good tips. You are very professional.
Thank you so much for all the great information.
Great job am suscríbete to you Chanel , you are very professional and very clearly thank you again God bless you 👍🙏 I live in shout of California the whether is more hot and to draining 👍
Best tip ever for caulking is you use your index finger as a guide and as you whipe with your finger as you caulk only a one time swipe . Trust me it will change your life .
If no one "bashes" then the industry will never improve. Siders don't care because they don't need to be licensed and by the time the problems show up they are long gone.
Amazing video great explaining and in depth knowledge
Glad you liked it!
