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.
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.
Still need to sand it tho?
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
Thank you for that bit of information, I appreciate it!!
That’s why they don’t use it, so they are paid to keep going back 😂
Great video! Thanks for using a challenging project as an example. It always drives me crazy when DIY videos use an easy project that never is as complicated as the real thing!
I'm a painter I literally do almost exactly the same process as this video, great video and good detail.
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
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.
Thanks Stephen...and that sounds like a great project for you two! Good luck!
Dang, what a massive project. Looks awesome.
So great thank you!! You have made it seem so simple and doable !!! Thanks for the instructions, my house isn’t that big and I’m going to save thousands and do it my self!! I’m a 50 single mom , always relying on ex for home projects - which never completed. I got this!
This is why I like brick and stone house. But it's beautiful once freshly paint! Good job!
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 hate painted bricks.
@@saulgoodman2018 - some bricks are really ugly though! 'Traditional' red bricks that are not 'perfect' though, yea, those types should NEVER be painted
I have been a DIY'r for many years, from my businesses to my home. This is the most detailed and best video walkthrough I've ever seen.
The stabilizing hardware placed on that ladder is an absolute must if you don’t work on ladders regularly you need this tool
I'm sure behind the scenes there was a team of a dozen people working on this.
So? What’s your point?
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.
Hope youre doing well and staying safe during these crazy times Ernest.
You are gonna live to be 120... Right? =)
🤣
:(
Wya Ernest?
Do this for my house. These are amazing tips. Thanks, Monica. We love your work.
She killed it! I’ve been a painter for quite a long time and she quite literally covered everything. I like the way the video is instructed aswell. For any beginner or DIY’er looking to do this, this is the best video to go off of.
I’m not even planning to paint anything, but I watch and listen carefully what Monica said.
Absolutely love the color and the door against the copper lighting! I also love the shingles tip!
Watching this video made me feel better about painting my house and knowing that my house will have a lot of character.
Haha I thought the ame thing, even if it looks raggidy I,ll just call it “character”
How did it go?
Perfection...as always!!! I’m totally doing these colors for my house. I have the same shingle siding on the front of my house. 💙
Great Job! It looks like a newly built home and the tips are very helpful to someone who never painted before. Way to Go!
God, how much patience you have - to carry out such a volume of work! It looks great! Very fresh)
Great Video..!!!! The detail and instructions were awesome. This was a big job, but this video shows that it is possible. Thank you
Awesome transformation and you've made me feel more secure that I can do it. Thank you!
Beautiful job 😍. Thanks for another great video Monica!
Give us more Monica in the Weekender!!! Please!!!
🌸Wow!!!!! The finished product was amazing!!!!!💕 How many people actually worked on this project???? Just you two????😳
Those jobs are done by a crew not two people lol
Stunning! Thanks for the tips. I would've caulked before primer. Now I know!
This was right on time!!❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💁🏾
Gorgeous! Great job explaining everything to do and why.
Amazing color, just what i have in mind. Bring that house stand out from the other in that neighboor...im so obsessed.
I really enjoyed this video, very informative and detailed, probably the best one I’ve seen.
This video held my attention for the entire nineteen minutes and four seconds. Excellent!
Looks great! The homeowners did very well on their color choices.
That's an amazing tutorial. Thanks for a great tips. I'll do my next project base on what I have learn here. I am a rookie but I consider myself a quick learning
Wow, that paint job on that house looks amazing!
Your information on this was the best. Now I have the tools to paint my house.
This type of house it will take 3 guys and 3 weeks around to be finished. And all 3 pro painters shingles are harder to paint with a brush between the gaps than with the airless. They make it look so easy. I liked all the colors it looks amazing, good job btw.
Super! Getting ready to paint a tiny house. Learned a lot. Thank you.
Preparing to paint your house the most time-consuming part is replacing Rottenwood scraping off the old paint sanding replacing broken boards and of course caulking and priming painting really is about 30% of the actual work
Dayummmmmm... it looks elegant and majestic
This video is so helpful. I have a paint project coming up and this video really inspired me. And the house you painted...the transformation is incredible, and the colors you chose were beautiful.
We appreciate it Jeff, and know your project will come out great! 💙✨
Nice tutorial; wish I had found this video before we painted our house. Halfway thru I realized it's easier to paint underneath each board first.
This transformation is beautiful and it looks great
Love the pro tips. They are going to save us a lot of frustration.
Woah! I just discovered these Lowes videos. This is a very good instructional vid! I'll watch more
this video is so well done. I actually feel like I know more than enough now. the host is excellent
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.
It looks beautiful!!
Wow!! What a great tutorial! Super detailed, a d live all the little tips!
Wow - you have inspired me!! THANK YOU!
Girl you are awesome! Being that high on a ladder is terrifying to me.
I always enjoy every project you do.
Enjoyable and informative. Thank you!
I like Monica and Monica seles , both are top professionals love from india
thanks! very helpful and the house looks great
I love how this home came out.
absolutely stunning
This is my first time watching

I missed you!!!
-love from the Philippines 🙂
Great job! Great tips! Stay blessed!
Hej hej hej Monica Hej pa dig Monica~ I love your shows!!! Keep them coming!
You're a legend thank you for the inspiration
Awesome Video! I'll be painting a house this coming weekend as I go into Carpentry.
What a fantastic job so proud of you 😍
Looks Awesome. thanks for the tips.
Very nice video, clear instructions. Keep up the good work!
Love the pink door too!
That is a *ton ton ton* of work! The result is amazing! The tips in this video are excellent! However, omg, let's be serious, that is sooooo much *prep work* !!!!! 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! Up the ladder, down the ladder a zillion times! taping, cleaning, cleanup!!!!, it's all why I have huge respect for pro painters.
Looks fabulous!!!!
Awesome. Really encourage me to do it myself.
Great job, appreciate the how to's. ❤ the pink door.
Great video! Very helpful
great job, great presentation!
Great video, very informative. Great job!
When does The Weekender come back? I miss it so much!
Never.
I don’t think it’s coming back either
I wish they would. I wouldn't mind some outdoor projects.
@@saulgoodman2018 Zain
Holy Christopher, that is a huge job. Nice work. Yep, Im painting a one story house. I will not whine or complain!
You can do it!
Good example… beautiful outcome🎉
I’m planning on painting my house. It’s 1/3 the size of this one in the video. I love the finished product.
Omg love this!
Monica miss you and the Weekender!!!!
That's amazing. I would definitely share this video and hug you!.
Nice tutorial and love the Rutgers hat!
Beautiful!!
I found your channel through suggested videos. First I’d like to say I find your videos very captivating. I just started a You Tube channel so I have a lot to learn from channels like yours. Please keep it up! Just subbed!
Only one word....Awesome.
great work! thanks for the tips!
Beautiful outcome
I love your hair came up so beautiful. Thank you for all those tips. This was a very good video I enjoyed it. 👍🇺🇸🙏🏼
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you- this video was a great first tutorial.
A ladder stabilizer is a game changer when using an extension ladder. Without it you will feel like the ladder could shift at any minute and throw you off. With it, you will feel totally secure when working 15+ feet off the ground.
I think I'll just hire my Uncle. Great tutorial and awesome work.
You are so amazing. I watched all of your projects and its awesome im from the Philippines 😭😭😭 how i wish for your creativity and magic
This is such a good timing video for me I’m waiting for the weather to get better to paint my house and it’s going to be a diy work
Beautiful ❤️!
Great job and so much work now I know why people pay for it to be done lol thanks for thr tutorial!
I miss Monica and the weekender soooo much 😭
Excellent video! Thank you- I’m ready to roll :)
Love it!
GREAT JOB
This is dope!
