all about priming what I prime on a house I'm gonna be using peel bond or prime rx is my primary gonna be going around priming blistered areas in troubled areas in this house so you want to see what I Prime on a house how I go about prepping the house stay tuned for this video [Music] all right so here we are with this door Dan um doesn't need a ton of work but I've seen way worse than this but we're gonna sand it with our P neater and get some of these pealing edges and stuff feather it out and stuff first thing we want to do we don't want to mess up the weather strips and the weather strips come out very easily normally except this time you just pop them out with one simple use for your five-in-one tool these guys are in there really tight but yeah you could damage them you don't want to paint the door I can't tell you how many times do it yourselfers don't pull them out paint them even professional painters don't paint the weather strips not a good idea it doesn't look very professional here's some caulking that's kind of coming out so we can get get that last bow we don't want that old coffee and that's kind of messed up right there alright so here we go I'm going to start off with my paint eater so I'm gonna close the door because I don't want a bunch of dust going into his garage I'm gonna be using a respirator always wear a respirator all right we got the dirty part done that's the part I don't like doing is getting all dusty and dirty but I'll tell you like some people are gonna ask me well why am I using the paint eater and then going over with a sander why don't I just use a sander why don't I use a painting er the paint either it had feathers all the paint edges like a sander won't it takes down the edges about three times faster than the sander will so I hit it with the paint either feather out all the peeling paint edges this will take off paint the sander won't and so they kind of both serve two purposes the door jambs looking pretty dang good now I'm compared to what it was I'm gonna it and then I'm gonna spackle the nail heads and then I'm going to put some peel bond on that so I'm gonna take in sponge caulk this thing now and then we're gonna go on to do as a peel bonding on the other side of the house let this coffee and dry and then we'll come back and do some priming on it all right so now I'm getting ready to do some peel bonding I'm gonna be working on these the only thing I got a door jamb back there that needs peel bond on it the rest of the house is in really good sound condition even though it's been 15 years since it's been painted but we've got a lot of blistering you know on these shakes right here so I'm gonna peel bond those I got my peel bond a little trick peel bond dries clear so all that work you go to doing primer you can't even tell where you've gone if you've gone around the house so we actually add white tint or white paint just a little bit of it and then you can see everywhere you've gone when it dries another thing it does everybody that what drives by is gonna be able to see the priming that you did and they're gonna notice all the hard work you did when it comes to the prep work so you want your you want the customers you want your your customer you want prospective customers to see that and I can't tell you how many jobs I've sold just because you're not of prep work we did and the people noticed it driving by so I got my peel bond here added some white paint I just a handful of white paint to it and it's just gonna give it that translucent white look stir it up and then begin doing the priming very simple I you know some people I like to roll it on some people spray it on my entire career I've always just brushed it and I typically use I'm a three inch or a four inch brush I don't have a lot to do today so I'm just using a premier riverdale brush to brush it on and and that's it one of the tricks of this stuff is is putting it on super thick you don't want to put a thin coat of it you just want to actually take it on and that way it'll fill in blistering fill in dry spots if there's if you see anything you need to sand so I do like to keep a sanding sponge with me also you can sand anything that I need to sand one yeah sometimes a blistering has to be sand it smooth it out otherwise you'll still be able to see it after you peel bond it or blit peel bonded it and painted it so just all working right along peel bonding just sanding this stuff and just trying to hit everything that yo is exposed and blistered now and you don't have to be very particular about you how you get it on just get it on you know nice and thick and so to just glue all this stuff back together I'm trying to get underneath the laps to that are causing some of this stuff the water soaking underneath all these things all the shakes and working itself up and and causing it to swell and peel so just lose right along just nothing you know special you know about this it's just doing a good thorough job I've got another sanding sponge I'm using 3m sanding sponge before I was using a sanding sponge that was a fine sanding sponge just makes the sanding process you know I was using a not a 3m eyes using eka silk fine sanding sponge now I'm using a 3m medium sanding sponge which makes the sanding a lot faster which over show you as I get up here do a little bit more sanding it knocks it off it's really easy to sand with the sanding sponge nothing difficult does this extremely dry extremely brittle but it's very important that you knock it down and smooth it out so we got our all of our prep done I just wanted to walk you around the house and show you you know some of the things we prepped and why we prepped it and you're gonna see some white peel bond primer everywhere where I put peel bond primary you're also gonna see nail heads where nail heads penetrated the siding and we talked over the nail heads you can actually put peel bond over the top of the nail heads it does the same effect is um caulking does and so sometimes we'll you know brush peel bond you know on the high stuff versus caulking it but I've got down here we already started going over it you know with paint but so you can't see it but here's some peel bond right here brush to the underneath the lap right here because we started to have some separation and some swelling get some nails heads here walk over here to the corner board here here was a corner board that had a bunch of swelling on it right here so we wanted to seal that up really well with Peel bond on the bottom to really waterproof it cut edges underneath here the bottoms I like to run peel bond up under here to seal that you can see this is swollen because it got wet at some point in time and swelled we want to seal that it's a cut end on on the siding so anywhere there's a cut in you typically want to seal that will walk down here and show you some more stuff down this direction alright so on the backside of the house here this has a big overhang so there's not a lot of damaged siding swelling or but this is yo the exhaust for the heater I like to 100% around there so it looks a little bit nicer peel bond to the top up here in the cut ends right there that was dry we did have a little swelling right there Koff that appear few nail heads up top put some peel bond on top of some of the windows once again a little bit of blistering here sealing the bottom cut ends bottom of the window there this side of the house we'll get around to this side of the house and you'll see where there was a lot of Sun and blister damage and we'll walk you through that so here's the corner right here there's a sprinkler head actually down here that's obviously hitting the siding caught it causing a lot of water damage so we need to get the homeowner to you know adjust this sprinkler head right here so it's not doing that it's all swollen on the bottom a lot of swelling underneath the Lapps so we brushed peel bond underneath all that this whole section you can see the mineral deposits from the sprinklers hitting it all the way up this high right here so that needs to get repaired or you're gonna continue to do damage to the siding you know even though you prime it and paint it so we've got this all on primed with peel bond tops of the window there we always want to do the tops of the windows that are dry tops bottoms cut in I missed the cut in right here we'll go back and hit that you know before on our final priming that we're gonna be doing so this side right here there's a lot of Sun up here we hit some nail heads up top brush them with peel bond and a lot more peel on over here and then there's a door jamb pretty messed up we'll show you what we did on that so here's the door jamb this thing was pretty beat up water sun damage to it we sanded it with first with our paint eater then we sanded it with our echis an orbital 5 inch sander and then I put a coat of peel bond on it let it dry it was dry within about an hour we sand it again and put a second coat of peel bond on it now it's looking a lot better and the rest of the siding this is still this side up hi we had a bunch of priming with peel bond some blistering and the gable ends up high up there once I got up high it didn't look like there was much prep work to do up high but when I got up there you can see it from the ladder when you're there up close just I'm sanding with a sponge I'm hitting things knocking the blistering down and then hitting it with a with the peel bond with a brush and that was all up high on these two we got Gabe lens right here we'll walk you around to the front of house show you the last step that we primed and then and then we're gonna end up showing you painting the house we've got the front of the house here now we did a lot of priming up there spot priming on the shakes and a lot of people are probably gonna ask you know why not just prime the whole house well there's two reasons you're gonna use significantly more primer and you're gonna be priming areas of the house that don't need to be prime so it's gonna be significantly lower primer and significantly more work I did tops of some of the trim boards right here because the tops of them are pretty dry we do some got some corner boards that needed to be primed with peel bond the shakes all the tops of the core boards would I got on top of those when I looked at them from a ladder you can see they were all bare wood and dried so I brushed some peel on the top of those and so this is got the whole house the tops of the doors the garage doors they kind of got this flat area that's not ideal snow sits on top of them rain sits on top of them hit that with pee Obon so there's a look at on what it looks like the whole priming process and the prepping process and it took me probably about you know myself four hours to do all of that work and once again you know the house itself has been painted before the paint is in still sound condition there was some isolated areas that need primer and need attention but you don't need to prime the whole house it's already got a coat of paint on it now if there was just exposed wood everywhere blistering everywhere in the entire house then we would contemplate whether we would reprime you know our prime the whole entire house but once again these shakes up there it's a lot quicker just the hand brush those gables up there and there when you get up there you can see the separation and the blistering and spraying it on is not good enough you really need to get a brush and really push it in and penetrate and seal that up with your primer alright we're just about done doing all the prep work of this house it's been fun it's been exciting hopefully if you learn something so I've done um peel bond I've done caulking I've showed you sponge caulking sanding and peel bonding you know the shakes on this if you have any questions and comments if I haven't gone over anything when it comes to doing the exterior of a house that you need to know just leave it down with questions the comments below I would love to hear your questions or not actually hear them but read them and see what you have to say if you got any tips or tricks that I didn't share here cuz you're a painter yourself what are you gonna do it yourself or that
