Jobsite Sequencing: INTERIORS - What to Paint First?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

For painting walls, the presenters elaborate on the best application method by considering the wall texture. They specifically discuss homes with textured walls, such as 'orange peel' or 'knockdown' textures. For these types of surfaces, they strongly advise rolling the paint instead of spraying. Rolling is preferred because it helps to fill in the texture and provide a more consistent, integrated finish that spraying may not achieve, unless the goal is a perfectly smooth 'level 5' drywall finish, which is not the case in this scenario.

Goal: Choose between rolling or spraying for walls, prioritizing a better finish on textured surfaces.

the walls we typically always roll the walls we feel like you can get a lot better finish rolling the walls but with that in mind these walls right here this is an orange peel texture and some of this house is a knockdown texture so it's a heavy textured wall it's not a level-five finish so if you're dealing with a level-five finish that would be in a whole nother scenario because you may be spraying your walls and not rolling them but we're dealing with textures walls and on textured walls the rolled on finished always looks a lot better and then we do roll our ceilings but we'll spray them occasionally yeah so
