![]() ![]() Two coats is what is recommended for a good paint job and often required for warranty work. ![]() A good quality paint however lays down well as it dries. This helps it make sure to get into cracks and crevices like it should and not form a bubble ect.) On the second coat I may just spray for a more even finish. (back brush or back rolling is just like it sounds brushing or rolling after you have sprayed. While painting I spray and back brush the first coat. I figure the next day I will finish most of the painting as in all the sides ect. Then paint siding as well on this first day of 'painting'. This takes some time letting them dry then flipping them over ect. I take off the doors so I can spray them separately (some people want different door colors.) I spray the down spouting on sawhorses on all sides. Then all the masking and prep in the morning. I will let that dry and then the next day. (masking for the next day I don't want it blowing all over ect) Like Sherwin-Williams 950 A. I will take down spouting and what other prep work I can do that day. (depending on weather could take longer or shorter) So I figure a half day or so to pressure wash (just myself doing it) Let it dry until the next day. To buy one like mine would be around $1800. To rent one for a day like mine would run $70-$100 per day. It makes the job go by much quicker I can use a larger tip ect. On pressure washing I would not use anything smaller that a 2400 psi pressure washer (you still have to be careful to not damage anything) I currently have a 3500 psi 4.8 gal per min professional belt drive pressure washer. Then pressure washing their home I am going to charge $150 (cheep price)Ĭonsidering what it would be to buy or rent one and then cemicals to use as well. Well that is not figuring in trim color ect a gal or two for their home. My suggestion will be for them to go with the Resilience. This home has been well taken care of and the paint is still in 'good shape'. Resilience $600.47 (my suggestion for this home) So you start running the numbers on that: Resilience (lifetime paint) 46.19 per gallon (Covers 35-400 sq ft per gallon) (resilience is for a home that has decent paint on it not pealing and is just ready for a new paint job before it is necessarily or gets bad.)ĭuration (lifetime paint) 61.22 per gallon (Covers about 250 sq ft per gallon) (Duration has basically like a primer in the paint 2 coats covers even rough previous paint job where their is bear wood ect after prep) Supper-Paint (25 year paint) 41.22 per gallon (Covers 400-450 sq ft per gallon) ![]() (these are my prices from having an account with them for years) I am not saying it is the best thing out their but it is a very good paint.Ī few options for them on their paint quality. So roughly there is about 4,500 sq ft of printable area. This is all just off the top of my head I haven't sat down and figured it all up yet. I am going to have a high-school to help me on this project. The front of their house is brick on the lower half the rest of the home has 'plywood' siding. They have a 18" soffit around the entire house. The side's of their home are the gable ends of the home. Outside dimensions are roughly 52' by 26'. I have done professional painting as an occupation in the past. I just went yesterday to look at a house I am bidding on. The estimator informed me that one painter first sprays the surface, then a trailing painter immediately comes along to roll out what the sprayer misses.ĭoes this estimate seem reasonable based on the above criteria? Recently, we received an estimate from a reputable, "A-rated" Angie's List roofing company here in Indianapolis to power wash ($350 fixed cost), scrape, mask, fill all holes with either M-1 or mortar caulk as needed, prime and finish paint, all for the low, low price of just $7,700 (Ha! Ha!). The whitewashed effect on the original house has deteriorated to the point that most of the paint has either fallen off the mortar or is hanging there in hard, crusty little flakes (these will take a pressure washer with about 3.000 psi to remove, I imagine). We are employing a two-color scheme: a neutral tone for the house and a darker, contrasting tone for the fascia and trim. The painters will also be spray- painting newly-installed HardieShingle siding and fascia boards on four gables-sides of the house and front/back of the garage. We have a one-level whitewashed brick ranch that is about 2,500 square feet under roof that includes an attached garage and a 12'x52' brick addition in the back (unpainted red brick). ![]()
