    I am doing my house at this moment and it really can be a daunting job but made it look very doable if you just take your time and do not get frustrated. I last painted this house in 2007 when my father died along with my mother who was in her late 70's at the time and I was in my 50's. Now I am 71 and doing it alone this time. Thank you for all your input, your video is helpful.

    I thought this was very helpful. There are always critics but I thought it was very good for the first time DYI person. If you are a pro or experienced, you probably do not need to watch this video. I am going to have my college age daughter watch this and then this will be a summer father / daughter project. Can't wait to get started.

    Here's a tip they left out, with all the peeling paint they had you must use a bonding primer on the peeling areas such as Peel Stop, Peel Bond, etc. It is a clear bonding primer that actually seals the edges of the peel spot to diminish future peeling. It actually works like glue. Once I found this product I would never paint a house that had peeling paint without it It will decrease your future peeling by as much as 95%. I'm surprised a Lowe's video left this out since they sell it.
    But, I've known pro painters that still don't use it and spend a lot of time doing customer service work going back to a house that keeps peeling sometimes with in months.

    • @c1rca23
      @c1rca23 2 года назад +3

      If you properly scrape, sand and and prime the wood, it’s most likely you don’t need the peel stop. However if you do a quick budget job and don’t remove all of the loose paint and sand to a smooth finish, it may be more helpful

    Gosh I reallly appreciate how dedicated Lowes and Monica are. We can learn so much and it's so encouraging. This is a rough house and a big project but you guys make such a complete tutorial. A lot of RUclipsrs would just pick the easiest project to film or do and you can barely learn as much

  • @ernestgeorge862

    Great video Monica, I learned a lot considering I've painted a house three times. The first was my dad's house when I was 17 and had just graduated from high school. My own house I've painted twice before. It is a stucco house. It's been a good 20 or more years since I painted it last (we've lived here 43 years) and even though it still looks pretty good, I'm 70 now, so I need to paint it while I'm still young. Next time it needs paint I'll be dead. Thanks for all the good tips, I learned a few things.

      Depending on the insulation they provide exterior paint might still be advantageous... Not that Americans are expected to insulate well 😅.
      Not having wood warping with moisture changing is good too.

I can imagine staring at the before project being completely overwhelmed. Really you need a team crew to paint this! That whole house requires paint! Yikes!

    On the ladder situation he’s almost right but I’ll hold the rungs when climbing not the rails. Also the ratio for a ladder is 4:1 as in every four feet it goes up you give it one foot away from the wall.

    I second her choice of painting with Duramax. I used it on my 1920 house, and it was the only paint that didn't peel off. I would avoid matte finish paint on a house, because it doesn't hold up to UV and rain as well as a slightly glossier finish.
