Thank you for looking after your tenants. We bought a former rental last year and they "fixed" a chair sized hole in the drywall (there were several large "repairs") by stretching drywall mesh over the hole and gobbing on plaster in what looked to be two coats. I went to sand it flat and my hand went through it. Our last place had no insulation and we didnt know it. They sent out a tech to see why my stove was shocking me and why we kept losing electronics and when it rained more than 2 inches we just unplugged anything critical. They did replace most of the insulation but they stopped where the hose couldnt reach... over hte masther bedroom... and never fixed the stove. Weve been in the new house a year and I still jump sometimes when i touch a pan but its usually static because we have a glass top stove lol

"If you're gonna spend good money, have good technique" is words to live by for any professional or hobbiest, for darn near anything. I learned this with film when I started photography, and again when I started other hobbies, particularly woodworking. Companies sell schlock to make you feel you can skip the technique, but in the end you can't.

Here's a tip on how to paint an entire door in one shot. Take 2 pieces of scrap lumber (2x or 1x) around 3' to 4' long. Drive a wood screw through the center of each piece of scrap lumber into the underside of the bottom rail of the door, a few inches in from each edge. Now you can stand the door up in the middle of the room, garage, driveway, etc. and paint all sides at one time.

Hi, I just found your channel. Back in the late 1970s, I worked for a remodeling company to put myself through college. Over the decades, I've done quite a bit of remodeling to our home. My specialty was painting, particularly the "hard jobs" like French doors or multi-pane windows. Never used tape and never had runs. I was taught to never paint out of the can but to always use a paint bucket (and a quality sash brush). You don't want to scrape the paint off of your brush using the rim of the paint can (or bucket). Instead, dab the brush about an inch deep into the paint and gently tap each side of the brush against the side of the bucket. This can keep you from forcing paint well up into your brush and ruining an expensive brush. Having a limited amount of paint in a paint bucket is easier to work with (easier to hold for an extended time), and if you ever drop it, it's less paint to clean up.
@knowbody4903 Рік тому
I've done the tap method as you suggest Chris... (Was taught by a professional painter).... I now use Jeff's method, I work faster because I can load more paint in the brush and the outside the brush is nearly "dry". I'm not a pro, but I do a lot of renos. I meticulously Clean my brushes and I do notice more paint in the high bristles.
@jamesfinney8841 Рік тому
I've been taught by pros as well and they would paint out of the can sometimes. It doesn't really ruin the brush to dip the brush too far in. You can always wire brush the dried paint off and get it clean again. I've worked several different comapnies and they all have their way of doing things. Some better than others

@FrancisSiuChock 2 роки тому
Thank you for another awesome video! Great comparison of brushing and rolling vs. spraying. You are bang on with spending more on QUALITY paint vs the low end paint. The time you save on (labour cost) painting extra coats is well worth it. You can also really see the difference when the paint starts to atomize and dry, so much better quality. Also, you will see the big difference when you ever need to clean, better quality cleans so much easier and is way more durable. I really cannot tell you how much better the end result is using a sprayer. We just finished our entire kitchen cabinets and backsplash using a HomeRight Super Finish Max using Sherwin Williams UltraBond Primer and Classic Pro Gloss. A little tip is to have some carboard to test spray and see how the droplets are coming out of the sprayer before you start.
@doze329 2 роки тому

Jeff, this kind of content is GOLD. Those of us who've done a few jobs like this and are looking for ways for a more high-quality result love these kinds of tips and tricks. Since you asked, I've had good results doing interior painting with some of the Sherwin-Williams products sold at Lowes. About $30 a gallon, doesn't sag, decent coverage, easy clean-up. You do get what you pay for, but not all the big box paints suck, IMHO. I like to prime first with Zinser 1-2-3 (cheaper than paint) High quality brushes and rollers and a well-prepped surface are a must.

Thanks for the advice as to where to buy paint. He used to say he hated painting, but whenever he was laid off as a UAW factory worker, he would immediately advertise and quote painting, and one time went to work for a large company. My dad always bought his paint at the paint store like you do, but I never thought there might be a particular reason. The only thing I remember was one time after quoting a residential customer, and when the job started the customer coming back with how they got a "better deal" on the paint, was that he said he could no longer do it for that price. He told me, "Because that stuff is like painting with ink. It won't even cover in 3 coats and he isn't done buying paint like he thinks he is either." Besides rollers, he had a huge brush too. The paint crew company asked him how he could swing that thing and asked where he got a brush that big, and that it was the size of a glue brush. (whatever that is) I've never seen one that big in a store. He didn't like work for the company because he said the made him paint in a way that couldn't do a good job. I don't know how he could hold his hand over his head like that for that long with the huge, heavy brush on our swirl ceilings. After he retired the first time, he went to work for a rental property place to paint for many years. After that, he got a job at a big-box store chain where he, you guessed it, painted for many years, until he fell and broke his back at 89 and got a retirement from there too. During this time after we got our own houses, whenever he saw something that needed painting, he would come over and paint. He coached me some, but he got more done in a hour with his huge brush than I could get done with a roller, and do a better job, so there wasn't much time to learn. LOL!

I love the honesty so brutal I’m not a pro I bought purdys and cheap brushes come to find out I just suck at painting. 😅 Thanks Jeff anytime I do a DIY project I watch your videos.

17:53 - you speak the truth. I will never go back to box store paint. Wait for a 30% sale and the price will be reasonable. Quality it so worth it. Makes painting enjoyable.

Big box store paint is just as good you just have to make sure you don’t buy the cheaper grades, been using them for 10 years in my business works just as well for less money and I don’t have to wait for a sale

You're flipping my world upside down Jeff! Using painters tape for painting! Next thing you know I'm going to see you use electrical tape for electrical!
@MosinMan76254 2 роки тому
Lol, nah... electrical tape is only for boo boos and guaranteed to stop the bleeding.

@PJ TheWonderCat Or masking tape on masks!

Omg 😲 I do that too (using caulk between pieces of trim. I love watching your videos man
@sama.2586 2 роки тому
Pro Tip: Putting a tiny bit of dish soap on your fingertip makes the caulking come out perfect smooth and nothing sticks to your finger.

Saliva works better lol
@curtisbme 2 роки тому
Works but if you have a lot, the best way is to have a sponge or other wet material along with paper towel. Wet finger, wipe a bit, clean excess from finger on paper, repeat.

I’ve been watching your videos most of the day. I’m in the process of renovating another home I bought. I’ve learned so much from you already and am looking forward to putting your techniques to good use. Thank you so much for your time and effort making these sensational videos.

I've gone to a a big box paint for my own trim and door paint. Behr Alkyd. Been getting good results with it. I'm sure there is some paint store brand that is better in some aspect but it works well, and is available everywhere and I know I have a matching white. On the faux wood texture doors I've been brushing but on the smooth doors a foam roller gives me the right texture.

Your product levels is good. It is like someone going to Walmart for a discount on Goodyear tires vs going directly to a Goodyear store thinking they are getting the same tire!

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all the tips and tricks on how to tackle it with a professional result without breaking our wallet.
@glenprovenzano6956 2 роки тому
Great video I wish I watched this before I painted my doors with a gallon of ten dollar paint from a discount building supply store. Two days later I was still seeing marks and see through! Never again. This guy is a real professional I did everything wrong. Almost funny when I think of what I did compared to the way he works.

I'm a big fan of taking the hinges and strike plates off before finishing the trim, especially if you're staining. I've unhung a couple of doors over the years to have open passageways and _not_ having to touch up under the hardware is great.

I like using FLOOD/PPG FLD4-04 Penetrol Additive with paint for a smooth finish when I’m painting doors or wood trims around my house. Always looks impeccable! 👌🏻

@Mark19895 2 роки тому
So I love all the info you give love to see it visually so I can gauge better when I do things but for the life of me I cannot see that sprayer, spray that paint, or how it looks on the trim, could you do this again but with a different color paint in a future video?

@Jennifer-kk8tt Рік тому
Have to say I just love your videos! I've picked up a few tricks and tips from you to make jobs a lot easier. One comment though as muralist and painter for over 35+ years. Yes brush quality matters very much and you do get different results based on how much money you're willing to spend on a paint brush. Better brushes hold more paint, they’re balanced better for your hand, do cutting with ease, spread paint evenly, and you don’t get that annoying bristle loss that you experience with cheap brushes where you have to stop and pick bristles off the wall. I tell people if you're spending the money on good quality paint, you should be buying good quality rollers and brushes. It's a shame to spend 80-90 a gallon to have a poor looking job because you went cheap on the appliers. :)
