Paint Your Home in One particular Day
I perform with a contractor who specializes in painting houses. We have effectively painted houses in 1 day all summertime long. You can do it to, if you have the suitable resources and system down. Here are the methods we take:
one. Electrical power wash the property
2. Shift road blocks
3. Calk
4. Tape
5. Paint the home
6. Paint the trim
Tools we use:
one. Cordless drill
2. Hammers
3. Paint spray gun
4. Paint brushes
5. Rollers
six. Plastic
7. Ladder
8. Power washer
9. Scraper
Now right here is what takes place when we arrive.
1. We stroll close to the house taking away obstacles in our way.
2. I fireplace up the electrical power washer and begin washing the residence and when the paint chips my companion starts scraping.
three. Following I finish washing, I start off scraping although my spouse begins taping.
4. While I am scraping, I hammer in all nails or screw in screws that have broken unfastened. My spouse tapes all windows, door handles, water spigots and anything at all else we will not want paint on.
5. Following I finish scraping the property, I begin chalking the cracks (specifically close to the windows) residence whilst my companion will get the spray gun all set to go.
six. Following I have completed chalking I pick up the paint brush and get prepared to brush in the paint. My companion starts painting the dry facet of the residence and I follow him. When he has concluded spraying one side of the residence, he functions again in the direction of me till I have caught up.
7. We carry on action six till the total residence is painted. As soon as that is concluded we start off painting the trim.
8. We often consider a walk close to and touch up spots we have missed or dripped on. When we have finished painting I clear the brushes although he cleans the sprayer and removes the tape and plastic around the windows and other spots we employed individuals spots that necessary the tape.
9. Whomever finishes up very first, begins loading the truck with all our supplies and we take one particular more walk about to double check out our operate.
How many man hrs does it get us? Bear in mind it can be only two people painting and we start functioning around seven am in the early morning prior to the temperatures achieve one hundred degrees. We normally end painting all around five or 6 pm in the afternoon/evening. We by no means take a lunch bust but eat as we go. Consequently whole time on task is 10 to 11 several hours. With two individuals that is a total of twenty-22 gentleman hrs.
I wager the next time you paint a 1 tale home if you track your efforts you will see that it generally normally requires among twenty to thirty hrs of function. We have painted many more substantial residences and these houses usually just take us a good deal much more time. The final large 2 tale residence we painted tookmore than 100 man hrs and that was a pretty excellent speed we worked.
