What happens here
Chris demonstrates the technique of back-rolling the corner boards and the lower 6-12 inches of the house siding. He explains that these areas receive the most weather damage from water runoff and splashing rain, making an initial hand-applied coat essential for extra protection. He works ahead of the sprayer, about 15 minutes in advance, so his rolled paint is almost dry by the time the sprayer reaches it.
Goal: Provide enhanced protection to high-wear areas of the house exterior.
