[@Idahopainter]

Awesome, glad to hear, thanks for watching and supporting!

[@choimdachoim9491]

From personal experience I would add four more pieces of advice: 1. Always have the client move their furniture. One client accused me of damaging a display-cabinet's contents and I never ever moved another piece of furniture for any client again. If they don't like that, you don't need that job. 2. Have the client buy and deliver the paint. There can be no discussion about "That's not the color I wanted." 3. Video every square foot of the job before and after so there can never be any discussion about the job quality. 4. Always and I mean always get the job-description and particulars in writing, signed and dated by the client. Absolutely get any change-orders written, signed and dated. Believe me, some clients have bad memories but some actually are out to screw any and all contractors. They think you charge too much so they want something for free. My last big client was dealing with dozens of properties and in his old-age couldn't remember what he told me day to day. He was a good guy but he was failing mentally. Having everything in writing saved me a lot of arguing. Painting, as presented in this presentation is a simple and pleasant occupation. Preparation is absolute key and taking your time is equally important. Never rush.

Pro tip: put the screws from the outlet/switch plates back into the holes. Saves you tons of time trying to figure out the size of the screws and you’ll never misplace a screw again. Sometimes the different plates have different size screws.

[@hooperv]

You're my go-to guy on anything about painting. I have watched many videos over many years. And I've learned quite a bit. But, I always patch walls before I do anything else. That way it's dry and ready when everything else is done and the room is ready for painting. Also, I don't allow anyone to open a can of paint before they have a clean, wet, white rag. That way if there are any mishaps, Then you have a wet rag in a second. So as to not allow any spills, drips, or anything to have time to start drying. Also, I always wet my brushes then slap out the excess water. This way they clean up easier. Keep up the great videos I study them a lot.

[@MrBryancreeger]

Totally going to try it this way. I typically cut in then paint, then do the process over again for my second coat. Thanks for sharing

[@ronaldshank7589]

The Cu,R,T method is always best. This guy knows how to paint, except that he rolls then Cuts, then, if needed, he trims. Cu-Cut in all of your borders. R-Roll in the body of your paint. T-Lastly, Trim in any wooden borders, such as Quarter-round, shoemold, and baseboards. That is the CORRECT way to paint. I've been painting off and on for 16 years. You never, and I mean never roll, then cut around the edges! Cut, Roll, and Trim! It's that simple!

[@coloradoboo1071]

Great overview of interior painting! I started watching all of your videos a few months ago and I'm now painting almost as good as a pro! My house is about halfway done (started in the finished basement) and prep time always takes the longest. Since I'm also painting the ceilings (same color), removing everything from the room is mandatory so adds a lot ot prep time but definitely worth the trouble. Using the 4" roller for cutting the corners is SO smart and also looks great. Keep up the great channel....and don't forget to put in God's Word! 1 Peter 3:15

[@thunderpooch]

You're painting the ceiling the same color? That's ok, but maybe I can provide some info why that's not typically done. There's psychoacoustics, and there's another field known as psychovisuals. The idea is to work with your human brain, and how it perceives color and distance/depth, and not against it. The reason ceilings are typically painted white is that it "lifts the ceiling." The diffracted light makes it hard to notice where excactly the ceiling begins, so essentially you don't notice the exact height your ceiling is at. And for most people and our modest homes and rooms, ceilings are pretty darn low. Painting the ceiling a darker color than white or an off white makes the ceiling appear low and ominous. You'll tend to notice there's a "big cover" just above you. Noticing the exact height of your ceiling adds a feeling of claustrophobia. Rooms start to look like tunnels and caves. Most don't like this. In a few rooms it can be great for a change of pace (kids' play rooms or spare room to watch tv/play video games) , but not for your entire house. If your ceiling height is extremely tall, then you will want to consider the reverse techniques. Use a darker color, or perhaps install darkened beams (typically wood) to "bring the ceiling down." It makes rooms with huge vaulted ceilings or ceilings above 12 feet in height a touch cozier. Hope that helps. :)

Overlapping has been an issue as well. Gonna hit another room today (the 2nd time) and hope for better results using what I've learned from your videos! I like your tattoos as well! Thank You!!

Hello from Canada! I love watching your tips and tricks! I have a question! The previous owners of our house had wall decals and stickers on some of the walls in our new house. Unfortunately when they moved they peeled off the decals and stickers and left behind a mess, some peeling off paint and the top layer of drywall, while others left behind the whole back of the sticker and all the sticky residue. I have purchased a product to help break down this sticky residue, and a lot of elbows grease later the walls look, well Okay-ish 🙄. So here is my question....what can I use to wash away this oily mess the crud cutter product left behind before I paint?

Cutting in afterwards only works when you use flat and some products in satin, if you use semi or gloss it will flash. Darker colors need at least 2 coats of cut in and will flash if you don't cut in one wall at a time and roll out(same with semi gloss and gloss). Basically this technique only works with lighter neutral colors that are flat or in certain products satin.

A Jay

[@coachdee5162]

You are correct but as u can see he does cut ins with brush then uses a roller I tried it and it is very smart for speed and same outcome try it before criticizing.. but ceilings go 1st no matter what

[@MrGurufication]

yes.. a jay ceilings first 2 coats then walls always cut in both coats . caulk will craze as you say.. due to certain things taken out of paints these days, health n safety . a coat of zinsser over the top sorts it out though

[@savioromie9534]

Saji Vs he’s not criticising he’s right, never roll then cut. Always cut then roll because if you roll then cut you will see the streaks of your brush quite obvious. You don’t won’t that

[@simonmosca514]

I don't know where to buy caulk, I went to hardware store and the people just laughed at me when I asked if I can see their caulks

painters like me love to paint in empty rooms

[@zestydude87]

I have a large plastic tool box that i keep stocked with all my brushes, my masking tap, extra rollers of various sizes, spackle and a putty knife, scissors, several screwdrivers. Makes it easy for me to bring all my equipment in to the house in just one trip.

Lol I got the joke mate

Also they don't use ladders because for higher ceiling ladder may not be able to reach, like pent House or 2 storey bungalow. They use up to 4 x elongated aluminium pole, and you don't rolled and cut in. This is a mistake most professionals do. You cut in first then roll as the thickness of paint on roller and brush is different. After rolling then cut, you might see the lines of the brush.
