This video documents the process of building a duplex rental property from start to finish. The builders go through the entire construction process, from laying the foundation and framing the structure to installing mechanical systems, electrical, plumbing and insulation. Next they focus on interior finish work like hanging and finishing drywall, installing flooring, cabinets, fixtures and paint. The builders also discuss designing custom elements like staircases and railings. Throughout the project, the builders troubleshoot issues and modifications to their original plans. The video offers a comprehensive look at all aspects of residential construction and provides insights into building durable yet affordable rental units.

    I was a trim carpenter for many years and I've never seen framing performed with the precision that these men do. I had a crew put up the trusses and sheath my house last year. When sighting down the ridge, it looked like a sin wave. Plum, level and square are only achieved accidentally! Accuracy is a myth around here. The Perkins Builder Brothers frame a home like they are building a cabinet. The most skill craftsmen I've ever seen.

    for as long as you have the passion to make these videos, you will forever have a viewer in me. Absolutely a joy waiting for the videos every few days. Just as a thought if you ever feel tired or frustrated having to do editing, know you do an amazing job and thousands and thousands of us are so excited every week.

    I see you used “all-purpose” flour to start the footings. That’s a rookie move. If you’ll use “self-rising” flour, the house builds it self.

    This makes me so happy!! Almost 3 hours absolutely watching it all!! Arlo’s smile at around 35 minutes leveling that wall just makes you smile 😀 happy retirement Arlo!!
  • @iansinclair7581
    All my best wishes to Arlo. I loved the programme when all the gang were boarding out Arlo’s new house. Arlo’s older house blew me away. I’m in the UK and there was style period called the arts and crafts movement. I don’t know if you have something similar in the US but I thought Arlo’s house was stunning. I think Arlo is a true craftsman and I hope he finds something to occupy his time.

    There are no words that could describe how much I enjoy these guys build. Informative..entertaining...and awesome content all the way around. I look foward to every video they upload.
  • @bobcarry4820
    I have been watching your videos for a while. Is Arlo missed yet since he retired. He always seemed to have a good solution. I watched this build video by video and still enjoyed this one. Thank you and hope Arlo enjoys his retirement.
  • @fuhrab
    I LOVE the fact that you release these long-form mash-up/summary videos of your projects. I can't imagine how much time it takes you to do these but it's appreciated.
  • @cosmicking7979
    nothing will ever top the Mountain-Side Getaway Home video, that was an all timer
  • @Orikix
    Happy birthday Arlo🎉 We love you🥰
  • @flyifri
    Thanks and thumbs up to one and all. Well Done.
  • @michaellee8198
    Wow! I made it! The full 2 hours 44 minutes. Didn't think I would but you and your crew are real entertainers as well as top tradesmen, Very Well done.
  • Hello guys, love your show! While rewatching the video Jamie was showing the trim out on the deck and I noticed the down spout mounting straps were installed backwards. Install the strap first with a single screw in the center at all desired locations then install the down spout by wrapping the strap around the spout. It will meet in the center and overlap itself. Install a single screw in the cent of the overlap area. Very clean and professional installation. Hope you like my home owner tip.

  • these long-form complete-project videos are awesome. No wonder they get millions of views! 😜
  • @vandittpatel
    A post-construction detailed inside and outside walkaround on your last day would be amazing to see in your videos. Not sure why you don't do that. At most, it should take 30 minutes.
  • The attention to detail y’all put into y’all’s work is incredible and inspiring! Learning a lot watching y’all’s channel
  • @johnnicholls9023
