Small house exterior painting for less then $ 200

- In this video I paint the whole exterior of the small house for less then 200 dollars.
The paint is from sherwin williams, primer is from home depot. I used a roller and an old fashioned brush.
Problems in construction will happen it's just part of the game. This person already made up for it, this is why I love working with him.
It took 2 gallons of paint to finish the exterior. It took a gallon of white paint to do the trim (have leftovers) and a gallon of primer. Some brushes naps, and rollers all done for less then $200, with good paint.
Make that CASH!👍
Do you build in Franklin NC?
@@lorileo4319 Have not ventured to Franklin, but it is not too far away from me so maybe one day.
I start my first construction job at Ferguson construction August 3rd!!!! My goal is to end up doing what you do thanks man.
Now that is awesome to hear, I hope my channel does influence people like it did you. Being your own boss is a lot of work but it is worth it.
Steve Slade ya how dare he even think about himself and not the company that will replace him in a week after he leaves
@Steve Slade I'm talking about years down the road wtf
@Steve Slade my plan is to learn all the info and work my way up in the company and then after like 10 years leave and be my own boss you need an attitude check stop spreading hate for no reason bud
@Steve Slade , think about this for a minute, where do think the company that hired JK started, do you think that they just started as a general contractor with no knowledge of the construction industry?, probably not, it will probably take JK many years to acquire this knowledge, don't knock on some for choosing a path in life, if we all chose the same path , life would be boring, some people just know what they want early on and some don't.
Came out really nice. Looks like a nice little neighborhood too.
I love that there are no steps into the house! Great job.
I'm trying to think of the retired folks so they dont have to wory about climbing stairs. Little cottages/ranches are cheaper/easier to build as well with no stairs.
@@MigraineCraftsman Exactly!
Very nice and cosy good job
Looks great and cheers to you for doing a good deed for the elderly neighbor
Nice videos like always
You are such a nice person, helping the neighbor! I love how the house looks! I would be so happy to own a home like that! So many people don't appreciate the life they have and what they own.
#100 this man solid gold in his heart!💗💙💗
Gosh I am so sad that extra work happened ...it is awesome to see people who do excellent work...like u. Thank u for the information about the wrong calk and the information on the paint that was good ...both the Lowes one and the Sherwin Williams one
Wow the reveal is amazing!!!
Satin exterior paint ...
When plants are added, a little side walk and a bit of outdoor furniture it will be perfection 🏆
I like you idea, get out of my head lol
House looks terrific.
Excellent video... The norm for you!!!
Awesome content! This video along with the install video convinced me to go with Hardie siding. Thanks for sharing
I have a tiny house like this .(Bought it 20 years ago when downsizing from 2000 sq. feet) Tiny house wern't even known about back then) Just got a quote of $500 bucks for powerwashing . Thinking I should just paint . Heck of a lot cheaper ! You did a great job and are a good human . . . TFS 👍👊💪✌
That’s a nice color. Thank you for sharing!
I work for a heating and air condition company up in NY. I know that it’s not good to leave the ends of the copper lines open it allows moisture and possibly debris to get in there, they usually come with plastic caps on the ends to protect from that.
Thank you, the company is coming out to finish this coming week, well see how they do.
That would have really ticked me off. I did know that primer trick, nice save.
wish you would come back with more content-- love your videos and what you do....
Hi Migraine! The house looks great. The scenery is beautiful too. Take care.
After problems with various different caulks, I almost exclusively use Big Stretch brand caulk. Paintable and doesn’t crack. Worth the extra money.
Thx, some more items to put in my arsenal.
Thank you so much for these videos!!! You are explaining everything so clearly and walking through each phase and that’s exactly what I have been wanting to learn. This house would be the perfect model for me to try and build on my own. Now...back to your videos!!! I just had to take a minute and compliment how well you have done documenting this!!
i'm glad i know how to do my own ac work. save myself time, and hassle of trying to find a competent installer.
@Cari yep, for myself.
Good job brother 👏
You should try Behr paint, the dirt won't stick to the skirt boards, no re-coating needed to cover up the dirt.
I used it before it works well, the house across the street was painted with it.
Hi! Omg your home looks fabulous! It's coming along so well 🤩
Thank you
Always great work.
Very neat and tidy, a beautiful finish. It is a pity that the other trades left such a mess of wires and conduits.
Looks great.
Love your work. Up here in New England the costs are crazy. But you make the dream of home ownership a possibility in your area. (I wish.)
It came out great man!
Thank you Sir
Nice work. Suggestion: you may add a walkway sloped away (cast in-situ or paver) around to give some protection to the walls.
Love it
Very pretty!
We need longer videos 😏. Good job
The house is beautiful. It's really coming together nicely.
I do want to apologize about something. I said your contractors were charging you too much and pointed you to the 20k studio. I'm so embarrassed by that because I find out that those homes really cost about 70k , not 20k. But they don't tell you that in their site.
Keep doing what you are doing man. I have some ideas for you in the next one that I think you'll like once you get into the design phase.
No biggie, hey did you get your windows taken care of? I think you were the one saving for windows right?
@@MigraineCraftsman no that must have been someone else. My plan has a ton of windows but I plan to build my own mostly fixed ones
@@jl9678 Got ya, I'm guessing a lot of picture windows with some that open to let air in, good plan.
Nice area for housing. I note that it is affordable housing too not mcmansions. Nice for first home owners
That is the plan, I try to provide affordable housing, first time home buyers, retired folks and everyone in between who doesnt want a big mortgage payment.
@@MigraineCraftsman God Bless you for what you do. In a lot of areas in America, the little guy gets trashed. Keep going in your "calling". Stay safe.
The color looks good! 😊
Thx :)
Great job, well done! 👍😁
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job.
Thanks for the new episode, the paint looks great! One a side note I notice you've been holding out on us. Looks like you took care of the grading around the house without showing us how it went.
My friend snuck in one day on a Sunday and did it. He got it done for $400, I should have mentioned that in the vid. Also gutterns got put on $620.
You are such a good person. The house cooler is nice. Excited to see th colors inside.
Really wish you would reveal the mastermind behind the camera so we can meet you and put a face with the voice !
Melody I am trying to grow my channel not scare people away :)
At some point I might do some of those videos, but I would rather show you what I am doing then show you my ugly face.
Migraine Craftsman oh my gosh lol 😂 you’re growing your channel with what you do and your awesome knowledge and craftsmanship, so looks don’t matter!! Sides we’ve seen some of you and you don’t look scary or ugly at all !! Can’t wait to see inside the home again ! It’s coming along really nice 👍🏻
Great looking and well designed house. I saw a comment about first time homeowners and how this might be a good first home. But actually this is likely more of a last home. As I‘ve heard you say the lady next door is 80. Widow women are really the demographic for a homes like these. There are no affordable home options for a widowed women who commonly outlive their husbands and are living on their husbands social security of around $1200/mo. Very many apartments rent for more than $1200/ mo. These elderly women need housing that cost no more than $600/ mo to own or rent.
You are right about the last house comment, that market needs a lot of attention just like the first time home buyer. I will be honest it is getting harder and harder to find land to get this done at affordable prices.
This whole thing is reminding me of what happened years ago with housing, I hope we don't repeat history.
Steve Slade I am looking to downsize because I am retired. I will never live in a HOA development again. Also the house will have to be a ranch, my present house is a tri-level. I was going to move back to my home county but the minimum size house you can build is 1000 sf. The surrounding counties allow smaller houses. The surrounding counties are larger, bigger tax base with lots more industries and more in touch with changing needs of their citizens. My home county is in dire need of more housing at all levels of size and price.
You ever spray? I just did a beat up shed last week, sprayed it with a cheap sprayer I bought off Amazon. Overall, I was very happy with the results. I started to brush and roll it. Gave up after 2 hours. Taped it all off in an hour and spent 30 minutes spraying the entire shed. It would have taken me 6-8 hours with the brush/roller.
Not a fan of spraying, I actually like to take my time and paint with a brush, I get to slow down and think about life and enjoy the process. I know that sounds weird but I like painting, it relaxes me so I take my time.
@@MigraineCraftsman Very nice. I am not a fan of painting, so I try to short cut it.
@@mph5896 Understand 100% I feel like that about drywall the least I work on it the better :)
Great job as usual. DAP Alex caulking is good for interior but not great for exterior. I would spend few extra bucks on pricier tubes. Having client calling you a year from now over potential cracks between siding and windows doesn't seem to worth it. Just my 2 cents, sorry.
Please do yourself a huge favor and point the open ends of those copper lineset down, so they're not collecting rainwater. They're supposed to be capped but if it's rained at all you've got water in there, that you really really dont want
New friend here connected to you from DAN GREEN
Any tips on finding/making connections with subcontractors to do work I can't if I'm building my own house?
Chamber of commerce is one place
Your local building supplies stores
Your local building department
Good ole google is another choice
Sometimes you gotta pick up the phone and start calling, I did a lot of that
Real estate agents that worked for longer then 10 years know the local labor too
Thank you for the video. Any particular reason to go with Hardie vs Vinyl? I understand the quality of Hardie is superior, but you would avoid the painting with Vinyl. Either way, end result looks very classy.
Vinyl is ok most of them come painted from factory but I like the look and durability of Hardie. There are also other brands that do a similar product maybe one day I will try them out who knows.
just curious how you get $65/gal paint for $35. in my state the most you’ll get off is 5-20% off with their MVP Program. thanks
They knew better than to use that type caulk on a paintable surface. Shame on them but glad they made up for it!
It's good you do your own work (design, painting, etc) but what if you invested in learning the trades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC)? You could save a lot more if you learn the basics and have your work inspected. I'm like you though, always leave the drywall finishing to people with patience. Also, check out Mr. Cool for DIY pre-charged mini-split. Would have saved you a migraine.
I might have to, at some point, who knows. The diy mini split also has my attention.
Well if you are a contractor, but us regular folks have to pay 3 times more.
Sherwin williams and home depot , lowes have sales sometimes 30% off you just have to catch them.
Hi MC 😊 House looks great I love the color combo..Where do you build homes at?
Nc and Ga
That red Georgia clay..
Yes Sir!
Hey man! Love your work! How can I get ahold of you? I want to build a house similar to the design of your homes.
Nick I am so busy right now I am not looking for contract work. Watch the vids get familiar how this works and you can do it yourself, save some money that way too.
What’s the high voltage wire in the back
One is for the meter and the other is for the hvac unit.
put your downspouts on the side of the house noy the front
What is the exterior paint color? Great job
Sherwin williams paint I'll have to look up the exact color name if that is what you are asking.
@@MigraineCraftsman Yes looking for exact color if you can find out. Great color!
@@GeneChizzesOnYou Exterior color is Essential shade from sherwin williams (hgsw2446)
Interior color is basalt powder also from sherwin williams (hgsw2457)
What state are you these building homes?
Nc and Ga
Looking to build my dream house. Where do you get your house plans? Or can you recommend a good draftsman in Ga (I’m near Macon, in lizella)
I make them with home designer software google "Home designer by chief architect" you can download a free trial and make you own once you learn how it works.
Migraine Craftsman so in Ga we don’t need a engineer or architect seal on plans to build?
Migraine Craftsman would you suggest one version over another? I’m downloading the Home designer Pro 2021 trial
@@quavelinwalton291 It all depends where you live(build) some areas are more strict then others. Usually big cities will have more rules and regulations and costs will be higher.
Best way would be to visit the building department where you want to build and ask how the process works. While there pick up a building permit application to get familiar with it (free)
Migraine Craftsman ok thanks for your help
How much did it cost for everything. The lot and the house total cost please
The house is not done yet, stay tuned till completion and I'll cover that.
Why is there contractor pricing
Are the gutters 5" or 6"? And would you share the costs of the gutters?
6 Inch with 3 downspouts, the price was $620 I should have said that in the vid.
TY@@MigraineCraftsman
What exact color is this?
Exterior color is Essential shade from sherwin williams (hgsw2446)
Interior color is basalt powder also from sherwin williams (hgsw2457)
@@MigraineCraftsman Thank you nice job !!!!
U in Canada?
Are u a general contractor
Yes
Hope you didnt pay the ac contractor
I did make a partial payment so he can get the equipment, he will get the rest when he finishes and it all works.
Less THAN $200
Painted for less THAN, not "then". Speak English amigo...
You’re welcome to leave his channel THAN stay.
Don’t be a jerk Sonny Dey, and really you shouldn’t be one to criticize...
If you're an American, periods or commas almost always go inside the quotation marks.
With all the bad English teachers out of work...how did we get stuck with you?🤨
I expect English proficiency to be as integral to contractor's skill set as my expectation of English professor's skill in building.
Wow, it's a lot of jealous haters here.
