I'm a retired painting contractor with 50 years experience. You without a doubt give the best painting tips on YouTube. 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. ;-)

I watched this video 10 times before painting my room. My wife LOVED the job I did. Thanks so much.

[bizquitia]

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 🙏

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!

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'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! 😅

[spirals]

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!!

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 admire people who take their time to help others.

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

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.

[LuannaMcFarland]

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.

[carls]

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!

[sandsband]

I'm not even painting anything and watched this whole video. So relaxing and informative

[tfrffss]

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.

[chronesrt]

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.

[queentome]

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!!!

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
