I knew it was you before I saw you. What’s happened to the evo content 😢
❤❤❤😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
These videos are great for home owners learning how to take care of their own homes. Almost every video this guy does is something that the vast majority of home owners should be doing on their own as part of being a home owner.
I use old vertical blind slats cut to 3-4 feet and push it under the baseboard, shielding the carpet, moving it along as I paint.
THANK YOU! That just saved me using up my masking tape for the carpet side and saved me on buying a 10"~ drywall knife! I have old ass blinds that will do the trick!
That tape is easily $9 a roll
He ain't even holding his brush right, that's a $5 paint bush, who rolls 6:56 their baseboards ?
My absolute favorite channel for the most compact, practical information! You never disappoint! Just finished the A/C unit repair/cleaning from your prior video (along with the grounding tip from the comments!😵) saved major $$$ from needing a service call! And in the current heat wave-it’s working GREAT!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THESE VIDEOS!!!
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! Please email me when you have the Chance please 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Awesome
Every professional painter and the DIY'ers like me have their own means and methods. This video is done very well and gives everyone some good ideas. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Out of all the videos I have seen so far on painting trim boards this by fair has been the best simple step by step video and so simple for me. I had to watch this video a few times due to my short term memory loss. So coming from someone like me that’s a big kuddos !!! God bless
Masking works well if you are lucky to have a gap at the bottom of the skirting board though here in the UK our skirting boards don't usually have a gap. Also I'd suggest also putting a tarpaulin or cover over the main carpet to avoid any paint drips from the paint can, etc.
Yes, I live in the UK too and don't know if thats the same with me because my carpet is quite thick but now I realise I probably don't have a gap, such an American thing, everything they have just bloody works.
In our houses in uk dont have any gap between skirting and floor, if you can tuck your carpet under the skirting there must be something wrong
You dont need to put masking tape on the wall to paint the skirting boards etc and you dont need to be a professional to cut in your paint so to avoid masking tape.
Same with Australia
Preparation and patience are key. We all need to be reminded of these factors from time to time. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and learnt a good tip to use a putty knife for the carpet and the tape. Thank you.
I guess everyone has a take on doing this, however as a DIY beginner these tips are invaluable. Thank you
I'm getting ready to paint my living room and this is so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! I wish you well on your project! 🙏🏽😊
That wide brown packing paper (for me) is the best method to cover the carpeting and a great idea.....I'm a clumsy painter, lol. The blue tape is too skinny for me and I'd get it all over the carpet.
Thanks for posting and sharing my friend. 👍👍
I'm a retired painting contractor of 36 years. The tapering method is by far the fastest and most efficient method. You don't need to use a drywall knife , just use your fingers to push it down and under the base.
Actually, tile and wood flooring is the best option..carpet is way old school in Florida...
@@thedbcooperforum We LOVE our carpeted floors upstairs. Not everybody wants to spend all their lives walking on cold, hard stone.
@@wolemai snowbirds are not in my equation, lol ever heard of house slippers..
@@thedbcooperforumnot everyone lives in Florida,some of us in fact most of us live in colder climes where carpet is the best option ,btw hard floors still get paint on them if you don’t mask
@@Royboy50 my comment explained I live in Florida, my comment never claimed to not need tape..I did say snowbirds excluded and slippers are available everywhere...
Could not be happier. I am about to start painting. Thank you so much.😊❤ . You are the best.
Thank you so much for the love and support! Really means a lot! I wish you the best on your project! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
I just use a thin piece of cardboard, about 2ft long and push it underneath the baseboard. Dont paint to the ends of the cardboard, leave about 5 inches on each end clean and gently pull it in the direction you're painting,keeping it under the base. Usually a couple pieces will do an average room.
Likewise, simple, effective cheap.
I use modified Vinyl siding , just cut the edges off to turn it into a 2.5 inch flat strip . Slides under the baseboard with no issues and its reusable.
@@manchesterexplorer8519 I have always used a piece of metal soffit capping,,
I do the same for any trim...
This tutorial is fantastic! Your method for protecting the carpet and achieving super clean lines on the baseboards is brilliant. The detailed step-by-step process and the practical tips, like using painter's tape and a putty knife, are incredibly helpful. Thanks for making a potentially tricky job so much easier and more manageable
Great information for an inexperienced DIYourselfer. Thank you so much. I like using the blue paint along with a straight edge.
Solid video, man. You touched on every point. Every question I had. Boom! Answered. Like a boss.
This is an AWESOME video! They show several methods and the instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you for the help and not wasting your time and our time.
Good idea and saves such a lot of worry and time especially if you have a carpet fitted will certainly be trying this 👍. Paul Uk
Awesome ideas to help those that always wonder how not to mess up their little paint projects. Once they are done they realized it's like "what is this mess"! 😢
Than you for the feedback! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
@@FixThisHouseThe fact that you need to use tape at all tells me you are not a qualified painter, learn how to ‘cut an edge’, it’s much faster and cheaper.
I am so using this when I paint one of my bedrooms next month. Thanks G.
Glad to help bro! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
another video that is helpful with painting baseboards..you are helpful person to show your videos
Thank you so much Brett! 🙏🏽😊
That is very clever! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
This tape method is genius 👏🏻
Thank you 🙏🏽
Exactly correct, then 12" paper and tarps. I watched to see where this would go, great job!
Thank you so much William! 🙏🏽😊
This was extraordinarily helpful. Thank you!!
GREAT ideas with th tape and paper method. Never thought of the paper idea. Definitely trying that the next time. Thanks!
Thank you! I’m glad I could be of help! 👍🏽🙏🏽😊
Thank you for the great video! 😍 I've watched your content before, and as always, your videos are fantastic. 👍
Nice. Thx. The paper method deserves a try.
Hi great ideas if you have a gap under your baseboard, we in the UK call this skirting board, which is placed on top of the floorboard, so tucking under would not work. Regards welshman2081
And having that gap often results in the edge of the carpet becoming dirty as dust can blow in draughty circumstances.
Great tips which are very well explained. I just found you so I will be checking out more of your content. Thank you
On past jobs I’ve take a roll of plastic, and cut it to about 6” wide. Then unroll it and using a plastic drywall blade/scraper I just tuck it under the baseboard and then get to painting. After it’s dry, just pull the plastic and roll it back up
We have mostly hardwoods, but the challenges are the same. I'm going to check out your channel and see if you have addressed white interior doors. Very good video! I'd probably use the brown paper because we have a huge roll of it. Tape on the top.
Thanks. I usually do the first method that you showed. 👍🏻🖌
Thank you Ron! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
This is a great idea we’re going do to this today. Thanks!
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks a lot, a great and a professional job you did.

Very instructive video ❤
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
In stead of tape, paper or other stuff, take your painter's tarp and tuck it under the base board. That way, it'll be there when you do the wall too...or vice versa. Also, paint wall, then install base board.
Very helpful thank you!
Thanks for the tips pare! 🎉
I’m glad to help pare ko! 🙏🏽😊
Wow ….I would have never thought of that 👍
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
I use a 36x6 strip of laminate with 2in. masking tape along the edge. The laminate is thin enough to slide along as you work. Replacing the tape after finishing a complete length of baseboard.
Excellent! Thank you
Nice job. Great tips!
This is good. You are the man.
GREAT TIPS THANK YOU
Excellent Video!
Thank you bro, all methods can work, I really appreciated your video, Sir. Thanks, Wade Out..
Thank you Antonio! Means a lot!
Brilliant idea.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Good video. This guy definitely knows what he is doing. Same technique I used myself for years as a painter.
This is great stuff. I would be using the tape method.
If you want a smooth finish it helps to apply the product with a roller and back-brush with a brush. Rollers can cover the surface quickly and the brush gets rid of the roller-stipple.
Agree, tight sponge paint gloss roller
if you get a decent semi-gloss with enamel in the paint you can skip the back brush altogether as the enamel is heavier paint which has a small paint "sag" so when you put it on with a small roller it "sags" the stipple to a nice finish without any brush strokes or stipple marks, might have to do 2 coats but it looks like it was spray finished.
@@MV-wb2cz▪︎ forgive me if this ought to be obvious but painting heavily enough for the paint to sag doesn't seem like a proper solution. Esp if the paint sags too much and pools at the bottom of the baseboard and onto the carpet or into the carpet "hairs."
@@bethanyanderson1745 forgive me but i did not say to paint a heavy coat, it's the way the paint is formulated, if you have a paint with enamel in it vs regular paint, it's a heavier paint and you don't need to back roller it
WELL DONE!!!
Great Video I think I’ll go with the Taping method….thank you kind sir 😊
Thank you for watching! I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you !!
great video thanks for sharing
Very helpful, thank you 😄😄👍👍
Excellent !!
Very impressed
Absolute genius 😂😂
This is all well and good if you have a gap, base board or skirting as it know in New Zealand which is usually fixed before the floor coverings go down last to prospect it from workers all over it, so painting after does require some additional skill by the painter or home handy man not to get paint the caret edge
Painting is all about the preparation ;-)
I use roofing tar paper. Always some left over, very stiff, works great, zero cost.
That’s a great idea! Thank you for sharing! 👍🏽🙏🏽😊
Cool thanks Mr diy 👍
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks for this
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
great vid, thanks!
Thanks!
Good tip. Thanks
Thank you! I’m glad to help! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Fantastic! Thanks! 🎸😃
Well done thank you
Good video I never thought of these ways.I would of been armature and got A tiny bit of paint on the carpet.
Excellent Thank You!!!!!
Nice trick of the trade.
I prefer the tape as to the paint shield. The tape is a lot more labor but the results are almost fool proof is done right.
Thank you for the feedback! Tape is definitely full-proof 👍🏽🙏🏽😊
Thank you so much ❤
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Excellent
Awesome thank you I think I'll be doing the third method more easier
Thank you! I’m glad I could be of help! 😊🙏🏽
I've recently learned you can use Floetrol to help with the brush marks.
Thank you for the advice 🙏🏽😊
you can use a trowel or those straight metal things they have at paint shops
Thank-you!
Thank you.
