Steps Painting Your House. Prime RIGHT, Painting A House

What happens here

The presenter shows the front of the house, including the garage door trims. He highlights that these areas had sun and water damage, requiring sanding with the Paint Eater and orbital sander, followed by two coats of Peel Bond primer. He explains that isolated spot priming is more efficient than priming the entire house, especially if the existing paint is in good condition, saving time and material. He concludes by inviting viewers to leave comments/questions and subscribe to the channel for part 3 (painting).

Goal: Summarize the full prep work and provide reasons for specific techniques.

Tools and materials

  • Extension Ladder
  • Peel Bond Primer — Priming damaged areas

What they say

Hide

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…
