The information about caulking butt joints is exactly what I was looking for. So, thanks! I intend to caulk the large gaps in particular, but it seems the smaller ones may want to be caulked too so they look uniform. Also, my cedar shakes are textured. That is, with vertical ridges. If I sand during prep, I'm concerned I will flatten out the ridges and this will make it look spotty after it's painted (flat areas vs ridged). Thoughts/suggestions?

@thomasarchibold6678 Yes, you wouldn't want to sand (at least power sand) the ridged cedar shakes, as you are correct, you will damaged the ridges. That is the toughest material to prep. Best practice there is to use a small flexible scraper, and a wire brush combo to knock off any loose/flaking paint, amd you can skip the sanding in that case. You can try some manual scuff sanding with a block or paper for trouble areas, but thatvis cumbersome with the ridges. Scrape/brush and then use a great primer to spot prime Amy area with raw wood

@thomasarchibold6678 Also, are you referring to caulking the joints of the cedar shakes where they meet? Or do you also have horizontal clap board? You dont want to caulk between all those shakes...if gaps are that large you honestly need to consider replacement of the shake
@thomasarchibold667814 күн бұрын
@@braunspaintingnetwork Thanks for the reply! I've replied here twice, but it seems it gets removed - maybe because I posted a link to a photo of the siding on Google Drive. Yes, I am referring to the vertical gaps between adjacent shakes. I asked if I should scuff sand, caulk the larger gaps, spot prime, then paint, or not caulk the gaps, scuff sand, prime everything, and then paint? It would be better if I could post a photo...

@thomasarchibold6678 Can't say about the other posts, must be a KZfaq policy on removing those, I didn't see them. Regarding those vertical seams between the shakes, those are not suppossed to be caulked. The butt joints in the video was referring to horizontal, clapboard style cedar siding where there are a handful of butt joints on horizontal runs of siding. With cedar shake, the number of seams are substantial and not intended to be caulked. If you have large gaps between shakes, you may need to consider replacing those shakes with a piece that fits tighter. If it's only a few, you could caulk for aesthetic reasons but don't caulk all of them. Regarding the prep, important to wash, then scrape/ brush away loose paint, you can scuff sand manually with a sand block or paper but I'd just worry about the areas with exposed raw wood. As you said, a power sander will damage the ridges. Then spot prime the areas where raw wood is showing. I hope that helps. If your home was built before 1978, make sure you know whether or not you could be disturbing old lead paint before you scrape/sand

@SD-nh5yr Another thing I'll add, as beautiful as bold colors are, just be cognizant that they do show dust and grime a little more than white, and because of all the colorant added, they are a little more prone to scuff marks from sneakers (for islands with stools for example)

@braunspaintingnetwork26 күн бұрын
Thanks for the feedback. I will continue to work on improving the content. I do agree the early portion of the video is talk heavy, that's why I kind of went with a podcast style presentation because I didn't want to gloss over some important details regarding safety and the house wash. I wish I got video of the washing process and more caulk video but I tried to be as informative as possible with the available clips I had. I'm working on improving my planning and process for content. I'm glad you found some good info. We did do a short on prep that is all video and music and no talking

You need some pitch hoppers in your life. I don't even use my pivot tools on roofs anymore. Absolute game changer for roof work, buy at least 8 of them and buy the yellow ones your ass will thank you later.
@braunspaintingnetworkАй бұрын
Great suggestion, I know those pitch hoppers look amazing, and I've been intending to get multiple of them. I will always have a use for the pivot tools, but yeah, I'll need to prioritize the pitch hopper. If they were readily available in local suppliers, I would have already had some, but I'll definitely add some to my arsenal. We do about 85% interior work so we don't do a ton of challenging roof work, but I will get a few of them.

Haha, I understand your opinion, it is beautiful. The client is committed to a change, and it will look great with a whitewash as well. I understand your thought though, same thing with painting kitchen cabinets, some people can't imagine it while others fall in love with painted cabinets. We've done quite a few whitewash projects that the clients love. You have to be committed and sure of the change, that is for sure. That's why we do sample work for our clients first.

Hey Steve great video thank you. Was the white base coat Balboa Mist(same as walls)?
@braunspaintingnetwork8 ай бұрын
Hello, sorry we never got back to you on this! That is correct, the first base coat we applied was Balboa Mist (the same color we used on walls). We cut the paint in half with water. Once all the brick was covered with that, every third brick we put a second coat on so it was more opaque in appearance. Then we used Revere Pewter (cut in half with water) every third brick so that you had three different bricks in the pattern seen in the video. 1 brick was Balboa one coat, another brick 2 coats of Balboa, and the third brick was second coated with Revere Pewter.
