Thanks! When I bought my house the paint looked great within 6 months it was bubbling and peeling. Now I am redoing and my handyman is doing a shit job saying primer will make everything adhere. Ugh, guess this 68 yr. old woman will have to do it herself. I want the job to last and not look like a hack job.

I was given a 1/2 inch scraper at 7 and told to scrape an entire house this this 60x60 feet. Top to bottom, middle of summer, and no shade. I will never forgive my parent for this when they knew it could be done faster with other methods. They put siding on after I was taken away by DCPS.

That sucks

After the scraping, you should sand a bit to feather the edges of the remaining paint. Otherwise, peeling is more likely to occur.

Best video on KZread on prepping for painting.

It seems like the painting industry adopted a pressure wash and spray methodology because it saves time. If you tried to blast off that paint I'm sure some would come off but if you just gave it a glancing blow then paint over it, the customer would never know. In other words scraping is usually necessary and you can't just pressure wash and go. I like to use a 3" "chisel" style putty knife. Paint comes off like skin from a bad sunburn. Then sand the area back and feather with 80, prime then paint 2 coats. You are right, 99% of people would never notice a good job from a half assed job. I'm also a fan of peel bond type primers for the south side of the house, door frames, wood deck rails etc. Good video.

If at all possible, do not wait until your house is peeling to repaint! The amount of time it takes to remove the peeling is labor intensive and costs more and if you are the one painting it, you will hate yourself for letting it go too long.

Thanks guys. 👍🏼 Also it’s good to see an Ann Arbor residential street again.

Bought a house from the 1920s, it had so many layers of old paint there are places where it was 3-4 mm thick. We opted to simply re-side based on the amount of labor that would have gone into painting. We had quotes to paint that were essentially the same as re-siding.

Great video guys! I’m a first time homeowner and a ton of our exterior paint is flaking off the wood in large pieces. There’s also what appears to be thin plaster peeling off with it - I can’t tell if it’s plaster or if the paint was just applied waaaay too thick. Is there another product I should be using before primer + paint? Clearly the last guys did a poor job (the paint isn’t super old) and I don’t want to make the same mistake. Thank. You!

Hi Amanda! Congratulations on getting your first home, how exciting! When it comes to paint, it's not always perfect and paint can be weird and unpredictable. We've seen paint stick well to surfaces we didn't think it could handle and we've seen some paint just fail to bond to other surfaces. When scraping your house for a new paint job the scraping is the most critical part. Using blades to scrape and even sanding the exterior gets that old cruddy paint off and allows the new coat to grab the exterior properly. Which is the goal before the new coat is applied. From what it sounds like, the new coat of paint didn't bond properly. How long ago was the exterior painted?

hi.. thanks for your sharing. i wonder if we can use ‘sand blaster’ for this peeling methods

Try the hand scraper Sandvik. It has a carbide blade and shaves your paint real nice.

I did that to the back wall of my house last Spring/Summer season. The set up was exactly as shown in the video. Same type of tongue and groove boards. What a nightmare. You do have to remove it all, especially the paint from under those lips where the tongue meets the grooves. What a hassle. If you don't remove all the old paint, it keeps popping up, especially, as in my case, it takes you more than a day to scrap it. What happens is that overnight heat or humidity ends up getting underneath the bit you just scraped, and if you left paint behind, that paint will end up lifting and start pealing. I was scrapping for days. Take it all down to plain wood, or you are just wasting time and money. No other way around it. If you "gauge" the wood, get a good wood-filler such, fill in the spots you need to fill in, wait a day, sand it. Be prepared to scrap paint until the day you are ready to paint. Most likely, if you didn't scrape it all, you will still have stuff to scrape as you are painting it. Don't believe me? Try it!

Yeah I think I’m going to just put on vinyl siding considering the amount of bs that has to be done to get the paint ready. I’ve tried scraping and I’ve tried painting over but it seems no matter what like you said if you don’t get every bit off then it just chips off again.

The paint on our new to us old house has very thick paint. The edges of the paint underneath under the recent pain are thick and obvious. The thick areas are bonded well. If I don't remove it, it will be unsightly. I don't want to sand the paint for safety reasons. Can I build up the low areas with something like a putty to even it all out?

Thank you

Going to start scraping Cedar shake siding this week. Wouldn't be bad if it weren't all extension ladder work. Thanks for saying that it's going to take some time. About a thousand sq ft. I have all summer. Using a two in one DB dura clean. Same color over color (wineberry dbAgedBeauty). Did this twenty years ago...fell off the ladder (removed those rocks since then) Thought I'd give it another go and nobody would come out to bid a job this small. The two keys #1 it will take a long time to scrape. #2 accept the fact of long hard work. Peace and thanks

Could you do the job in stages? e.g. scrape, encapsulate, and paint the north side, then repeat for each of the sides or does it all have to be done together? i.e. entire house scraped, encapsulated, and painted at the same time.

what should I do if I already tried to scrape hard enough from different angles but when I apply new paint the old paint decided to go flaky and ruin the paint job? do i just scrape again and just apply new coat of paint

If you wait days and it rains after peeling the paint, would more areas pop up do to weathering. Did a house and a week later after days of rain and extreme heat, there was more peeling than first seen when checked. It's like the edges came up and started peeling again

@toddtribble2251

Yes, if you scrape and it rains before you get to prime those areas the moisture will lift some of the edges and you will have to re-scrape.

What about using a pressure washer? Clean first then use a 0 degree spinning fitting? Seems to be much faster at removing the bulk of the paint before scraping.

Thanks for the video. The subject was easy to understand. :o) Do you have any videos on how to handle (powered) chalking paint? I'm 71 years old and I am going to have to paint my single story house. Where I live has very extreme heat conditions during the summer months ( up to 117F ). The paint that is on the house is over 17 years old and the colors are fading fast. I am going to paint it all just one color (white). I'm tired of humping up a tall ladder to paint the blue trim on the house, I'm too old for that. I am going to use a Graco magnum Pro x17 airless pain sprayer. I need to handle the (powdered ) chalking paint before I paint it. Is there anything that can be run through a pressure washer that would help wash off the chalking? I'm painting my own house because where I live you can't get anyone out to give you an estimate. They are not interested in a single story house that isn't large and cost big $$ to paint it. Like I said, I'm getting to old for this stuff. lol Thanks again for a great video, it was very helpful.

Hi Sidewinder, Glad you liked our video. For a house with chalky paint I would wash it with TSP-PF. You will likely remove a lot but not all of the chalkiness with this process. I would then plan to paint the house with a top grade paint such as Benjamin Moore Regal. This type of paint will help "bite" into and bond to the remaining chalky surface. These top of the line paints will cost more but will also give you years longevity protecting your house. I hope this is helpful. Tribble Painting

I used just a garden hose and so far it looks good. Thanks again for reply. :o)

So I’m a first home buyer and my house has some wood painting chipping. So once I scrape it off it’s only the spots that have paint problems ? Not the whole board ?not sure how the color will match the old paint around those spots

@TribblePaintingCompany

2 жыл бұрын

Color matches are pretty spot on. When it come to scraping, we focus down the spots that are no long bonded to the siding and get those pieces off first. You can certainly strip any paint from your house you want, but if paint is still bonded the layers of protection are still holding. You will see parts scraped and repainted next to the old coats however, unless you wanted to do some sanding or some sort of paint stripping to get that flawless even coat back up on the house.

Ah the dreaded 1920s home-can be very nice looking, but from the era where lead paint was thought to be amazing and this fabulous material called asbestos could prevent your home from catching fire if you just put it everywhere.

If any lead paint is not removed, then the surface will be uneven when painted over, as the new paint will layer over the leftover old lead paint. How does one fix this? By sanding?

never just use the "primer paint" on raw wood! oil base primer for sure. then your latex top coat paint. And probably some sanding just after scraping. with a dust mask 😷 of course. I would have a hard time wearing those rubber gloves though! doesn't it get all hot & sweaty!?

Do I need to prime whole house or just where I scraped?

@gravityfighter4580

just where you take it down to wood. the purpose of primer is to help seal the wood and create better contact between wood and new paint

Don't you ever sand those edges to make it level with the existing paint and boards? My mother and I painted her house 18 years ago and she had me getting rid of the loose paint but sanding all those edges down, so when paint is applied you cannot see all those rough weird edges, if you don't you still wind up with a crappy looking paint job because you can see all the areas that chipped off through the new paint. This is the most laborious and frustrating part of the entire job, but has to be done or anything else you do is just a waste of time and effort.

Thank god there are more informative videos. Scraping a hole house with a blade? Welcome to the era of electricity my man, just use proper tools.
