Jobsite Sequencing: INTERIORS - What to Paint First?
What happens here
The decision for painting ceilings involves weighing the benefits and drawbacks of spraying versus rolling. Spraying ceilings is generally faster, but it produces a significantly higher amount of paint dust and overspray (approximately twice as much as spraying trim). This necessitates extensive and meticulous masking. Conversely, rolling ceilings, while potentially slower, drastically reduces airborne paint particles and allows for greater involvement of the entire painting crew, including less experienced members, as it requires less specialized skill than spraying. The final choice depends on the project's specific constraints regarding dust control and labor allocation.
Goal: Weigh the pros and cons of spraying versus rolling ceilings to decide on the best approach for the project.
