    Follow these steps for exterior paint removal and preparation:
    1. Pressure wash the exterior to remove dirt, mold and pollutants. During this process you will also remove loose paint.
    2. Scrape and pound in loose nails. We prefer a replaceable carbide blade with a handle for pounding loose nails.
    3. Sand the surface to remove dead wood and feather out old paint.
    4. Blow off the surface to remove dust.
    5. Caulk expansion joints, making sure to wait the required dry time before priming.
    6. Mask the windows, lights, etc.
    7. Prime where needed. In our case we used peel bond primer.
    8. Top coat. In our case we used Duration.

    • @Mike-qo4kp

      He is using a disk made for metal grinding. Comparable sand paper grit roughly 40-60 grit. If you sand wood siding with higher you will remove the wood grain.

    Really nice job. However, I've used Duration by Sherwin Williams and I find it fades badly in the sun and simply can't handle salt air. I've since switched to using either Old Village or Behr Ultra and have had vastly superior results here in New England on the coast where paint takes a beating year round. I can only imagine it would last that much longer in less harsh conditions. I don't typically like to rag on a product but after many fails by duration I rate it as junk paint at best.

    Thank you for this video. I recently moved to CO from MN and purchased a home with wood siding that was badly weathered and needed painting and repair. The company did a terrible job and is trying to tell me it's as good as it gets. It's unacceptable and not an outcome they shared at onset. I wanted to see if better was possible and you helped me to see it was. If I was still in MN I would be a customer. Thanks!

    Was looking for deck restoration/ strip down tips and found one in that SW primer. Other comments mention how people don't want to pay for top notch work... NOT the case HERE ! I can not find anyone who wants to do anything labor intensive, be it the bums who cut my lawn that won't get off the machine to move a dog toy and will shred it or cut around ! OR a painter who claims a pressure wash and scrape is all I need and charge $1200 for a ground level 12 x 28 ' with no rails, just a 28' bench with no back, ONE coat sprayed ! No twisted or rotted boards, no complications just drunks or recovering addicts that want to spray easy condo's and newer construction. I'm a 58 yr old disabled and retired firefighter/ medic who worked construction since age 14 and 80+ hrs a week for 25 yrs and know nothing BUT physical labor and will pay extra for a skilled contractor who cares about his workmanship...GOOD LUCK FINDING ANYONE here in the working class areas of Ct. ! Don't know wtf happened but it's sad
    Any suggestions for stripping peeling latex other than breaking my already ruined back/ hips with a belt or disk sander ?

    A good painter knows the preparation is the key to a good paint job. Good video. There was no rusted nail heads in your demonstration but had that been covered in the siding preparation the customer should be told that there is no paint product that can stop rust. Take off the rusted nail head with the drill bit from Nail Head Gone and replace with a stainless nail or screw if necessary.

    Nice job guys, very useful.
    As I need to prepare for painting a house just like this one, I am wondering what would be the result if I use ONLY a pressure washing (without sand mixed, just water) instead?
    The sanding by hand works great but it's a hard work for large areas to cover. Pressure washing must have be way more efficient method. Just wondering what the surface would be like, after the boards are dried out. Would it be ready for painting straight away or still need to scrap/sand or do something else?
