Dude, I just paused the video and thought to myself... wow, thank you for taking the time out to show us this video.

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

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 seriously have taken your videos and paint exteriors verbatim how you do. I have been getting flawless finishes

No one's gives out the level of detail that this man does. Very knowledgeable and explained well. Great educational content.

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 KZfaqrs like you showing the customers you get what you pay for

He has probably painted all the surrounding houses by now! Flawless!!

Your helper is a bombshell dude!! And she can paint!!! I’m in love 😂😂

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.

Your awesome Chris! Efficient & Professional - Could not ask to learn from a better instructor.

Your a blessing. Showing a rookie to be a champ painter/businessman 💪🏽👨🏽‍🎨

Amazing! Extremely professional job!

Dude, you're to kind to share such thorough insight. If move to Idaho to work for you. Great vids. Thank you so much

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

Wow, what a thorough video. Thank you very much for sharing!

Thanks for the video! You guys did a super through job at explaining everything. Doing some homework before doing my own house.

💯 % professional painting

Good tool bag situation. Efficiency and logical systems are critical to be a Professional Painter.

Top Class Job Cool as the Breeze the Rock of Painters

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.

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.

Just started painting my house and detached garage and basically followed this video step by step. Thank you.

Chris, you’ve got great work ethic brother!

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.

Nice great job brother! Awesome videos and no chemicals 💪🏼

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

Respect to you sire . I’m doing this now and you don’t realize how much you need prepares and cutters till your alone

Always learn something new with you. Thanks! Siempre aprendo algo nuevo aqui para mis videos.

A true professional

Great video! Really like your music too! Thanks!

I appreciate your videos. I’ve learned so much from you.

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!

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.

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 !

I start my own company 6 months ago and your videos are realy helpfull for me thank very much thank you for share blessings

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.

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

Talk about comprehensive! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for all the great information.

Great video. good tips. You are very professional.

Thank you for your tips and help.

Awesome vid man thanks for taking the time to show us. Learnt so much from this cheers 🍻

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 ..

No surprise the painter man is *buff* !!! Look at those biceps!

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.

It’s just thorough and properly prepping (while caulking) and not cutting corners….. I’ve sometimes taken 2 full days before water finally ran clear while pouring over my hamburger raw meat, smear fanger… I said it…. What?? Always running a tight ship cod, I like that ooh rah attention to detail stuff though…. cant help it… born at the island and went back to further my education in attention to detail annnnnd my ol man, uncles and grandad ALLLL professional painters. I’ll be ordering in the very near future from you a spray gun whip… Im itching to work with one and break in my new sprayer ang gun that rivaled the price of the entire sprayer, which i modified my generic 4 finger spray gun into a 2 finger sprayer, which I owe ALLL the credit to your vids and expertise here on the tube…. You sorta made painting not so mundane and redundant and dare I say, “Interestingly therapeutic and………Fun?????!!!!" AS YOU WERE, HARD CHARGER!!!

Great to see how easy it is to paint.

Just watched the whole video. Awesome job!

love this guy he's a pro

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

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.

Excellent work. 👍

Very informative, thank you!

Thank you for explaining the sequence

Amazing video great explaining and in depth knowledge

Awesome video, I learned alot.

Something that has changed painting for me is using a drill hook that I clip onto my belt to hang my paint pot.

Amazing job 👍🏼

Awesome work Chris!

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.

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.

New vídeo, BAM!!!

Thanks for showing us your guns💪

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.

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

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.

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

I use to be a painter but business sometimes has a mind of its own

Awesome video 👍

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.

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.

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 👍

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!

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.

Thanks Chris for all the videos you put out! Im curious how you paint a house if the eves are a different color from the walls? In what order do you paint them and do you spray or roll the eves?

Great oportunity for me to Learn the Técniques from hand of expert Thanks

Love the video, was just wondering why the gutter downspouts had the hanging chains? Never seen that before. Excellent video! 🇺🇸

Didn’t know John Cena painted houses what a legend. Haha

Great videos! With new James Hardie cement board and batten are there any areas you don’t caulk before paint to allow movement- of course the battens will need caulk and around doors/windows, but is there anywhere you leave it off to allow water to drain? Thank you!

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!!

beast!!

Great videos! Question for you. How do you address longitudinal splits and cracks in real wood siding? I have old painted redwood beveled lap siding on my house. Thanks!

Great information

Good video chris

Thanks for the good video...

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.

That man worked his butt off!!! I wonder how much something like that costs

Good tips

we used to use Bardol in Ireland rince after a days work and all was clean even under nails

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

Great video!! What tool do you use on the ladder that keeps it from scraping or vending the gutters/roof ?

This is great information!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for us! I would love to try this myself but I have a very large, high two-story home and it makes me nervous to get up to those high places. How much should I expect to pay someone to do this for me (ballpark)?

Nappy or diaper bags are cheap and will fit around ceiling spot lights or sockets while spraying.

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. 🙏
