    Do yourself a favor and go to your local “pro” store. They’re there for the paint! They’re factory trained unlike the big box people. I’m a Ben Moore and Wooster guy. The sherlock is a great pole, Wooster only make paint application tools. I have a 2 1/2 inch Wooster brush that has a couple hundred gallons through it and is the reason you buy once keep it clean and have it forever (almost). Ben Moore because their whole line has UV stabile pigments… color stays the same for years to come. Find the true pro store and ask questions…. Be open minded and gather a good education. Best of luck.

    As a painting contractor of over 20 years. The brush advise is not accurate. For trim you want a soft bristle brush. You'll get less brush lines with a soft bristle. I like to sand with 220, add latex extender to slow the dry and get nearly glass finish with a soft bristle brush. Stiff brushes are good for exterior or a textured wall. It will cut easier but leave a bit more brush marks, which aren't as big of a deal on texture or exterior surfaces.

    Hi Jeff! Love your videos! I am just butting in to say that Colossus rollers are 100% Polyamide Yarn which is a different material than Microfiber Rollers and has different properties. The Colossus is the highest quality Polyamide roller but Whizz makes a pretty good runner up called the Maximus which is half the cost at Lowe's in the states. In my opinion Polyamide Rollers are my favorite as they pick up and release the paint better than any other roller but they do have a tendency to leave hairs if you use them new out of the package. I always run mine dry over tape before their first use to pull off any stray hairs. Cheers from Ohio

    Agree with everything. Great advice! SW doesn’t sell Wooster, Home Depot does. The Wooster Sherlock GT is the absolute best roller pole on the market along with the green Wooster cage. The cage is $7.99 the 2x4 pole is $24.99. I’ve gone through a dozen various sizes of these in my career and in the professional paint world it is the only pole respectable. If I get a new guy on the crew and they show up w a purdy pole, I know right away they are not going to be a good painter lol

    Some of your comments inspired me to clean rollers more easily: buy a crappy $2 cage, saw off the axis of the cage, put the axis in a powered drill, put the roller in a bucket of water, start the drill slowly, change the water a few times then take it out (preferably outside) and turn up the speed to dry it.

    The Sherlock stick and the Sherlock roller frame are worth the extra money. The stick is light and doesn’t bend like regular poles and the roller cage locks the roller covers in so they don’t slide off while you’re painting.

The instructions and trouble-shooting are in an insiders-only language and make me want to give up. I don't know if you have Harbor Freight by you (and I assume I know your opinion on them), but I think they have some gems. But have not found them in the painting space.

    I'm a pro custom painter and I never use a 9" roller. I use an 18 rig for everything and use the wooster jumbo jet cage frame mini roller or a brush for the tight areas. And I don't clean the rollers unless I'm changing colors. I will keep them wrapped up in plastic between uses. And instead of using tape to pull off the loose fuzz on a new roller nap, I will just roll the first coat on then lightly sand the walls with a pole sander. It's needs to be hit with a light sanding before the last coat anyway to get rid of any dirt or hair or fuzz that either gets in the paint while rolling or lands on the walls when it's wet. I never us a cheap brush. I have a brush of each size and keep them wrapped in Kroger bags between uses until color change. Get either wooster or purdy brand. Sherwin Williams Contractor brushes are okay too though. Also, I always box and strain all paint new or used. Boxing the paint is what we do to eliminate any slight possible difference in color or sheen between gallons because if you are painting out of more than one can or bucket then there will likely be differences.

    Check out “Corner Plus” rollers. They have microfiber on one END of the cage, so it paints corners. If you’re doing walls you only need to cut in the ceiling and around trim. If you’re doing ceiling first and then doing the walls, you don’t need to cut in the ceiling at all. Game CHANGER.

    Gonna say Jeff, I know you are a big fan of Dulux and Sherwin Williams, but I would really suggest you check out Cloverdale Paints (There is a location just outside of Ottawa). They aren't as well known or marketed as the others but their paint quality is amazing (for eg, their drywall primer has twice the solids as any others on the market for the same price). Me wanting to match what my builder used is what sent me there first, but I would always go back going forth. Their paint supplies are also competitively priced and are the same brands as the other paint stores. I got 7 gallons of primer, 5 gallons of 100% acrylic paint, plus all the tools and accessories for less than $450 as a contractor price

    The only thing I do differently in regards to your methods is the brushes. Soft bristle brushes are better for trim work bc the lay the paint down smoother with less brush marks. Stiff bristle brushes are better for cutting in around your trim bc you can draw crisper lines and brush strokes aren’t as big a deal bc of textured walls and ceilings. Soft bristles = trim Stiff bristles = walls and ceilings. Obviously it is a preference at the end of the day, do what makes you comfortable and what works for you that’s the best advice I can give.

    Hello, I have learned a lot about various topics related to remodeling over the past few years, plus deck and shed building from your wealth of videos.. I did enjoy this video, though my views differ somewhat. Purdy used to a top notch brush maker, but over the past 20 years, their quality has suffered; they are now owned, as you may know, by Sherwin Williams. I own Purdy, Wooster, Corona, and some SW private label brushes. My faves are my Corona, Wooster, and 40 year old Purdy brushes. I first learned to paint way back before micro-fibre roller covers were available. I learned to remove lint w/masking tape, which removes the cover's lint. I have mainly used ACE and Purdy roller covers with no issues. One tool you didn't mention, is a brush/roller cover spinner. When I first started out on my own, I only had a few brushes, and a spinner has allowed me to change paint types/colors quickly with brushes and roller covers. I am all in on the large plastic paint tray, unless I am using a 5 gallon bucket and bucket. Also worth a mention, is, to keep quality brushed stored within their covers. If a cover is worn out, most paint stores will provide a new one at no charge. Thanks for another informative video! A viewer from Oklahoma, USA.

Patience and practice goes a long way. The store owner of that ACE had worked for the local paint store over ten years, and I learned a lot from him, but some folks are slow to learn the craft.

    I've been painting for a long time. I used to do murals and back then I had to prepare the walls and do at least one coat of paint. As I got older I stopped painting for others and just painted my own walls. Recently, I started a painting job where my boss was still spackling the same walls he wanted me to paint. He insisted that I paint around his wet unprimed spackling and yelled at me for going too slow. I tried to work around him, but I was wasting my time painting small sections at a time because the wet spackle was random across walls and ceiling. I walked off that job and left my good Purdy brush behind. I loved that brush but my sanity was worth more.

    Great video about paint equipment. The Wooster cage is the best, it keeps on roller in place. But I have to say it’s not eternal; two weeks ago one (of three) that I had just broke. But that’s ok, you pay for quality in the beginning. The 5 in 1 tool is essential, the point can also be used as a screwdriver. The sturdiness of the tool can magically cut off heads of plastic hankers if you give it a good swing! The sanding disk I only started to use recently, it’s great! Better that a rectangular sander that can leave holes if it’s turn over when using it. P.S. : I often have to do repair on ceilings. The only thing I can’t do is those textures that you can often see. It seems the way to do those is a well kept secret; I can’t find any videos on how to make those textures. I hope you’ll do a video on the subject one day.

    Yeah, it's a rerun but to be fair just how many different videos on the same subject can one make before it just gets repetitive. My only complaint is his new videos are over edited! If you notice there isnt even a split second where he's not talking. While this is considered normal for networks to do because every second means money. It's not necessary for a you tube video. It's just irritating to watch. It makes the viewer want to scream, "breath" lol! Anyways I've noticed his older videos are so much better to watch. He doesn't appear to be in such a hurry like he's just trying to get it done as fast as he can so he can play golf or something. I don't know it's just weird 😊

    What roller cover nap should I use for a regular interior drywall? In a previous video of yours, “how to paint a room for beginners” you show an 18 mm nap roller. When I went to Home Depot they said that is way too much and I should use a 10 mm.

    It's just a preference thing. Pros use 14-18" to cover more surface area and get jobs done faster. 9" is sufficient and more manageable for DIYers.

    Hey your take on premier, corona, picasso and e & j brushes ? The cars are called KIA a customer had 9ne it fell apart the interior door rod broke made of plastic. I had black and decker drills biught 3vin a year changed to craftsman last 2 years bought DeWalt now 30 years old friend talked to me switching to Milwaukee own lot of m18 tools plus bosch router with fence 400 for it is adjustable in speed and more. Okay buy hart tools a friend bought one for in the garage drilllled one and done. As ge rrilled it stopped he decided to take it apart to see why, has plastic gears. Buy cheap thats what you get. Lije optics and audio equipment. Same for tools and painting. Listen to him or hire a pro.

    I was in the painting business for 50 year and thought I'd give my 2 cents worth. I personally wouldn't take much of his advice except a sturdy roller frame is well worth it. The cheap ones will bend out of shape with normal rolling and soon come apart. An adjustable pole is very useful but I would hate to use one like his that you have to press something to release it and then choose between holes to adjust it to. With mine, a Purdy that I've had for 40 years, I just twist and adjust to any length, then twist to lock in. They no longer make them but I saw a similar design in Sherwin Williams not too long ago. The problem with it was that it squeaked. If you could stop the squeak it would be ideal. As far as the advice on the strainer, save your money. The only thing that will go through that kind of strainer is very thin paint like automotive paint. For any kind of house paint it would be useless. Buy a real one gallon strainer and plan to wash it for reuse. Just don't let it dry out. The 5inone tool is useful. Any roller cover that is shed-resistant will probably be suitable, not matter how inexpensive it is.

    How about a show on tips and tricks in home renovation for women or people who may limited capabilities? For example this painting products video… the large roller with paint is too heavy so I use the small roller. The bigger paint tray is a hazard because it is too heavy so I use the plastic liners because it is light and easier to manage. Paint brushes are made for men’s hands and are too big and my hands cramp so I use the rectangle guide with pads because it is light weight small and easy to use. I do a bit of renovation and have learned so much from your videos!!!! Thank you 😊 but, I get so frustrated because everything is made for people with upper body strength and strong big hands. 😕 and not ergonomically correct for women. So I have to modify most things. Work smarter, not harder 😉

    1,000% learn how to paint well. When you 1) keep a wet edge 2) can paint without becoming exhausted 3) keep not being painted stuff clean (rugs, sofasb shrubs, etc) you can improve the look of anything and it's the most common and inexpensive refresh you can do. My tips: Cheap paint takes more paint to cover even so it becomes more expensive and difficult to use. It's something that's easy to become an expert on AND easy to mess up. Painting windows shut and painting outlet covers to the wall will destroy all the value in a job. Take the time to do it well and you will love how it comes out. I'm a little bit less scornful of inexpensive brushes and rollers . The homedepo junk is fine if you use it as a disposable/consumable. Realistic expectations: the "good" basic one will never work and even the home depo "best" wont last over and over but you have just one room it's fine. I can get a gallon of quality paint to cover in 1 coat what 3 gallons of cheap paint cover with 2 coats. Dap wall putty and paintable caulk make some really bad walls and cracks look prefect. Paint is 90% planning and prepping and 10% painting. Move stuff, cover stuff, clean and prep the walls, plan where you're going to pant and walk it out in advance. Have everything ready and set up and the very last step is to actually paint. Plan accordingly. Realistic timeline Friday night you get paint and supplies. Saturday morning you clean and prep the room/move everything remove the outlet covers fix any wall problems touch up the cracks cover the floors get supplies: and ladder, brushes, drop cloths, and stuff ready. Next go eat lunch then paint. The paint step takes less time than lunch. Then put everything back and clean, that step takes more time than lunch. Don't think you're going to do it all in the few hours after working a full day-you won't be happy! Do make plans for Saturday night you can be done with time to shower and meet with friends for BBQ!

    I am a self employed finish carpenter, as apart of my services is interior painting. I used purdy brushes, their riller well, is seems low quality, it wobbles slightly leaves ridges to reroll as it does, it squeaks. I biught wooster as the purdy pole is fiberglass, wobbles, heavy, , tge Sherlock pole is aluminum, very little if any wobble, has quick attach and the roller does loosen as screw on will. That e Wooster roller is wobnle free roll on then roll some more, none of the reroll8ng. The wooster turn it on its side tap it firmly not hard the nap falls off. Like my tools get contractor grade feel more professional like backyard ball verses on the field, will last you until your covered with dirt I use foam sponge brush for stain a cheap one drips floods the area sheds the jenn o last linger yet few cents more. My cousin built his house i was ausked to provide stainig class the family from both sides attended. Even his father in law that builds homes built his learned a few tricks.

    I have not heard anyone mention the time it takes to clean a paint roller. Personally, I have never had much luck cleaning them. If someone would show me how to clean a paint roller in a decent amount of time, I would start purchasing a better one. Now I use HD rollers and at the end of the day, it is trashed. I value my time and if it takes me between 1/2 and 1 hour to clean a roller that is not worth it to me so, it is going in the trash. I do purchase better roller frames because I agree with what you say about the cheaper ones. That is a different story when it comes to my paintbrushes. I purchase good ones and no one uses my paintbrushes or spray gun. I use them I clean them and they last for years. I use cheaper roller pans with liners they last through a job and then get put in the garbage. Cleaning them up is time-consuming. Time is money to me. Good paintbrushes save a lot of painting time and I spend the money to buy them and no one else using them. It takes a little time to clean them but I have that down and it is 1/4 or less to clean a brush. I'm not a professional painter. see.

    First, you clean off the excess paint with the 5in1 curved side. Next you throw it in a bucket of water and let it sit for at least an hour, most pros will throw it in the bucket at the end of the day and let it sit overnight. Next you you pull it out of the water and put it on a Brush and Roller Spinner (every pro painter has one of these), and spin out the water in an empty 5 gallon bucket. Rinse it with clean water and spin it a couple of more times. Let dry or use right away. Whole process takes 10 mins. My homeowner's way, in my kitchen I have an extra sink. I fill it enough to let the roller cover soak, let it soak a couple of hours. Next I drain the sink, rinse the roller, let it stand up against the corner to drain. Next time I walk by, 10 mins, an hour, whenever, I rinse it again and let it drain. I do this until the water runs clean, and then let it dry. The reason for cleaning a high quality roller cover and re-using it is that the lint will be removed and will not end up on the wall!
