How can I get the yellow pole the holds your paint roller and stick?
Thank you much!
thank you so much. we are selling our home and your helping me so much Thank You so much I appreciate this so much!
Does that sheetrock 45 not shrink in as it dries
HI, I want to buy the Hyde 09977 Radial Sander. Which sanding disc/ sanding paper using in the video (fit for the sander)? Can you show me the Amazon link to purchase it? Thanks.
I legitimately just watched you paint for a full 40 minutes and I wasn't bored at all... Nice work! Time to paint my place now!

Me too but I watched it twice. I want to know which brand of extension pole he has. I found the Wooster Sherlock but there are different sizes and models. Jeff please let me know exactly which pole and length and cage too since those also had metal interiors and plastic and both had ball bearings. Thank you for teaching! I have learned so much from you!!
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.
Hahaha maybe using SW paint and sleeves try that with a Wooster pro z and some quality paint
This is a terrible video no order or system to anything playing with paint, put the paint on the wall don't play around paint is designed to be applied not played with !!
Precision Coatings everyoneâs a critic, why not ball up and do your own video if youâre better
@@paulwalton3637 I'm considering it unfortunately I work in the coating industry and have for over a decade and don't really have time to make videos I learned from journeyman painters that's why I hate to see things like this because 99% of painters are not professionals and shouldn't be giving advice
@@precisioncoatings5019 What are you talking about? Are you saying this video is filled with bad advice and is not how to paint a wall?
This guy is the dad figure we all need in life. â€
I was thinking exactly the same . I didnât have a father so this means so much to me
đ
This man has such a precise and confident way of explaining everything.
Voice of experience coming through all the time. Great videos on this channel.
I think it's a matter if the person can Explain very well with details. I've worked with some guys that they will "teach you" but in the end you just gotta keep up with their way of explaining things.. not everyone at a job site is meant to teach other people... Of course there be some that get frustrated trying to teach other guys, the best thing I tell people that can't explain thing to others is to just demonstrate and make sure the other person is paying close attention.
He's the Bob Ross of home renovation
I personally think heâs arrogant and a control freak. Watch some videos where his wife is so called helping He keeps trying to redo her work or hovers over her.
â@@dirkdiggler9379 Control freak or not, he's a damn good painter.
I was in a dead end job in retail, watching this video, 6 months ago.
I decided to do a short courser at Tech in painting, and now I'm doing my Painting Apprenticeship, and am Loving it!
Thank you for being so into what you're doing and making it enjoyable to learn about. You may never see this comment, Jeff.
But you encouraged me to take up a trade and get onto a better career path, keep up the great content!

I'm obviously not Jeff, but this is a very cool story. Good luck! What a great feeling to find a profession that is enjoyable, fulfilling and ALWAYS NEEDED. Just thought I would say something positive to a stranger during a hard time. đ€

@@ligeiaztomb2755 I appreciate it, friend!
Who knew sitting up at 2am watching random CZcams videos would get me into a Career job haha
That's amazing! Congrats!
Hey man. Good luck!
Should of got a proper trade like plastering.
My Dad used to be a painter and decorator. He's 78 now. He always said to remember The Six P's.
Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance :D
Sharkfat very true
Just like measure twice cut once.
Mr. Poppers penguins had the same line!
Best comment
work smarter, not harder
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!
I'm a professional painter. Good tip!
Awesome to know!! Thank you!!!
Fantastic! Will definitely do this thank you
Can we just take a moment and appreciate trades people for keeping homes running & beautiful?
It is 4am, I need to paint absolutely nothing. But this seems just the kinda thing I need to learn. Dammit CZcams.
Its 1140 i was thinking the same thing
LOL
Lol I do need to paint but I can relate
4.07am and 3 months later, but I'm in the same situation. :-)
It's very useful knowledge even if you're not painting right now.
imagine our dads and granddads, they couldn't just go online and see video tutorials of almost anything, we are so lucky
And yet they managed to know and do all these things anyway
@SplatVeep well, it's seems a lot easier when someone does, but as soon as i start, i start seeing little imperfections, and i keep telling myself - i have just limited amount f paint lol
Yeah Except they most likely learned from there fathers at a very young age now in days we to busy on video games and etc
@@zayt8637 I'm fine with that.
What do you think they were talking about it at the pub in between friends?!
Lost my dad as a teen, hardly any other men in my family and Iâve been living by myself 5 years now with my own son now too. Really appreciate your videos youâre the next best thing to a diy guru Iâve got đ
Iâm only at 6 mins in the video & I canât help but thank you. You have the gift of teaching. You would be very successful opening up a trade school đ«. Thanks for your knowledge đ
OMG! You are the most professional painter I have ever seen. That, and I somehow spent 40 minutes watching a video about painting and wasn't bored.
Literally enjoyed info about watching paint dry...
Hes amazing. I tried his technique and it works.
@@SPrincessbeneficialknowledge Good to hear from a commenter that it works for someone that is trying it for the first time. Thanks for sharing.
LOL!!
I got bored, it was like watching paint dry..lol!
Never in my life did I expect to be watching paint drying on a Saturday night .. I just did.. Thanks .
Cheers Dan!
Tt
Corona baby!!!
Watching this on a Friday afternoon
This is my Saturday night now lol!
Hi jeff, can you do a tutorial on how to paint over texture walls? How to prepare it? How to prime it? Going from dark to light or light to dark?
"This is not about speed, this is about Perfection"!!! I love you for this!!
Been painting for 13 years and I learned a few new things by keeping an open mind. Thanks for posting this!
I complainEd about the 40 minutes. What??? 40 minutes? I am not watching a 40 minute video!! Then I sat here and watched the whole thing-mesmerized. đ” Youâre totally hypnotic and compelling âïžâïžâïž
Lol. SAME. I really enjoyed it. He was funny, informative and super detailed. I'm a hairstylist and I'm system oriented as well. I already subscribed.
Ditto
He is so fun to watch! Same here, I didn't plan on watching the whole video. I kept saying out loud "huh!" and "wow he's really good". Jam packed with useful tidbits. Not a wasted word. So then I subscribed.
I waitched the whole thing too. I didnt realize it was 40 min until I read this comment lmao. And I'm at 35 min
LOL same!
Really useful info here for those that have basic experience but want to go to the next level. And the little subtleties of technique that make things precise yet easier, are not always obvious- it takes a professional's insight to teach, and you do that well! I'll use these techniques on my next paint job. Thanks!
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
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
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.
Should I sand between coats with knockdown texture too? If not I should probably cancel the 360 sander I just ordered from Amazon ASAP
Good advice.
Why? What happens if you don't?
Why do we sand between coats ? I live in EU where ALL the walls are concrete.. tips ?
"It's not about speed it's about perfection" ! Wow.
my husband is a tile setter I wish people would understand that better. They expect him to go go go go FaST FAST. But he doesn't go fast. ... guess who has the best work at the end of the day...my hubby đȘđ„°
So true!
@MonkeyMentality no one asked
@MonkeyMentality i think he would last awhile, he is talking and explaining things.
Same thing when people ask me if I am cheap, or they want something fixed cheap on their car. I say find someone else, I am not cheap I am fural
Haste makes waste.
I say it again: I LOVE how picky you are about doing things right, the first time! đ
I can't believe this was actually 40 minutes. It felt like 10 with how dense and informative it was. I can't wait to paint my room now!
Watching you mix that sheetrock 45 was literally sooooo satisfying lol
Haha. I was totally going (out loud) "Oooh ahhhh, get it Bob Ross!"
Haha. I was totally going (out loud) "Oooh ahhhh, get it Bob Ross!"

There are more than 6K comments here but I just can't express how grateful I am for have found you. You are an artist and I can see that everything you do you do it with passion and a happy heart. I am planning to do many renovations at my house and you are going to be there with me helping me to do it Right. Thank you again Jeff, please keep doing what you do. God bless you!!
Please also look out for paint like a pro fine finish trade secrets - we are about to release a course from painting mansion homes.
This guy does a good job on somethings, like this video, but also does a terrible job on other things.
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 đȘ
OMG⊠tips Iâve never thought of. And I was taught by a professional! Thanks Jeff!
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!! :)
We all remember 'The Winery Build', it was a great project with a lot of different variables.. Well, we're revisiting to see how it turned out after completion! Tomorrow @ Noon PST, video is live.
I've been away for a while, getting things in order for Support The Youth, Inc., figuring out our path and talking with the names that will fund it. My goal? Travel around the United States and talk with kids about how they can find a successful career doing what we do! Have a school in mind, whether it be one you attend, or one you know of? Drop it here, or shoot me an e-mail at MattBangsWoodManagement@gmail.com - I think you guys will enjoy this!
What area are you flipping? And are you using cash? How much total is a flip costing you total. I don't even care what your profit is. I ask cuz flipping in my area is dead and I was thinking to switch to new area, MAYBE LOL
Was there a learning curve to become that good?
Thanks Jeff this was so informational that I too thought I knew how to paint but you taught me so much and with NO TAPE!
Thank you
Began day 1 of my bathroom repaint by drinking coffee and watching this video. Didn't tape a damn thing. Hell yeah!
if you don't know how to do something properly, learn how to do something properly, you accomplished that step.
Too many people aren't as independent as you
Wow that must be ugly
Same!
Tape is annoying
I absolutely love your videos much love and gratitude. I'm a residential painter in my first year and a strong passion for it, looking to start my own business within the next few years and you are helping me learn the little tips and tricks that go a long way. You are amazing my friend.
Jeff, I love watching your videos. I own A home remodeling business in Illinois since 2001. Iâve finished basements professionally for 16 years which allowed me the opportunity to have proficiency in multiple trades since my brother and I do 90% of the work ourselves. Your so thorough and explain the steps, reasons, and importantly what not to do. You are my go to video guy on home remodeling how-to.
I love the âpaint a pig comment you made, perfectly stated, âlolâ. My background in Painting was the trade that gave me the start in this business and itâs something I take a lot of pride in completing professionally. Your tile videos are how I discovered you and I feel like Iâm listening to a real person just explaining without trying to impress anyone on how to do something correctly.
Have a great day Jeff when you read this. Keep the vids coming:)

This guy is the Bob Ross of home renovation
Is it really
100% !! đ
After a bowl of cereal on Saturday morning Bob Ross' voice put me right back to nodding off to sleep though.
Totally agree on this one.
It's a happy mistake
Update, your technique for painting absolutely rocks!! I have had a tremor since birth and I just painted my crown molding and got nothing on the ceiling!! I'm converted!! Thank you so much!
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
Knowing how to paint at a professional level is a valuable skill. Iâm so glad I was an apprentice painter in the late 80âs and early 90âs. 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.
I wish my math teacher was this good at explaining concepts
Or any teacher for that matter
This comment is not about the painting. But you seem like a very nice and kind person. Seriously. I can tell that đ Good luck for everything man. Cheers.
so glad i found this video. learned so much to the true usefulness of that 5 in 1 to easily spot fixing holes in the wall with the 45... never getting premade again! My journey as being a general contractor is a long one and you have helped me tremendously.
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
Sir, you just changed my life. I now have confidence to paint my walls without shrugging my shoulders to my wife. Thank you!!
Glad to help
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.
when you use the right product you can work clean. Cheers!
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.
@@holysheet4958 shat ap ! This guy is obv a pro !
He's got paint on his trousers lol
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.
There was an abundance of informative tips that I wouldn't have even thought to mention in a painting tutorial, and this is coming from a painter of a decade plus!
That move with the salt in the warm water to get the durby to dry faster was actually pretty dope as well and I wanted to thank you for that time saver! Greatly appreciated brother!
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! Extremely helpful trick in my Arsenal so hope it helps you as well
Any tips on painting a wall that red ( as in blood red ) to off white ?? Heeeeelp
Brilliant!!!
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!?
If you think youâll enjoy it, it doesnât matter how old you are.
I got into it at 35, after 15 years in the bar business. My partner is almost 70. Weâve got more business than we know what to do with, we set our own prices and work our own hours, and havenât left behind an unhappy client yet, 5 years in. If you like making things rights and have an eye for detail, I recommend it
Age is just a number bro don't let it stop you
I knew you were Canadian- such a easy going chill personality! Was only going to watch first 5 minutes.... ended up watching the whole 40! You sir, are a gifted teacher! Thank you
I knew he was Canadian by his accent.
I realized he was Canadian cause he has a Tim's coffee in almost every video ,)
The fact he mentioned Ottawa and every time he said ou didnât give it away? đ
James same here. His personality enticed me to watch the whole video
Can't believe I've just thoroughly enjoyed 40 minutes watching you paint a wall!
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
Thank you so much!!! I realized I was missing my angle brush. Thank you for sharing your techniques, now Iâm ready to print my home!
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.
This was the most interesting painting video, and most helpful one as well. I cannot believe that I spent the whole 40 minutes of this video, worrying that the video would be too short for me to learn everything. You hit everything spot on, and left me wanting to watch more or your videos. Thank you so much for your help!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
Thank you Iâm a DIY and have been painting many projects. I decided just to paint the base boards, ceilings, and the walls white because it takes to long to tape. Your a great teacher thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Wow- I've been doing it all wrong! So glad I found you! The next room I paint will look so much better cuz of what I've learned from you! You're awesome! Thx
Tape the loose screws on their respective cover when you remove them. Thank you, I learnt a few new techniques today. The quality of the brush and the paint is crucial. đđ€.
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
So not scrape the brush in the can line Jeff did?
@@JudgeBigfoot 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?
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.
Thanks man! I was wondering about some of this as I have to finish painting tomorrow and have never rolled on paint before.
Thanks for your instructional videos. They are amazing and really enjoy the presentation and process. Keep up the good work and look forward to more. I just removed two non bearing walls and one baring wall requiring 2x12x10 header. Turned out great and what a difference with the open floor plan between the kitchen and lanai.
Completed my first successful diy paint job with no tape. This helped so much thank you!
As a Quality Control Manager and painter for over 30 years, I approve this man's video....all but one coat painting....Paint HAS come a long way, but I have yet to see a passable one coat job either in the field, or any contract project Ive been a part of. Ive only heard of others sucess doing one coat....like a unicorn in the woods or something. Always plan 2 coats. ALWAYS.
J B qqq
Unless it's a similiar color, such as a shade of white.
pikkuhakki2 Always....
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.
@@i.george2321 Tinted primer + paint = 2 coats. I am not a painter but I have painted a lot of walls. One coat of paint is indeed like unicorns, popular but it doesn't exist. Also, I have no idea why using paint like primer is such a popular concept. Use primer like primer and paint like paint. I have always gotten better results and it's cheaper.
Seriously, the Bob Ross of home repair. Love all your videos! Got the confidence to paint my first bedroom for my wife and I and for our first kiddo that's on the way. â€ïžđđ»
I was just saying the same thing about Bob Ross.

Just watched this video for some great tips. I have never really painted before but am going to do my kitchen. I feel more confident after watching your excellent video. Thank you
I found you this weekend because my husband is a copy of you it seems but not a good teacher so I wanted to learn too. You are amazing at teaching and my pet peeves are yours.
AMAZINGâŁïž
Forcing everyone that helps me paint my house this weekend to watch this first. Iâm not taking any chances đ
Good luck getting help
Doubt theyâd watch a vid this long đ

đ was thinking about the same thing..
Do it yourself
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 đ
You my dear sir are a gifted teacher.. Your chilled demeanor makes a 40 minute video seem like 10 minutes. I'm ready to tackle another project.
Simply stated,,,, YOU Rock!
Painted on face plates are one of my pet peeves as well, even more than that is when a landlord paints EVERYTHING with the same paint
Same here the previous owners painted EVERYTHING in the room including on top of the socket plates. Couldnât even connect anything because of the paint blocking the holes.. horrible
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 wasnât 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!
you can do this. Cheers!
I suddenly want to paint my whole apartment. Thanks for making painting look like fun.
Cheers Dani!
I wish this guy was my Dad! Lol! Iâve learned so much from him. He has an amazing personality and Iâll only follow what he says.
Me too bro
He is such a great guy! Brilliant at what he does and he's a *beautiful* man too. Gorgeous as well as talented.
@@johnconway8070 lmao you're in love with him
@@nateschmitz9827 I think I might be (and that is an under-statement, lol)
I always try to repair any issues with walls before painting but I can never get it to âperfectâ, and knowing where any blemishes are makes them stick out to me and drives me nuts, even though other people donât notice. I have hope now that I can get it closer to âperfectâ and canât wait to try all the tips youâve given! I really like the way you explain everything so thoroughly and you give the reasoning behind why you do things the way you do. You seem to be a very kind and patient person, and you are excellent in your method of teaching. Thank you so much!
I never painted before. After watching this video I got a lot of information. I loved your video so much. Thank you. This video was so helpful for me.
"Clean off your knife... cuz you don't want to be dragging dirt... through your mud"
Gold. Pure gold.
âYou donât wanna be dragging dirt through your mud.â has to be my favorite quote so far. lol
ha
was looking for this thanks XD
Jeff, I thank you SO MUCH!!
I have watched SO many of your videos, I love how many tips and hacks i find. Even the things I THOUGHT I knew go so much smoother thanks to your ability to explain and interest.
Wifey, on the other hand, could do without all my 'artsy diy ideas'. Atleast theyre done well!
Keep em coming!!
This man is a magician!!! I have never been so enthralled with a DIYer! What a teacher!!! I am a total convert!!!! Iâm still a bit scared, but ready to try!! Thank you so much for speaking to us as âpeersâ⊠with potential!!
Did I just watch a guy paint for 40 min? Actually learned a lot, thank you.
He's 0% bull hes a beast he's the man no joke Ive watched lots of people he is good very good
Lol, i can only imagine my face when he said that. It was so naughty, lmao
9:45 "...you don't wanna be draggin dirt through yer mud." Great quote if you hear it out of context.
we should put it on a shirt!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I'd buy it!! Lol
I love your channel. Thank u thank u itâs one of my fave channels for basic DIY home projects. As a woman with a hubby who is NOT permitted to touch a brush or roller (think light switch paint), I bow to thee lol
You are an ARTIST! I appreciate your way of understanding and sharing the ART of painting
Watched 3 times so far. This has raised my game considerably. As a tradesman (different trade) I so appreciate all the subtle pro tips.
Earlier tonight you literally saved my cookies on a laminate flooring project because, and who knew, that the instructions written by the company were total B.S. So, following your instructions, I got the hang of the click and lock method and a couple of hours later, the floor was pretty much installing itself! Tomorrow's project? Paint that same room! Thanks for BOTH videos! I am always humbled and awed to watch a pro in action.
Iâm in a demolition company and all the supervisors donât even do what you do you make my job a whole lot easier and I thank you for that I use to come home with my back hurting like crazy this is easier and I have a lot more energy thank you and keep it up you help so many people
Iâm so impressed with all painting tip given in this video! Thank you for your helpful tips!
Dammit! I started out watching how to install a dishwasher and three hours later I am learning you have to scoop out nail holes with a 5 in 1 tool. I am developing a love - hate relationship with your channel. đ
Watch the "how to build shed"
4 hours... Gone
Dont need the 5 in one tool for that, any drywall knife SHOULD have the metal ended knob, specifically for that reason. 5in1 tool just nice to have if you're a painter.
Me too, I can't get enough of his videos, but I do have to do other things. I'll be back for two more at a time.
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.
Half of this video is validation of the techniques I've picked up painting all of the rooms in all the houses we've owned, the other half is new awesome info that I wish I knew years ago! All of it is enjoyable to watch! Thanks man!
Cheers!
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.
Started watching with "I know how to paint" in my brain. There's a lot I didn't know! Legitimately excited to try painting from the inside if the brush. Many thanks for the useful, insightful video!
Same ahaha
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!
This is brilliant, thanks. Feeling a lot more confident now about painting the living room!
This guy just makes you so comfortable about painting a wall. He's very engaging too. Great video
"This is not about speed, it's about perfection"
Tell that to my bosses...
đ€Ł You Can't Rush Quality
Amen
A company I use to work for unofficial motto was, âit doesnât have to look good, it just has to look done.â Lol
Aboot*
Angel Hdz my boss always behind my ass
This was SO helpful. I love your witty, straight shootin' demeanor. So refreshing!
This was so educational and captivating. I'm studying before I get into my first owned home! Thank you!
Love the loading the brush technique. I always clean the wall after sanding.
I wish the âprofessionalâ I hired would have been this thorough! Having a lot of imperfections in the walls of our new home is why I hired a âprofessional.â 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 didnât do right. Thank you for this video!
You probably paid him a daily rate instead of a project rate
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.
Omggg! I love you. Single chic here and first time homeowner and it needs help! Lol. I suck at painting. I've learned so much today and since I have no money to pay a professional, I now feel mostly confident to attempt the job! â€
thank you jeff, your video is very helpful, i will follow your advice and start painting my house tomorrow. :) :)
OMG, I really learned a lot! I inherited my family home during Covid and I'm doing lots of DIYs myself using CZcams. I can now paint properly on my own and have the knowledge to know what my workers are doing for when I need to hire professional painters to do the rest of this huge home. Thank you for this great, informative video! Best one I've seen
âYou donât want to drag any dirt through your mudâ. I think the funniest stuff he says is completely unintentionalđ
Thank you for sharing your expertise. I am half way through painting a room and exhausted! Now I know why. I am a bit older now since painting my last house and feeling it! I am off to buy a stick and decent roller.
