THE HORRIBLE PAINT JOB I PAID FOR !

[rickysaldana]

did you ask for a quote to replace all the hardi and fix the trim work on your house? or just a quote to spray the house and paint it? if you asked him just to paint hes just gonna paint

[piezoman]

I’ve never expected a painter to repair all my woodwork unless it was spelled out in a contract and the requirements of such were clear. Replacing siding and trim? No way, that should be taken care of before I even talk to a painter.
But that’s just me…

About 10 years ago I asked my lawn guy if he knew any good painters, he gave me the number to his preacher, he came over, replaced some wood and painted my deck. We hired him 6 months later to paint a bedroom. Now I’ve used him for my customers when they need interior work. I’ve given him over 150 jobs. Gotta find a guy and stick with him for good work

I can see where your coming from. I been painting here in cali for 22 yrs served a 3 yr apprentice . 54 yrs old and only worked for 3 contractors . i have painted a lot of residential and commercial. And i agree not the best job but not the worst. Prep prep prep. Is number 1. Communication 2, dont hire friends and family. 3. Find someone who loves what they do. They do better work. Dont hire a mechanic to install trim. A carpenter should have replaced what was needed then have a painter do his thing.

I always cut a 22.5 degrees cut end angle facing down to join trims pieces together to make seemless it also make seal better against rain

Thank you for putting the effort into making blogs.
I really appreciate what you are doing.

I feel your pain and irritation here. Currently have ppl working in my home and I’m not happy at all, they are taking forever, they don’t communicate, and now not answering my calls- I’m so over it all.

Its ALWAYS the guy with the exotic car in the driveway who’s going to whine about everything. But he wants the cheapest price.

When I quote to do walls and texture, i always make sure the customer knows what the result will be.
It takes much more time to get better results and if they are not willing to pay more money, then they get the sub par work.
With proper drywall and texture, especiallt matching/repairs, the more time spent yields a better finished product.

I love your videos. By the way, you need an alignment on your truck, the outer portion of the tire is bald, you might even have some suspension/steering parts that need to be replaced

Hi Bob, my experience with paint like that is caused by moisture coming through the wall. I would bet that where those spots are outside, inside could be a hole from a finishing nail holding up a picture inside. There are holes in the vapour barrier inside

My father was a house painter and I worked with him during high school and college so summers and holidays over the course of 7 years. I am far from an expert but I have a lot of experience and can tell you your guy did a crap job. It looks like he didn't prime the boards and if little bits are pealing now, they will ALL be pealing in a year or two- Although it is possible that they were primed but had dirt/residue on them prior to painting OR he used really poor quality paint. Possibly all three. The lippage on your chimney would have been an easy fix before he painted- five minutes to shave it down flush. The molding around your windows where there was rot should not have been filled with caulk- he should have either been replaced with new molding OR if it wasn't terrible (looks like it wasn't) then he should have removed the rotted parts and filled it in with Bondo and then sanded it down. Easy, cheap, permanent fix that looks good as new with very little work. The overspray on your windows happens in all paint jobs BUT the last thing you do on a house when you finish painting is clean up and part of the clean up is cleaning all the windows and removing all the overspray. The paint on your hoses- he should have been using his own hose. The dumping paint out on your grass- he should have dumped it in an inconspicuous area in pine straw or something. He is not a good painter. At all. I can also guarantee that he made mistakes that you have not noticed- look for overspray on your roof shingles and around your chimney. Check and make sure that all your windows will open as a poor painter will paint them shut and won't paint under the sill.

That’s why I refuse to hire workers and do most of the work myself. It’s the finishing work that most people lack. It’s just hard these days to find good workers

DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE Addressed the Garage Ceiling with Kilz and Painted the whole Thing!

I am in the process of painting my 1942 Cottage. It has lead paint according to the test plug. I am using a Speed Heater and scraping down to bare wood. The wood is old growth tongue and groove and despite the termite damage it's in good shape. My point is, painting is all about prep work and that prep work can be very challenging. No one cares about your home or your money the way that you do. If you find a good painter, figure our a way to adopt him. (g)

the boards that are peeling need stripping with heat gun possibly to much moisture in the timber or trapped behind the paint as a decorator thats what i would have done if i was being paid the market price for holes cracks etc he should have used linseed putty one thats compatible with water based paints or 2 park filler or the up market resin based fillers. but to be fair thats a lot to take on for one person so wonder theres lots of snagging to do

[dalegribble]

It’s a bald tire and your worried about a nail 😂😂

[JD-opnk]

Been a painter my whole life. Cars boats homes residential commercial and also now powder coating. Just because someone can pick up the tools of a trade and use them doesn’t make them a master of that trade. Don’t hire a truck driver to fly your plane. Painting is a trade with many many aspects that most people do not know or understand. Painting is perceived as something anyone can do and that is so untrue.

This guy might as well have said "I hired a mechanic to fix the AC in my car, and my tooth still hurts". The house is painted. That's what painters do - they paint. They don't replace siding and trims. It was nice of the painter to replace anything at all. Hire a builder to replace your siding and trims.

This is one area that I am actually able to comment on Mr. StarrTile....
That Lipage/Trimwork/Hardy-Paint is absolutely unacceptable and there is to many people that get away with jobs like this...
I cant comprehend how you Install Brand New Trim/Hardy/Anything and Have Lipage/Paint Peeling/Etc!...
The Hardy should have been painted In a Garage or shope at a certain Temperature (Normally 50-70 Farenheight).. The Hardy should have been Primed.. Allowed time to dry, Then finished...Then Installed after proper curing
He should have his own Hose. All of those issues! I have to say that 90% of so called "Painters" out there do not have q clue...
Your Holes should have been Filled with a Bondo/Cement Material...
I can keep going... But, I think you understand... I watch your videos for Tile instructions and I thank you for everything... The things you are pointing out are absolutely within reason...
And Overstreet is absolutely Unacceptable!! WOW!!
