What grit is the sand paper you’re using?
@@bostonterrier3915 Agreed. With all this inflation, this paint has sadly become anything but affordable.
I've liked and subscribed, you make painting a hallway look so easy. Please keep providing informative and helpful videos. Peace from Ireland.
I'm a retired painting contractor with 50 years experience. You without a doubt give the best painting tips on RUclips. Haven't seen one yet that I disagree with ...... although I might have put tape over the top of the baseboard to avoid those pesky little dots coming off the roller when the wall is a darker color. ;-)
Came here to say much of the same. One more tip, when you have a brand new roller cover you can wrap it in a layer of tape and then pull it off to get loose fibers off before first use.
Why didn't he wipe the walls down after sanding?
50 years. Thank you for your service. Although, being a painter means that you do get thanked fairly regularly 😀
If you use decent paint and a decent sleeve you won't get spits. Shouldn't need tape on the baseboard.
@@ToddHarris Came to the comments to ask the same question
I know this is two years old, but this video saved my life with one sentence: "None of this W rubbish" . I was getting so anxious about starting to paint my house myself because everyone i spoke to said I need to paint in a W or M!! ❤❤❤
I’m actually a 13 year old who is planning to start a painting business in a few years! Your videos are very helpful considering I’m trying to learn the basics now before I take an education on it or get more advanced. Thank you 🙏
awesome!
You might look into doing pest control. It's way easier and u can make in 2hrs what you do painting all day.
I heard cleaning drainage pipes pay good too, you make double with less time.....😂
@@seapeoplesdidnothingwrong1307 Not at all a good idea. The toxic fumes you breathe in are not worth sacrificing your health. Cancers and all kinds of breathing issues. Not good!
Ok but for now just play with ur Nintendo Switch
THANK YOU.
I decided to repaint my entire (new/first) house recently. I’d never even painted a single wall before and I’m 39.
I’m about 1/4 of the way done with my massive project.
Wanted to make sure ya knew just how damn helpful (all of) your videos are.
Thanks!!
How happy are you as you progress through it... it's like a new house again hey!!! I did mine back in Jan.
Same thing! Since starting to watch, all my projects turn out so well! It's helped me outgrow the shitty results stage.
I'm not even painting anything and watched this whole video. So relaxing and informative
😂😂😂
Me too
This is why I’m here 😂
Me too
This holds for many RUclips how-to videos. There's something very relaxing about watching OTHER people work.
I admire people who take their time to help others.
I watched this video 10 times before painting my room. My wife LOVED the job I did. Thanks so much.
Notes!
Remove cover plates
Dust and sand wall
Open and mix paint
Angle brush to quarter inch away from edges until loaded with paint (let it fan out)
Gradually sneak up on edge to cut
Paint all edges, including under cover plates (about 4”)
Wash angle brush immediately
Pour paint into liner and load up roller brush
Start very gently, go over uneven areas, stretch out paint
Cling to wet edge, keep lead edge wet, no breaks!
Pull out lint and back-roll, consistent texture
Never change direction (always vertical!) short rolls when necessary
Give at least an hour
Sand the wall again
Load up angle brush, and wipe post of paint off, use less this time
Precision cut all edges on wall
Roller the wall for second coat (don’t move on to other wall), lighter layer
Clean paint out of roller sleeve (throw away roller sleeve?)
Don’t hang anything on wall for 48 hours or so, and wait 30 days before washing
Lmao you can hang stuff after 48 hours
Should I wipe wall after sanding to get dust off?
@@kimmayer9007 Yes
Last tip is incorrect. Don't *wash* the wall for 30 days. You can hang fixtures after 48 hours.
@@gcarsk Thanks! I think you're right. Corrected!
Have a bucket with warm water and rag nearby to instantly wipe any small error. After sanding, run your dry hand across the wall, if there is dust from sanding wipe the walls clean. Use a mildly sticky roller on your paint roller to remove loose fibers before using it to paint @ 15:49 he removes some fibers from the wall. Before you start cutting in with the brush, load up your roller and leave it in the paint tray (not in the paint area) and place the tray in a 13-gallon garbage bag (so it doesn't start to dry out), this preps the roller & gives time for the paint to soak in.
I showed up to work one night. Super dead. I was offered some cans of paint and 8 hours to paint some walls. I showed up the next day to being thanked and praised for my work. I have been holding onto that warm feeling and I can’t deny I loved every second of painting. I’m currently learning the basics and helping my family members paint their homes. My mother in law is in real estate and we already discussed when I’m ready we will go into business together. All it takes is one night to give you a dream.
That’s awesome, a great entry into the business. I would definitely start taking customers and do interior work, especially seeing as you have someone who can get you clients.
Thanks to you, I have just about completed my first bedroom. I'm 70 never used a paint roller or sanded walls. We have a 120 yo home. The ceiling has not been touched by us , 35 year owners. Due to health problems, I got a painter in to do this. I used a sealer on the woodwork and it looks awesome. No paint on the carpet either! So this year, I've conquered the roller, sprayer, and caulking. Thanks to you. I'm so pleased I could be bothered to try. I've also sanded french doors stained and varnished, reglazed them and hung them back up again with new hardware Inc hinges. I'm on a roll!
Well done. 👏👏👏
So encouraging to hear! I’m also 70 and undertaking some major home projects on an older home.
I started watching this video while standing on a ladder taping my ceiling 😂😂😂😂
Lmfao 😂😂 the audacity 😮😂
Similar here.

I've painted my whole house like a pro and it's all thanks to you. You taught me everything worth knowing when it comes to painting like a pro. When people ask how I knew what I was doing, I say uncle Jeff taught me! 😅
Glad to help Rob. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY help I just bought paint started painting the outside of my house. When it dried stains started to appear like water spots and lines.🤔
@@justkeepfishingt Did u fix it?
@@charlesahweyevu nop I painted again still see a couple of stains 🤷♀️
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY HI! Great video! Do I sand wall even if it's not smooth. My wall has bumped throughout the whole wall. Thank you!
I've painted more rooms than I can remember in my 68 years... and that's the first time I've seen what the curve on the 5:1 tool is for! 🤣 Finally I can get some of that paint back out of the rollers!
Friendly tip! My Favorite tools are 5 in 1, Duster, 6'' whizz, Tray arm, and the Richard gooseneck paint brush. Cheers! The gooseneck guy! Cheers!👍
I love the fact that you expressed your hate for tape right away. Most people dont even know how tape works anyway and they let it bleed through. Great Video bossman.
How do u use it properly? How can u keep it from bleeding through?
@@AKshootingARsdampen the tape with a damp cloth before you paint.
I want to paint a bedroom for first time and I watched painting for beginners and it amazed me on different things that painters that painted my house did not do the things I watched you do. Now I need to get started.
I am a 15 year professional painter.
I completely endorse this video.
Great advice.
But the truth is most homeowners just don't have the patience to do this.
Some do. I've seen fantastic homeowner paint work and absolute disaster.
I'd say the wet edge that you mentioned is one of the most important details you addressed.
Rolling somewhat "quickly" helps the wet edge so it all drys uniformly.
Another pro tip is try to finish each roll stroke from top to bottom so all the stipple matches.
Also the lower the sheen the better the hide on imperfections or any high or low spots on the sheetrock seems.
Love your videos.
Well done
That is what I was thinking too. I'm a contractor and we don't usually sub out out interior painting. I don't know that I would suggest these techniques to DIY homeowners - it takes many hours of practice to cut in by hand like this. I still advise my DIY clients to tape+caulk most cut-in lines, especially between two high-contrast colors. Yeah, it takes more time but they are not on the clock - they will get sharper lines than hand cutting IMO
He’s getting paint splatter from the roller all over his trim/floor molding
Do you have to wipe the walls after sanding?
You are not creating dust after sanding; the sanding is just to remove imperfections. I would advise against wiping even with a soft cloth, because the paint has to cure. Just use a clean sanding pad.
@@paintpaintpaintco.6039 yes he is, and his ceiling cut looks like shit. Where he stops and leans on wall to talk about ordinance you can see a horrible line right above his head. Baseboard looked very poor as well right from the start.
Taping….DIY’ers, dont listen tk ppl who tell you not to tape. Tape is not expensive, is easy to apply and will save you many headaches all while giving you ruler straight lines. Use Frogtape in blue or green. Its $7-9 a roll and has gel lock technology.
“This is not about speed, it is about perfection”! Love it!!
I don't have the patience 🙃 nor precision
@@twincherry4958 yeah that small roller icover maybe for a closet or kitchen NO for a bedroom or bigger room
This DIY tutorial on painting a room is an absolute must-watch for beginners. It has a clear instructions, from choosing the right paint and tools to mastering the techniques, turned what I thought was a complex project into a straightforward, satisfying DIY endeavor. I couldn't be happier with the results.
Really appreciate that! Cheers
AFTER YOU SAND THE WALL DONT YOU WIPE THE DUST OFF?. if you don’t then when you paint over it it will gritty. I don’t know what to do
“None of this “w” business.”
Jeff… You just changed the game! 🤯
w is folks without a paint stick. and they use way too much paint
I've painted my entire house (walls, ceiling) and your videos were what gave me the confidence to do it! Not to mention learning that DIY stuff doesn't have to be this daunting, weird thing. Appreciate your content!
@@jcc8206 I just taped up my bathrooms but I'm going to freehand the rest of the house as he showed.
Exactly
My husband and I watched this videos before painting the whole downstairs of our home with 20 ft ceilings we brought all products recommended. Our home look as if it was painted by professionals!!!! Our cut work is spectacular. I promise you if you do everything as explained you’ll never need a professional to paint your home again. THE CUT WORK ❤️🔥😍🥰 You saved us about $1800 which is the cheapest estimate we got from contractors. THANKS!!!
I once paid 5k to have my home painted. After doing the laundry room myself recently, I decided I got screwed lol I didn’t see this video before the laundry room and messed up a few times but I can see how it would be much easier now after seeing this. I was so glad I saw your post because I’ve got super high ceilings too and it made me wonder if I could do the whole house myself.
@@dia9491 I did our crazy 18 foot entry hall and it turned out SO nice. I've had professional work that didn't look as nice.

This is a lifesaver for someone like me who had never painted before. The step-by-step instructions were incredibly clear and made the process feel manageable even for a novice. I'm now confident I can tackle my painting projects with ease, all thanks to this helpful tutorial.
Thank you so much for the straight forward, no bs, extremely informative video! You seem very genuine in the advice and techniques you share and I appreciate all the great tips and also that amazon product list is such a huge help - made it super easy to order everything I needed for my upcoming interior painting project! Cheers!
Holy mackerel! Wife and I painted our living room and hallway recently and just about everything you said NOT to do, we did 😂. We’re doing the kitchen next and we will do it right this time. Thanks!
Another good tip: use plenty of really bright work lights.

I’ve been painting for about a year and my boss taught me well but I like how you structure your videos. Very concise. Much appreciated!
Do you have any tips for removing the dust post sanding?
I don't have a shop vac and I'm making a mess 😅
@@HexNebula we’ve used brooms to sweep down the wall after drywallers did their mud. Definitely worth having a good vacuum with a brush though!
@@stratisclouds would a normal hoover not get damaged by the dust?
@@HexNebula I’m not sure. We have a husky and I have a rigid and and even our smaller makita and dewalt do just fine. I would do a shop vac, something without a bag that wouldn’t get affected by the dust.
@@HexNebula brush walls and if you want to be extra use tac cloths.
In my years of painting as an amateur, I never knew about sanding between coats. Great advice!
Sounds like an absolute waste of time, I’d personally advise sanding before if needed and I know I’m no pro but I’ve done a lot painting over the last 15 years I can’t say I’ve ever experienced a sandpaper like finish he describes in this video, the biggest reason it sounds like a waste of time however is because who the hell is feeling up their walls 😂
as long as you’re happy with how it looks I’d seriously recommend spending your time on anything else instead
I wiped all my walls before I painted them by I didn’t think to sand them. They have two coats but I have plenty of extra paint would it be worthwhile to slightly sand it by hand and do one more coat? It’s my finished basement and it looks fine there’s some grip but you have to get up really close to see it. Also I have a 5 gallon bucket so it was hard to precisely pour only what I needed. So I’ve had the excess pain sitting in the roller contained under a plastic bag and little chunks started to dry. What should I do get rid of it?
@@eirebhoy132 maybe it’s because it’s plaster and not Sheetrock like what I have in my basement because I’ve never heard of that either
@@eirebhoy132 : Like you said you’re not a pro…..it’s about the visual finish. Stick to being a milkman !!!!
One of the few videos that showed how to properly paint. Worked as a union painter for three years and these were the methods they taught in the union schools. EXCELLENT.
I like how calm you are, thanks for sharing your knowledge
By far the most detailed/informative diy painting video i’ve come across out maybe 100 videos that i’ve watched lol. I plan on doing a color change in my house but i’ve never painted a day in my life. Now i feel confident after watching this video. Thank you! Great video!
This saved us from the frustration of uneven edges. Thanks SO much, walls look great now, and I have a new respect for pricier paint. Don't skimp on cheap paint and tools was my biggest lesson!
I just painted my hallway, and after watching your clip, realize all the mistakes I’ve made.
But it still feels good to be able to admire a newly painted wall despite the brush marks 😕.
Thank you for the info.
This deserves every bit of praise. Really unfussy and clear advice that really does help a lot. The best lesson in this video is to take your time with it.
From one professional to another, this man is 100%. That is rare for RUclips 😅. Spot on pointing out the (lazy) mistakes
Thanks so much for your awesome tips. I was so unhappy with how my walls felt after repainting them last year. The fix was so simple thanks to you. My walls now look and feel like I hired a pro.
I painted my 120 year old house inside and out and learned some of this stuff the hard way but learned more Today watching this! so thank you so much !! I now feel validated 😅 by your sanding tip. When I-was sanding the outside of my house people would stop by and tell me it wasn’t necessary but i could tell it made it a difference . It was a lot of work sanding but worth it
You explain so well , tomorrow I ll paint my wall. God bless you ❤
Jeff, you're a great instructor . And your skills are second to none .
I'm just starting off on fixing up my 1962 little house. I'm starting with painting the bedrooms and am excited to start. I have prepped the first room as you showed. Since I just turned 64 my confidence is a little sketchy but I am motivated. Soon I'll be a retired nurse and will have more time to DIY everything. Your attention to detail and teaching style is beautiful! Thanks so much!
Cheers Dianne!
I'm a newly minted retired nurse too. Congratulations on your career and enjoy your renovations.
I am currently repainting all the interior walls of my house and followed this fellow's video to a tee and was disappointed in the finish. I chose a Velvet paint over an eggshell, so im not sure if this made a difference. My walls had a "stripey" finish which was especially noticeable on the walls with the most sun exposure I.e. my whole living room. My elderly father was a contractor and according to him, has painted thousands of walls and I should have asked him for his tips and tricks first, but I turned to youtube and this video and i noticed your "nurse" comment at that time.
I've re-done my paint job with my Dad's advice and I'm so happy with the results. ( I had to completely and thoroughly sand and prime the walls as the stripey finish would have haunted every layer of paint)
The only tips I'm keeping from this video are how to cut in the ceiling and around the trim. I didn't need to tape off anything and only had to wipe up a couple of spots where I goofed and got a little paint on the trim.
My Dad's advice:
Wash, patch and sand areas if needed. Put a light coat of primer over the spackled areas.
Lightly sand the walls with ~150 grit sandpaper and wipe down with a clean microfiber mop head.
Prime the walls with primer ...very important step and don't skip it according to my Dad
Lightly Sand between all coats of paint with 180 to 220 grit paper and wipe away the dust again with the clean microfiber mop. I know this fellow in the video says wiping after sanding not needed ever but why get dust and such stuck in your paint finish.
Divide the wall length horizontally in 3 sections and about 4 feet vertically. Apply paint with a 6mm to 10 mm roller ( the video says 18 mm but this gives a thick heavy textured look that i didnt like and the smaller pile roller gives a smoother finish)
In the ~3x4 foot sections going from the ceiling to the floor,
Apply the paint in a M then roll over this M horizontally in a zip zag motion
Do this to the other 2 sections below your first section. Once all three areas are done now lightly roll in one direction from the ceiling to the floor covering your last roller mark a few inches.
Work quickly.
Now start on the next 4 foot piece of wall and repeat.
Honestly, I actually used less paint with this technique and the painting of the wall went quicker then the video's techniques and best of all...No stripes in the finish!
Hope this unsolicited advice helps you avoid the costly time and money mistakes I made this week.
Best of luck in your retirement and your painting. 💗
Your love and passion for your work is contagious! Great work and thank you for making the video.
I have been painting since my late teens. 20 years in. You are by far the greatest at what you do. Thank you!
Just finished a room the other day! I used a lot of your information from removing wallpaper, to patching holes, to laying on new paint! Thank you so much! You gave me the confidence to do it!
Great video and expert tips. Another tip is the importance of adequate LIGHT. So many homes are poorly lit. I always use a couple cheap clip lights for painting so you can really see what you’re doing.
So I just painted my room, following the video. A couple of obervations:
- Clean the dust off the wall after sanding
- USE PRIMER (i'm not sure if this is how its called). This layer of primer will make your paint stick and will allow the paint to be spread evenly. Otherwise its all gonna be a disaster.
- Stir up the paint with a stick before pouring
- Use good tools
I was looking for this comment as he didn’t wipe off the dust after sanding and I was certain it was an important step to take
Some paints don’t require primer or have primer in them. I just painted my new home in sherwin Williams emerald satin. No primer but applied two coats over the cheap flat white the builder used. I sanded and patched holes and other stuff. And the paint job came out beautifully. The most important part is rolling in the same direction and backrolling to even out the paint eliminate roller lines. The final job is beautiful, No lap lines nothing it looks professional.
The only thing I’d add is to backroll the cut ins with a roller while the paint is still wet to change the texture and minimize brush lines.
Ah thank you that’s what I’m here for I wondered if wiping the walls after sanding had to be done.
How do you clean the dust off?
@Belgee Thank you for the extra tips. Could you let us know which grit sandpaper did you use? Also, did you use microfiber rags to clean off the dust, or something else?
This is a lifesaver for someone like me who had never painted before. The step-by-step instructions were incredibly clear and made the process feel manageable even for a novice. I'm now confident I can tackle my painting projects with ease, all thanks to this helpful tutorial.👍👍👍
These tips are phenomenal, but your personality and soft yet educational delivery makes these videos worth the watch. Thanks for sharing! ❤
In order to prevent the paint brush handle and steel band from getting messed up, try taping it with masking tape. At the end of the job remove the tape cos when it dries up it is a pain to remove. In that way your handle and steel band remains clean like new.
Thank you so much for your "how to" interior painting videos. My husband passed 8 years ago, and this is the first time I've tackled painting alone. Your videos made it easy but, better yet, took away the stress I was feeling about diving in. I just have to say that 8-in-one painter's tool is a little bit of magic, along with adding the extension stick to the roller. I was just going to repaint the living room, but now I feel confident to refresh all the rooms.

That's awesome, and I definitely think that refreshing the whole house will make you feel better about your home and your life! Sorry for your loss, but I think you're amazing for tackling these projects by yourself. Good luck my friend!! 😊
I just lost my husband, too. Now I am going to learn how to do these home repair projects he always said he’d do, but never did. If it’s to be, it’s up to me! Let’s do this! 💪🏻
This video was honestly so helpful, I’m gonna be painting my bathroom for the very first time and I’m very excited but also nervous but this video gave me sooo much info on what to do what to buy etc. Great video!
Wow, Im pleasantly surprised by how informative it was. I appreciated the detailed explanations and demonstrations, which have given me the knowledge and motivation to transform my space with a fresh coat of paint.
I've painted several of my own houses top to bottom and always hated doing it, turns out I had no idea what I was doing! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
You are one remarkable teacher ! I know, after forty years. Great video, clear, articulate and with everything explained fully and with all the science, logic and common sense that goes with it too. Great job and finish at the end. Bravo , keep them coming please.

I appreciate your straightforwardness and getting to the point without a lot of unnecessary fluff. I’m a man. Just tell me what I need to know. That’s what you do. Thanks, brother.

Thank you for this video. I wish I knew this years ago when I first tried to paint. I gave up after that lol.. now I’m interested in doing it again. I love your techniques
This and your other videos are incredibly helpful for someone like me who's going to be undertaking some big paint jobs soon and trying to do the best I possibly can with little experience. Thank you!
OMG! I am so glad I found your video! I am currently repainting my home for the 2nd time, boy am I glad I haven't gotten far! I will be buying this new paint! 😌 And starting fresh with all your great tips! I hope it's as easy as you make it look!! I have never heard of sanding in between coats, either!! 🤯 Thank you!!! 😊
A fabulous video, so helpful. I have always been the most hopeless painter. I'm mid-way through re-painting my teen daughters' room and it's looking so professional. I'm mastering the edging and finally getting even strokes on the rolling. And not having to tape everything up is make life so much easier. Thank you so much. I feel comfortable now to tackle some of the more visible areas of the house that need repainting.
This is fantastic resource for novices like me. The straightforward instructions and insightful advice on preparation, technique, and cleanup simplified what seemed like a daunting task. Thanks to this video, I successfully painted my room with confidence and excellent results.👍👏
I'm about to paint a room for the first time, video was super helpful! You have a ton of experience and do a great job at showing and describing what you're doing! Keep up the great work, I'm sure this has helped thousands and will help thousands more!
So how did it turn out?
Man yall are dumb, pay this half price. He never does the touch up and a cut is just lazy. I only do that to maximize money, but u wouldn't do that in my house
Jeff - I SO OWE YOU!
10 days ago I painted my Closet-To-Voiceover Room conversion project w/ 2 coats of primer (over new plaster). Today, I laid down my first color coat. I have never felt so satisfied and accomplished as I do right now. The sanding step ( never did this step until this project) and 2nd color coat have yet to be applied. AND MY ARMS & BACK FEEL GREAT (that’s a first)!
I have been amateur / DYI painting our homes for 35 years. I got pretty good at taping rooms over that time. That said, I HATE taping, the time it takes, the removal process, and (even with Frog Tape) my still not superior results.
This is the first time I have ditched the tape and tried to freehand cut my edges lines. Learning curve for sure, but already I’m getting as good if not better results.
Likewise, we have always used either bargain or mid-range priced paint. We went higher end this time. That change, with breaking free from the tyrant of the “W-Method” (that I had been told for years was THE way to make a DIY job look good) has made a paradigm shift in my results and my enjoyment!
Tomorrow is sanding and second coat. I would normally be looking for an excuse to “let the paint cure a little longer.” As it stands, I can’t get to sleep and I’m fighting the urge to go check my room again!
Your videos, tips, expert advice that is easy to understand and follow, have been a game changer!
God bless you, Guy!!!
What grit did you use?
Followed your guidance to the letter to paint my living room this week, the results were amazing. In particular the 360 degree sander, magnetic paint brush pots, sanding between coats and most of all first time I’ve used the extender poll for the roller [I forgot to buy the stand which I’ll do next time] which was a game changer for me ! Also, after the first coat / edging cutting in I did a wall at a time so for the second coat, edging one wall then rollering it which gave excellent results. We think it’s the best paint job we’ve ever done plus we saved $1,800 in labour costs. Thanks again Cheers Declan - Brisbane, Australia.
Straya...Maaaaaaate.
Do you wipe off the excess after sanding? Where did you get the sander? Was it like in the video? I’m in Adelaide so be good to know. Thanks mate
I stumbled upon this video and it was a game-changer for me. The presenter's simple yet comprehensive instructions made painting a room feel like a breeze, and the tips for avoiding common mistakes were invaluable. Thanks for this, I successfully transformed my space and gained newfound confidence in my DIY skills. Superb bro 👏🙌
Thank you so much for this video (videos) you motivated me to start a little side hustle. With this very video i just made my first $1,150 profit painting a house. I use the exact same material you did except the 360 sander they didn’t have it a The Home Depot at the moment. 150 on supply and the rest was profit. Thank you so much. Planning to do my little business watching your videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I am so glad I came across this video before I start painting the house again! I was watching those W 9 second paint the wall vids and it was getting me down thinking I was doing it all wrong! I always like to do things nice and steady, no way should painting be a test of speed!
Thanks for this info!!! I am a woman that doesn’t mind doing her own painting etc. I’m currently painting at home and I went and bought the exact same roller extender you have and it is very nice and worth buying and it is awesome when painting. Makes it so much easier when painting.
I find that it’s more interesting and I’m more focus when somebody is passionate about their jobs and he can talk about the history behind it also. You doing a great jobs! Thanks for the video!
Perfect video for painting, getting ready to do my whole first floor! Awesome professional ideas for a novice 😉
I appreciate the tips you gave in this video, I used them to do the second coat of paint in my new apartment and the experience went from shoddy and tiresome to efficient and rather fun.
I've painted walls before, but never had them turn out as good as I'd like. With these tips, I can't wait to try again and do a better job!
Thank you so much! Thus video helped me so good. I painted my living room for the first time because of your video. From now on i can paint on my own. Thanks again!
This video is amazing. I love your presentation style and tips
I love painting. Being in the remodeling business for 30 plus years, painting is my favorite part of the whole process. The job is all downhill when you get to finish and painting. Easy work, relaxing, and rewarding!
without beating around the bush, you got straight to the point, awesome video, thanks
I’ve been a GC for over 30 years, and I absolutely hate painting myself, but I have watched and heard all this from my best painting subcontractors throughout the years. God bless you for boiling it all down to tips for the homeowner and DIYer.
Your video (as well as a couple of others) gave me the confidence to paint my new home. I sanded, patched, and painted two coats. Sherwin Williams emerald. And it came out beautifully. Straight laser lines. It was a ton of work. But I got it done. And I thank you.
Thanks for Sharing your Knowledge and Wisdom.
As someone who is also vertically challenged, I love using extension poles. One that locks in place seems like a wonderful addition.
This was a fantastic video. I’ve never seen anyone explain technique so well. I feel like I’ve never painted properly before. I learned A LOT! Your teaching skills are top notch. Never boring and never confusing. Great camera work too. This was a really well made video. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I subscribed a few minutes into this!
@Jesus is coming. Read the Gospel. very strange you're in the wrong thread of comments
Great tips! I always love your presentations.
While I don't typically tape everything myself, I do cover the baseboards... I always seem to get fine spray from the roller that goes unnoticed until after you are done and it is dry. While most of today's modern paints are considered primers as well, one surface I always put dedicated primer on is bare wood and drywall (and sand after). Both just suck up paint like crazy and dedicated primer helps seal and allows you to see/fix imperfections before the top coats go on.
Feeling confident after watching this. I agree. Buying good quality tools to do the job is important.
OMG! I love this video and gave you a 👍🏻 thumbs up. I have painted for years and thought I knew how to paint, but I still learned a lot from you even though I do same technique. I didn’t sand between coats. I would prep a wall by
using a putty knife and running it down the wall to get off bumps from other painters and wiping down with a cloth afterwards. Thank you for saying not to do that “W” thing I always thought that was dumb instead of going up and down in a vertical line. Also the importance of not leaving that wet edge to dry before finishing a wall. You gave so many tips. I have cut in with a brush, but your technique is so much more refined! Thanks for a great video! New sub!
You’re a gem; I’m about to prep my walls to paint
New to renovating. Learning a lot. Thank you so much!
I cannot tell you how HELPFUL this video is. Great teaching!
Glad you think so!
One of my favorite tools for cleaning dust/webs from walls, windows, cabinets is the Webster on a long pole. You can do an entire house in an hour. Mechanical advantage with that long pole.
Oh you make it look so easy! Thanks.
Loved this video! So detailed and thorough! Thank you.
Watched this video and the one with a paint sprayer. Renting a paint sprayer this weekend to paint an apartment. The older apartment has textured walls. new paint what a difference in this 40 year old unit. Going from cream a nice white to brighten it all up. Used the brush and roller for the bedroom. But biggest thing is years of it being a previously rented unit means my prep work, patching, and sanding has taken so much more time than I expected.
What was the sandpaper grit?
And did you wipe the wall after sanding? Love the details you showed on cutting in
150 grit per Amazon store item -- Goldblatt G25643 Vortex 150 Grit 9-Inch Sanding Disk, 15-Pack
I’ve watched the paint like a pro 3 times. It’s my paint bible but I love seeing this quick and to the point version! I am painting a rental unit and this drives all the very important parts home in a concise manner. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY When sanding the walls between coats, do you wipe down the walls before starting the next coat?
Thanks, I never sanded between coats before, but it made a huge difference
You’re so good brother. Bless you great work you’re doing and teaching at the same time. Thanks
I watched your original A-Z painting video, and although we have always painted our own house I finally paint and especially edge without taping! I tell everyone about your channel! Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you Sheila. Cheers!
