OLD HOUSE RESTORATION VIDEOS- Benjamin Moore Paint for Old Houses

Ben Moore on an old housePainting your house, particularly the exterior, can be a daunting task. It seems pretty easy, until the paint starts peeling off in sheets, or fades after the first year or alligators worse than a reptile farm. Your hours of prep & application turrn into a fruitless exercise & all the $$$ that you spent evaporates.

Ben has it all figured out. You don’t have to go through the heartbreak. Ben will gladly teach you what you need to know before you pick up your brush.

This is not a DIY site, so, if you are hiring a painter, it’s good to know about the materials that they will use. It’s also good to know what the best practices are so that they will be used by your painter. One of their customer service guys diagnosed my failed paint job- after it had failed. Had we chatted prior to the bozo painter painting, I would have known what to be alert for, & saved myself much grief.

Ben has created an abundance of valuable videos. I have curated the ones most pertinent to old houses. Because of the quantity of the videos, I’m going to skip descriptions. The titles pretty much let you know what they’re about. I thought I knew everything about paint, but I have learned plenty from these videos.
