My 6 year old was amazed at what you do. He asked me if we could watch the man that knows how to build a house. He wants us to go build one, like it takes an afternoon
You know, it's not a bad way to bring up a kid, building a house. So long as you can keep it safe for them, there's a lot of life lessons to learn that aren't really taught in schools anymore.
A dog house could be built with a similar attention to detail in an afternoon. If you don’t have a dog or know someone that does, an elaborate bird house would work.
You're both right, but I feel like there's lessons to be learned about working with other people that can be learned when working on a house but not something like a dog house or bird house. Either way, helping your parents build a house is an enriching experience, and that's what I was trying to say, apologies if I used the wrong words for it the first time.
As a painter, I must tell you that it's refreshing to hear a carpenter have such nice things to say about painters. At nearly every large job site I was on (back in my day) I was subjected to loathing and ridicule by carpenters who always held the painters in extremely low regard. Thanks for your kind words.
I've been watching since well under 100k subs and since the beginning of this build. It's amazing what you have created, not only with this house, but with this channel. Thanks for all you have done.
12:12 old foam mattress is a great tool. your feet grip to it, and it grips the roof, plus comfortable to sit on when at an awkward angle on hot shingles. We make roof chairs with it to rest tools etc.
My neighbor was a painter, more or less retired now. Until he helped me paint my house, I had never heard of or knew about back rolling. I followed him with a roller and it didn’t take me but a few minutes to learn that back rolling really makes for a much nicer finish. I had to marvel at these guys up such tall ladders. Me and extension ladders don’t get along well. Above about 8 feet, I’m a nervous wreck.
Beautiful work by those skilled craftsmen! For the first time in this entire series, I realized when seeing a passing vehicle at 4:26, that there is a road behind the house, up the hill.
It's really fantastic to see the amount of prep work these guys put in. From prep/paint of the actual surfaces to the protective measures. I like seeing a drop cloth on the shingles. It's labor and it costs, but the difference is visible. Beautiful work.
was just thinking as you said, how clean the gang is that painted the house, here in the u.k you can tell from a mile away who the painters be when on site aas they tend to be wearing it ..... this series has been an utter pleasure to watch... THANK YOU GOOD SIR..and NATE too....
As a painting contractor for 16 years I get a bit of a chuckle when guys come to the job or paint store with perfect whites on every day. If you work on painting homes you WILL end up with paint on you and your clothes. Personally I would rather see a guy with clothes that have a bit of paint on them. Especially if its specs of many different colors. It practically proves he has some experience.
@@srharris88 Yeah a spot here and there is okay. Slathered with it, and I'll think you're a shitty painter. One, it's wasteful. Two, if you're slopping it all iver yourself you're going to bump into something and stamp that surface.
So much of construction is about technical skills, tools, and detailed know-how. But painting includes all that and then adds "art". You really have to understand the ART of painting for your final product to look exceptional every time. Well done gentlemen!
Please make a video answering/responding to critiques, and reflecting the things you would have done differently in hindsight. I love the entire series, and I have confidence that every step was completed to the absolute best of ability, but every experience is a learning lesson. Thank you!
I painted our last house at age 60 and learned at least two things: 1) don't skimp on paint quality and 2) pay a professional to do it if you can. The results using the top end paint versus the lesser quality was staggering. Lots better coverage and easier to apply. We hired a pro to do our current home due to my age and the technical difficulties in painting our current 3 story home. I really enjoyed watching the work being done over doing hours of prep work myself. 😁
Hallo aus Deutschland. Mein Englisch ist nicht so gut, deswegen schreibe ich auf Deutsch. Ich habe mit sehr viel Interesse Ihre Videoserie verfolgt und finde das Haus ist sehr schön geworden. Und die vielen interessanten Bautechniken, die leider hier nicht so umsetzbar sind. Meine Hochachtung vor diesem Projekt. Einfach nur klasse
FTFY from Google translate "Hello from Germany. My English is not that good, so I write in German. I have followed your video series with great interest and I think the house has turned out very beautiful. And the many interesting construction techniques that unfortunately cannot be implemented here. My respect for this project. That's just great"
GREAT JOB! Inside and out. I have been a painting contractor in the northern California area for over 16 years. From what I have seen, its rare to find guys that do this level of a quality. I focus on repaints, and almost every housing track that I have repainted in, had been done by what we call "blow and go". Rarely back rolled walls, little to no sanding on the trim. The wood work inside has brush marks, and done in oil based enamel to save time. Keep up the good work!
A Jamaican guy used to work in a spray booth in a Brooklyn shop, 45 hours per week, for five years! HE WAS DYNOMITE with lacquer finishes.1986-1991.I was the sander; belt, drum, random orbit, vibrating, and hand sanding.Great job painters!
The average home owner thinks a painter is an unskilled laborer. My son is the owner of a paint company and a painter himself. His customers love is work. His golden rule is never bid what you can’t deliver and do not negotiate your price.
As a tradesman myself, and also as your son probably knows very well, most homeowners think house painting is unskilled because that is all they are willing to pay for. And oftentimes what they will hire to do it. I've found a lot of customers could care less what it looks like as long as it's cheap enough. To my endless frustration.
If you paint the house before the roof, you can spray the trim and then roof the house. Regardless, everything has to be back rolled. It saves countless hours when the paint is pre-primered and you can spray the whole house, and just do touch up after the following contractors booger things, because they always do.
@@maxgilbert18 It's true in a lot of cases that if a client wants it cheap, you probably don't want them as a client. It's a great filter for who do avoid doing business with.
14:05 painters tip/ when your on a ladder painting to the right kick out your left foot so that you even your weight and the tip of the ladder doesn’t slide towards the direction your painting and vice versa if your painting out towards the left kick your right foot to the right.
As with almost every of your videos, you capture not only the technique and the attention to detail but also the "working through the pain" moments of people doing the best possible job. I bow my head to those craftsmen!
For cost of using ladder and scaffolding,the use or a genie boom would be more efficient ,the results would be exclerated as well as safety for the crew.
Having stripped and sprayed a 100 years old cedar shake house multiple times over 30 years, I can appreciate the work that went into this job and what it must have cost. But the end result shows what a great job they did. Looks fantastic!
@@SkillBuilder Where I live, it rains a lot. Cedar shingles can turn black, I guess from mold, if they aren't appropriately treated. Most shingles around here are painted, or occasionally clearcoated.
I’ve been painting for 37 years there doing a great job , I wish they would be more careful with there lungs as seen on the video not wearing some kind of mask to prevent lung damage when spraying paint still has harmful chemicals even the new stuff THEY say is safe . Love your quality brother .
They had great attitudes, funny when you have skilled workers that are good at what they do, you treat them well and pay them a good wage, that’s what happens and translates to a successful business. Nice job guys!
What is the reasoning behind not using a respirator/mask while spraying outside? there still appears to be a lot of aerosolised paint in the air (spelling should give away the Brit in the audience :D)
I can't even begin to imagine what the cost of that job would have been, but the results speak for themselves. Hard to tell details in a video, but from this distance it looks incredible.
I love the foam pad on the roof technique. I usually ducttape sponges to my shoes for traction which can be tricky and annoying when going up and down a ladder. Definitely going to change that up and do what these guys did. Any Insight on the type of foam they are using?
A great painter is incredibly high skilled and a blessing. A bad one will cost you thousands in reputation cash and clean up. A bad paint job last the life of the house. A good one is a pleasure to live in and will never be noticed.
Great job, painting that house is A LOT of work. I would love an episode on caulking types and where to use them. The DAP baseboard caulking being used here is only rated for example.
I painted my house myself. 3 story 32x32' house that's pretty damn tall. Its a lot of work. This house is trickier with all the exposed rafters and gables. They did a great job. That would be an expensive house to have painted.
Very nice at first I thought black? But it really pops and looks great. But man is that a lot of painting. Looking forward five years doing it all over again. Wow.
For a house this tall (which isn't much different than my house), it seems like it would make sense to install fall-arrest anchors during the build, both for the builders and for any maintenance tasks during the lifetime of the house. There would be issues with preventing water intrusion and maintaining the integrity of the anchor over time, of course, but those seem as if they would be solvable. Note that I've never seen this done, but as a sometime rock climber, there's enough exposure for anyone up on a tall ladder, scaffold, or roof that I'd be (am) uncomfortable without protection.
There are permanent fall arrest anchors you can install during shingling. When I get a new roof I plan on getting them, if you install them correctly you shouldn't have water intrusion since they sandwich between the shingles
@@JankyShack Good to know about the anchors. I'd be less worried about using scaffolding, since it's a bit harder to make a bad mistake as long as the scaffolding doesn't collapse. Some of the ladder work was something that I wouldn't have been willing to do in the way that they did it, though. I have some idea about the stats on ladder accidents. And there are places on that property where a 10' fall would be very bad indeed. Not saying that the painters were doing anything wrong. They're grownups and get to make decisions, and by the available evidence it worked out fine.. I'm just saying that I wouldn't want to make those same decisions.
@@dougsundseth6904 Than you should see me on a 30ft extended ladder leaning on my gable wall doing stucco with hawk and trowel in my hands. No holding, no harness, legs get locked on the ladder and ladder is screwed to the wall.
Beautiful job! Pretty much anyone can paint to a degree. It’s all in the prep work that makes the difference. Painting=90%prep 10% actually applying paint
@@scottoldham7459 I mean I don't think they meant it like that but I have fixed alot of stuff where they probably shouldn't have painted it themselves. And alot of people get in over there head on exteriors. I drive by one regularly that painted dark, diy, cheap paint and 1 coat and it needs to be redone 1 year later.
@@scottoldham7459 No problem Scott. It wasn’t an insult by any means.I painted for about ten years for a living. I was a strictly prep guy for the first three years. My wife says I take to long painting around the house…but she’s happy when I’m done. Haha!
It is by definition a spec house, at least as far as we know. They are speculating that they will get a buyer and turn a profit. Spec homes don't always have to be production junk, but unfortunately are. This is far from a typical spec home in terms of quality, material and design.
@@NexusCapital Tract or Production Homes are the bottom of the barrel to me eventhough there is a wide range in quality and value. Now that I think of it, whether it's a Production, Spec or Custom home, quality and value can vary wildly in all of them. I think we can agree this is a High Quality Spec home built by an amazing team of Craftsman.
Somehow I have a feeling they will earn more money from the RUclips channel than the actual sale of the spec house :) But it's only fair, as this is by far the most detailed house construction video series anywhere.
I started as a commercial painter straight out of high school while also training off hours in the trades and going to college and can say after years of seemingly no down time I hate painting. I don’t even like doing my own painting and after starting a contracting company decades ago that offers a lot with numerous subs we do not offer painting. Painting takes a detailed eye and preparations to be done right and while you can put incredible effort and work into the “bones” of construction nothing can color an opinion of a job more than the ‘lipstick and mascara”, the finish and paint; and nothing can make someone think they got ripped off near as much as a bad paint/finish job regardless of what went into the construction that they can’t readily see. I like the video documenting if the house and have actually started to increase recording on our jobs as it is quite a record of what was done more than simple photos can express and it’s always nice to see tradesmen that take pride in their work and go the extra mile to make things nice and who will show and admit mistakes; I too have messed up a few sets of stairs in my day.
It’s normal for painters, speed is key for pros lol safety is slow, I’m a painter and I hate how it is but it’s normal for painter to be a little more risky.
@@blakemirabito9563 Normal, sure. Good for your long-term health? Probably not. That's all we're saying, but I know how it is. I remember laboring for plasterers once and suggesting to one of them, a friend of mine, that they use gloves to keep it off their hands and out of cuts and stuff, because it's super caustic, at least the stuff we were using is. His hands are always dried out, cracked, just awful looking. It looks like something I'd rather not deal with, it's always at its worst when you're home at the end of the day and during the night. Needless to say, 10 years later I'm no longer there, but I know they're still not using gloves, because 'they just don't do that'. I don't know, seems kinda dumb to me. I get the feel of the trowel in your hand changes, and plastering well certainly requires a distinct touch, but they'd find that with gloves after a bit of trying. I'll never get it to be honest.
Awesome, there is various approaches that can be taken when painting a new house but overall this was very accurate. And that house was definitely not an easy one.👌
I absolutely hate almost everything about painting (doing it myself). caulking, brushing, or rolling paint, but I don’t mind spraying. Put me behind a sprayer (either airless or hvlp) and I could paint all day. The first time I used an airless sprayer I was hooked. Painted 2 coats on all of the siding on my 1700 SF ranch in less than 2 hours (not including masking time). Brushing is for the birds… I love seeing the transformation paint makes on a house. I also love watching a professional paint crew work. It’s like a symphony in motion. I flip houses for a living and I love watching my painter Raul and his merry men paint my projects. He and his 5 other guys will come in and do an entire interior of an average 2500 SF house in 2 days start to finish (3 days if they have a lot of drywall repair prep). They can usually do the entire exterior in a day on a long summer day. The before and after is always amazing to see.
Nice to see nice painting, and to see fall arresting equipment. I'm not sure anything scares me as much as seeing those folks on your steep roof with drop clothes.
Pro-painters in action ! 😀 Very nicely done and this project looks great. Finding a good painter who cares for a decent price it's tough. Seen some scary both outside and inside disasters , over spray, painted cob-webs, drips on floor and furniture's, just a big freaking mess...
I’d rather frame the house before I paint a exterior of a house like that. I’d have anxiety from the first drop to the last drop lol. Such a massive undertaking in a short time. And to make it come out like that. Stunning what people can do
@@EpicAlcatraz99huh??? Just because someone is concerned about someone else’s health doesn’t make them anything except considerate. I guess you don’t value life then. Paint droplets inhaled will literally take years off your lifespan…
About the only thing I know about painting in general is how to mask off a section of a car in preparation for paint, but boy I know for a fact that that's one of the most important parts of that job, because if that paint gets ANYWHERE it's not supposed to, you might as well sand the whole body panel off and start over, because blending between different coats of paint is extremely difficult (or so said the guy I used to work with that actually worked with the paint). As others have said here on this video, paint is 90% prep work, and 10% actually painting. And if I was going to say it, I'd say that masking is maybe 75% of the prep work, at least in proportion of how important it is that you get it right.
My 6 year old was amazed at what you do. He asked me if we could watch the man that knows how to build a house. He wants us to go build one, like it takes an afternoon
You know, it's not a bad way to bring up a kid, building a house. So long as you can keep it safe for them, there's a lot of life lessons to learn that aren't really taught in schools anymore.

This is a correct statement
Honestly the mustard trim color from the factory and factory siding color looked sharp together.

Beautiful job! Pretty much anyone can paint to a degree. It’s all in the prep work that makes the difference. Painting=90%prep 10% actually applying paint
Pretty much and insult to a degree to every painter who has made a living performing a craft.
Ya everyone can paint 99% shouldn't. Lol.
@@scottoldham7459 I mean I don't think they meant it like that but I have fixed alot of stuff where they probably shouldn't have painted it themselves. And alot of people get in over there head on exteriors. I drive by one regularly that painted dark, diy, cheap paint and 1 coat and it needs to be redone 1 year later.
Sorry Doug, rereading and with the comment below I see you were not putting us painters down. Take care
@@scottoldham7459 No problem Scott. It wasn’t an insult by any means.I painted for about ten years for a living. I was a strictly prep guy for the first three years. My wife says I take to long painting around the house…but she’s happy when I’m done. Haha!
Top top work, as you said superb skills.
This is such a quality custom home. Can’t call it a spec house anymore.
It is by definition a spec house, at least as far as we know. They are speculating that they will get a buyer and turn a profit. Spec homes don't always have to be production junk, but unfortunately are. This is far from a typical spec home in terms of quality, material and design.
@@D2O2 Absolutely I agree. Spec Home just has such a connotation with it that I can’t call it that at this point. I build spec homes lol
@@NexusCapital Tract or Production Homes are the bottom of the barrel to me eventhough there is a wide range in quality and value. Now that I think of it, whether it's a Production, Spec or Custom home, quality and value can vary wildly in all of them. I think we can agree this is a High Quality Spec home built by an amazing team of Craftsman.
Somehow I have a feeling they will earn more money from the RUclips channel than the actual sale of the spec house :) But it's only fair, as this is by far the most detailed house construction video series anywhere.
Man what a challenging house to paint
I started as a commercial painter straight out of high school while also training off hours in the trades and going to college and can say after years of seemingly no down time I hate painting. I don’t even like doing my own painting and after starting a contracting company decades ago that offers a lot with numerous subs we do not offer painting. Painting takes a detailed eye and preparations to be done right and while you can put incredible effort and work into the “bones” of construction nothing can color an opinion of a job more than the ‘lipstick and mascara”, the finish and paint; and nothing can make someone think they got ripped off near as much as a bad paint/finish job regardless of what went into the construction that they can’t readily see. I like the video documenting if the house and have actually started to increase recording on our jobs as it is quite a record of what was done more than simple photos can express and it’s always nice to see tradesmen that take pride in their work and go the extra mile to make things nice and who will show and admit mistakes; I too have messed up a few sets of stairs in my day.
Stunning
Dang some of these guys not wearing masks in a cloud of paint and doing some real sketchy moves off of ladders Lol.
Great video!
Yeah when they're right under the overhangs up top I see multiple clouds of paint floating all around their heads. That can't be good long-term.
It’s normal for painters, speed is key for pros lol safety is slow, I’m a painter and I hate how it is but it’s normal for painter to be a little more risky.
@@blakemirabito9563 Normal, sure. Good for your long-term health? Probably not. That's all we're saying, but I know how it is.
I remember laboring for plasterers once and suggesting to one of them, a friend of mine, that they use gloves to keep it off their hands and out of cuts and stuff, because it's super caustic, at least the stuff we were using is. His hands are always dried out, cracked, just awful looking. It looks like something I'd rather not deal with, it's always at its worst when you're home at the end of the day and during the night.
Needless to say, 10 years later I'm no longer there, but I know they're still not using gloves, because 'they just don't do that'. I don't know, seems kinda dumb to me. I get the feel of the trowel in your hand changes, and plastering well certainly requires a distinct touch, but they'd find that with gloves after a bit of trying. I'll never get it to be honest.
Awesome, there is various approaches that can be taken when painting a new house but overall this was very accurate. And that house was definitely not an easy one.👌
they did a wounderful job
Learn engineering from a new dimension here🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯
wow, beautiful..
I absolutely hate almost everything about painting (doing it myself). caulking, brushing, or rolling paint, but I don’t mind spraying. Put me behind a sprayer (either airless or hvlp) and I could paint all day. The first time I used an airless sprayer I was hooked. Painted 2 coats on all of the siding on my 1700 SF ranch in less than 2 hours (not including masking time). Brushing is for the birds… I love seeing the transformation paint makes on a house. I also love watching a professional paint crew work. It’s like a symphony in motion. I flip houses for a living and I love watching my painter Raul and his merry men paint my projects. He and his 5 other guys will come in and do an entire interior of an average 2500 SF house in 2 days start to finish (3 days if they have a lot of drywall repair prep). They can usually do the entire exterior in a day on a long summer day. The before and after is always amazing to see.
Nice to see nice painting, and to see fall arresting equipment. I'm not sure anything scares me as much as seeing those folks on your steep roof with drop clothes.
Thanks men. Good work.
Be Blessed . above all
Enjoy Elohim !
Amazing finish on the house! I must say though, I personally would have left natural wood in a few places
Love you brah!
😀
Pro-painters in action ! 😀
Very nicely done and this project looks great. Finding a good painter who cares for a decent price it's tough. Seen some scary both outside and inside disasters , over spray, painted cob-webs, drips on floor and furniture's, just a big freaking mess...
I’d rather frame the house before I paint a exterior of a house like that. I’d have anxiety from the first drop to the last drop lol. Such a massive undertaking in a short time. And to make it come out like that. Stunning what people can do
This is really fun to watch but I’m glad I sit behind a computer for my job 🤣
What a beaut!
Sit'n here watching paint dry? Yep. And liking it.
Looks great 👍
Dangerous times to ask a question like this, but why no masks when spraying? Over many years there is bound to be small particles inhaled.
Found a safety susan.
@@EpicAlcatraz99huh???
Just because someone is concerned about someone else’s health doesn’t make them anything except considerate.
I guess you don’t value life then.
Paint droplets inhaled will literally take years off your lifespan…
You painted the wood. That is certainly a choice.
well done i like to paint so appreciate the video
looking good
14:05 painter stance 🤣👍
That is going to be a high maintenance exterior in the future.
Fantastic.
About the only thing I know about painting in general is how to mask off a section of a car in preparation for paint, but boy I know for a fact that that's one of the most important parts of that job, because if that paint gets ANYWHERE it's not supposed to, you might as well sand the whole body panel off and start over, because blending between different coats of paint is extremely difficult (or so said the guy I used to work with that actually worked with the paint).
As others have said here on this video, paint is 90% prep work, and 10% actually painting.
And if I was going to say it, I'd say that masking is maybe 75% of the prep work, at least in proportion of how important it is that you get it right.
wish this channel would mention ball park costs - would be helpful for those planning - prepping and budgeting for a build of our own
That's given to patreon supporters.
