One tip for people: When you first put the roller to the wall after dipping, roll upwards because it throws paint onto the wall. If you roll downwards 1st, it throws paint onto the floor.

I've been DIYing for 40 years and flipping houses for 10 and I never thought I would learn so much from watching a guy paint a 6' wall. I watched this video last night knowing I had 2 bedrooms to paint in a flipper today. I stopped at the box store this AM and bought the 2-4' extension pole and the quick lock, ball-bearing cage and man....what a difference!! It was so much quicker then my old method, which is pretty much what this guy mocked as 'laborious'. He was right. I also bought an oversized tray that holds a full gallon and between the new paining method and no need for refills, I knocked everything out super quick. Thanks so much for the advice. It's a great video and very well presented!! :)

[@michaelh7490]

Been painting for 16 years professionally and I'd say for the average homeowner this is a great video. It's not really how the pros do it but it's definitely very close and will give you a nice result. Some of the differences are that we typically use 18 inch rollers because theyre faster and leave more even lines. We use mini rollers for corners and back rolling brushed areas as its faster and reduces brush marks. Also with how good modern brushes are I would use a 2 inch brush. It's smaller so it can hit tighter spots, it's lighter so less hand fatigue and they hold plenty of paint. Theres some other things too but like I said he did a good video for home owners. Also, one hundred percent sand between coats. That's my favorite tip of his

[@shannonedens7854]

Good to know. I'm a home owner repainting our whole house, and the 18" roller has been indispensable. I use mini rollers for the corners, and I use tape and mini rollers instead of cutting with a brush. My wife can cut in with a brush, but I suck at it. Frog Tape and mini roller for me.

Try taping the rim of the paint can, using masking tape, then u can pour the paint and simply pull the tape up to reveal a clean rim, which allows you to reseal the can tightly and helps the remaining paint stay good longer . You can even apply the masking tape in a V configuration!

Finally, a painter on a DIY channel who seems to know what he's doing. I've discovered, when I'm cutting in the ceiling or base board line, that if I keep my eye travelling along the line itself, rather than on the tip of brush or on the paint, the brush automatically follows along nicely. This has resulted in much faster and cleaner cut-ins for me.

Tip for you in return - drop or 2 of regular Dawn dish soap when you mix your 45 min and the grease cutting agent busts surface tension on the water and eliminates pock holes in the mud and makes sanding require less pressure!

I learned so much from you in this video. The greatest tip was "cutting in" properly. I just completed a large bedroom and a bathroom that came out really well. The amazing thing is that I didn't end up feeling stressed out and frustrated because of the cutting in that was necessary. I wasn't even intimidated by the chopped up bathroom! Thanks for everything you really made my life much easier. and My wife thinks I am amazing.

[@danlynch5997]

two things : when you cut , don't scrape your paint off on the edge of the pail, if you do ,the further you go the more the line of paint will creep up toward the ferral causing the bristles to not only separate which makes it harder to cut cleanly, but harder to wash clean .Instead gently pat thesides against the inside of the can which presses it in so it doesn't drip but gives you even more paint to work with than scraping it off. Secondly , when you roll , start mid wall and ALWAYS push up first . This negates the possibility of an overfilled roller or use of a thinner product dripping onto the floor or the roll(cage) catching and causing a squeegey effect shoving paint onto the floor . Full time painter here for the last 35 yrs also unior apprentice instructor

[@TheNukesAreComing]

So not scrape the brush in the can line Jeff did?

[@darenconnole3224]

@@TheNukesAreComing Correct. He takes too much paint off in the video. Plus he wastes too much time unloading the brush on areas the roller is going to get. He almost doesn't need the roller

So what is your advice for not having your patch job show thru your paint job?

[@czapskibusinessgroup]

Nice, I just watched another video about just lightly tapping the edges for cutting. Do you not prime sheetrock spots prior to paint? What about wiping the excess dust off when sanding the wall? I always breakout my dewalt orbital with 120 and dust collection and just give the whole wall a light sand.

sometimes it happens on new drywall. you prime with white tinted primer, small repairs and rub downs and touch-ups, then 1st coat with some white supermatt and voilla: screw you, quality surveyor. or even better: prime with diluted dulux supermatt or vinyl matt and if you work it in right and the driwall was good, you get extra lazy bonus. here in uk we abandoned dedicated wall primers long ago, we use cheap white matts as standard for priming drywall and plaster. but seriously, anyone does this to me on my jobs and i send him home.

Man, the humbleness and the simplesness in your speech while you teach your tips, that just encouraged me to paint my room all alone! Wish you all the best sir, the world should have more people like you, humble! Big hug from Portugal 💪

[@jff1813]

I've got nearly my whole house painted and these tips, particularly the cutting in and using the pole the whole time, are going to make the rest much easier!

[@kelvinguzman9604]

Dude!!! You're like the freaking Bob Ross of painting. Like I litterly watch this whole video and was so entertained and informed. That i had to subscribe. Thanks man!

[@connorvoelz7144]

Bob Ross was the Bob Ross of painting.

I wish the “professional” I hired would have been this thorough! Having a lot of imperfections in the walls of our new home is why I hired a “professional.” I fired said professional for always being hours late & dragging out a 2 week job for more than 6 weeks. Not a single room in the house was 100% completed, despite my pleas to finish SOMETHING. Anyway, these tips will come in handy as I finish the job myself & go back over what he didn’t do right. Thank you for this video!

[@TheWidowMaker.]

You probably paid him a daily rate instead of a project rate

[@mmmpoetry]

I was watching a flooring video and then had to let it run for a bit because my hands were full - and even though I wasn’t looking for an painting video, this was a pleasure to watch and listen to. It is by far the most instructive video I have ever seen on painting, and if I ever get brave enough to paint, I am going to rewatch this. Thank you!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

you can do this. Cheers!

[@johncasey5594]

I have done a decent amount of painting in my life, I thought I knew how to paint. In just the first few minutes of this video I learned three new things. Good thing cause I am about to be painting my bedroom. Thanks, great video.

[@donaldsincennes9673]

Great video! Like all the tips! Few things if I may add is I am a professional painter and I do recommend back brushing when cutting in and woodwork! 2 1/2 brush is easy to handle. Also I generally use a 13 to 15 mil roller for walls. For ceilings 20 to 25 thickness. This eliminates lap marks especially on a flat ceiling Tip! When painting trim I always dilute my paint 10%. Cheers!

[@Sheila-cm4jy]

What do you mean by "back brushing" ?

[@Cute_and_cozy]

Forcing everyone that helps me paint my house this weekend to watch this first. I’m not taking any chances 😂

[@doriancain8734]

Good luck getting help Doubt they’d watch a vid this long 😂

Do it yourself

[@lllllllllllllllllllll1lll1]

Lol that's why I'm doing this work alone. Love my friends, but once they get into the beers n weed they start making mistakes 😂

[@chrisb6056]

Jeff, just a massive thank you for the video and doing it in a way that makes it easy for someone to pick up a brush and complete a great job. Based on this Video I prepped, prepped, prepped and painted both my girls rooms and they couldn't be happier with the outcomes. I'll be going through all your other videos and seeing what else I can get up to around the house. Keep it up! Cheers

[@seanwallace6782]

Did I just watch a guy paint for 40 min? Actually learned a lot, thank you.

[@deriksincantan678]

He's 0% bull hes a beast he's the man no joke Ive watched lots of people he is good very good

[@alserrette]

Lol, i can only imagine my face when he said that. It was so naughty, lmao

[@kcdeville7753]

Omg thank you so much for these tips! I am currently painting 4 rooms in my house and these tips will save me hours, I’m a tattooist, my husband and I own our shop and my son and I have currently started a second business so time is a precious commodity to me lol. You have no idea the amount of time you have saved me!! Yours in Ink, KC DeVille

[@OlTommyBoy]

Mesmerizing. Great tips and tricks! I can't wait to give them a try on my next job. I thought I was a good painter util I watched this video. Fastest 40 minutes I've spent since I went fishing last time!

[@Biruk2002]

This guy just makes you so comfortable about painting a wall. He's very engaging too. Great video

[@TracieClaiborne]

This is the best video about painting that I have ever seen. I’m about to tackle a big painting job and this was exactly the information that I needed. I probably will still tape my baseboards because I am a perfectionist and I know my limitations but everything else I’m going to do it exactly like you did and I’m going to watch this about 10 more times before I start. I especially needed the information about spackling and about how to make the corners straight and clean again. My house is 25 years old and the corners have been messed up since we built the house. Our painters were horrible people that ripped us off and they did not do you a good job like you do. I’m about to fix their mistakes. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.

[@mikemiller8170]

Learned more about painting in this one vid than in 40 years of home ownership. Nicely done, and thanks.

[@naphtalieh.gbolahan2568]

Where have you been all my life! Thank you for this tips. You've given me hope. I hate cutting in the walls and doing trim. Thank you.

[@cherilafleur]

Watching this as I am starting my door painting project tomorrow. Hoping to learn a few tips. Wish me luck.

[@lisakenton2392]

Its amazing how loving what you do can make something like watching paint dry incredibly interesting. Its his love of his work that holds your interest, and makes his instruction so very helpful.

[@terrabyte911]

Never held a paintbrush in my life but I thoroughly enjoyed watching that.

[@XCPainter]

Good job man. Video is a big success. For everybody watching... painting is hard enough as it is. Making a comprehensive video is a HUGE accomplishment. This is a very well done video. I certainly can't get in front of the camera and speak about painting as well as Jeff does here. Or at least it will take a LOT more practice.

[@wspell]

This man is a magician!!! I have never been so enthralled with a DIYer! What a teacher!!! I am a total convert!!!! I’m still a bit scared, but ready to try!! Thank you so much for speaking to us as “peers”… with potential!!

[@rrss5497]

The best way to paint like a pro? Hire THIS guy, he's great.

[@davydutre5531]

Hahaha what a joke

[@PaulSmith-df9vy]

I wish I’d have watched this video 15 years ago. It would have saved me 5 😁 So many things I learnt myself over a long time. So glad your helping others so fantastically avoid errors. Great choice of filler. Flashing can be devastating. I’m glad I’m not the only one who describes his work as “sexy” as said in your video. Sign of a passionate tradesman. Impressed. Great work !!!!!

[@ferral23]

At 50 years old after watching your video (and many of your others) I'm seriously considering switching career. You've managed to change my perception of decorating as being a boring, relatively straightforward trade into an art form. Btw this is the first time I've ever felt compelled to comment on a DIY video. Great craftsmanship! Btw, would i be mad to consider getting into this at 50!?

[@xkILAkOKONUTx]

If you think you’ll enjoy it, it doesn’t matter how old you are.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

I got into it at 35, after 15 years in the bar business. My partner is almost 70. We’ve got more business than we know what to do with, we set our own prices and work our own hours, and haven’t left behind an unhappy client yet, 5 years in. If you like making things rights and have an eye for detail, I recommend it

[@7Kazi7]

Age is just a number bro don't let it stop you

[@rubenvarela4674]

WOW! This man knows his stuff. I am about to go home and paint so the wife will be happy. I hate painting, however, with these tips I am actually looking forward to trying them. Thank you

[@dlf1976]

Thank you for such an excellent video!! I feel like a trained pro now. Your instructions are so easy and clear. I can tell you're an expert

[@leacyt389]

I've been painting forever, I love painting, never knew all the mistakes I was making! What a truly informative video! THANKS!!!

[@andreeadumitrescu3507]

Loved this tutorial, hubby & I learned so much from watching it just before starting to decorate our bedroom - had bought 4 rolls of masking tape in advance, but used none of it due to your cutting in technique, so we need to return it now 😍

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Great job!

[@janehop]

I like to do my own painting. I don't like unknown people in my house, and I am constantly disappointed in the sloppy work a lot of people do these days. This is a much appreciated video. I also watched his drywall repair, very good! This guy does a great job of explaining the DIY processes. Happy for the sheetrock 45 tip fixing the holes and edges. cool, thanks

[@soulistic87]

Completed my first successful diy paint job with no tape. This helped so much thank you!

[@on4acres]

Great video, often I think painting is a simple process. However there is a huge difference between painting and painting well.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Very true Erik. If the homeowner does it well it can make them a lot of money. Cheers!

[@beardmeetsfood298]

This video is legit... start to finish "how to" and you can tell this guy is a pro! Love it

[@BIGbirdG]

Im 28 and ive been doing home remodeling for about 12 years now and painting has always been alittle of a struggle for me and thsi video really breaks down the details of what has to be done im super detail oriented due to adhd and this is how i learn thank you man

[@FirstLast-po8oz]

I got a roller pole to paint my stairwell (clueless housewife here :D) and ended up using it to paint a different room on a whim and it was honestly revolutionary. You have so much more consistency of pressure and control and it's no where near as tiring (or frustrating if you're short like me, no more up and down stepstools). I'll never go without a roller pole again. I also severely underestimated how frustrating and ultimately costly cheap rollers are, the ones that don't have bearings and don't roll right, you have to put so much pressure on them they're basically trash. I just thought that was normal (-_-) @30:45 Oooooooh that corner is looking SHARP I tell ya what. Also thanks for your content, I found you with your video on finished basements and I appreciate your honesty about old homes and finished basements. As an antique home owner it's so frustrating to deal with the modern reno/diy marketing that oversells everything.

[@collinkloster6571]

“You don’t want to drag any dirt through your mud”. I think the funniest stuff he says is completely unintentional😂

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

In case anybody didn't notice there wasn't even a speck of paint on his shirt. To me that's one of the biggest marks of professionalism in any skilled trade.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

when you use the right product you can work clean. Cheers!

[@holysheet4958]

I'm sorry but it has nothing at all to do with product, and has no bearing on how professional or talented he is, it's just a case of changing his shirt regularly.

[@GreyZonex]

@@holysheet4958 shat ap ! This guy is obv a pro !

[@DcLoki12]

He's got paint on his trousers lol

[@llTllOllBllYll]

I am a professional decorator and I can tell you it does not matter! Yes it looks professional to be clean and tidy especially decorating domestic properties. But it is near impossible try work a 12 hr shift painting inside cupboards on your knees, painting ceilings working with other people, rushing to get a job finished in time for deadlines. Impossible! It matters what your work looks like not what you look like lol. I worked with people that were spotless because they spent more time outside smoking and buying new overalls every two weeks than actually working.

[@wyattsdad8561]

Knowing how to paint at a professional level is a valuable skill. I’m so glad I was an apprentice painter in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I took a break from being a professional painter after 4 years but it taught me everything I needed to know to use in my current business. This video is a very good tutorial on how to paint like a professional.

[@cmrosell]

I thought I remember the instructions being patch, sand, paint, sand, paint; but I never saw the 2nd sanding. --Are you supposed to sand after the 1st coat? --And do you need to wash or wipe the walls down before painting to remove dirt or sanded material?

[@tsogrady200]

Hmm, Wierd that only Cliff noticed that he said he was going to sand between coats, but then didn't show that step. I imagine it would only take 15 seconds to sand if he sanded like he did before the first coat, and I would have apreciated seeing it in case there was anything different in sanding between coats. Otherwise great video like all of his other videos. Thank you

[@SuperStanster]

Yep, wipe the walls after sanding... with a wet cloth wrung out. Wipe a 4 ft area, flip the cloth, wipe another 4 foot area, then rinse out cloth at the sink and wring out water until it doesn't drip. Then continue wiping the wall.

[@Pestyfield]

Yeah, I'm wondering as well...where is the DIY dude with his answer to this question? Hello? ANyone out there?

[@charlenemacpherson957]

I was wondering this too!

[@nicholasbryson7506]

Yes sand after first coat, its just very light sand with a sanding pole. Just to knock down and dust or texture the roller has left behind yes damp cloth and you shouldn't scrub just quick wipe.
