Here are some examples: I'll get my car fixed next week. You should get your house painted soon.

Here are some more examples:

I am having/getting my house painted next week. (a future plan)

I have had my house painted many times, but the last company I used did a very sloppy job. (present perfect)

I had already had my house painted by Company A when Company B offered to do it for half the price. (past perfect)

I had/got my house painted last week. (a past activity)

You should have/get your house painted. (i.e. You should make arrangements for somebody to paint your house.)

In the sentences above, 'get' sounds more informal than 'have'.

Yeah, and don't forget to capitalize the pronoun "I", and to substitute "you" for "u" ;)
