What happens here

After power washing, use a broom to sweep off any remaining debris or loose particles from the now clean and dry metal roof. Following this, mask off any adjacent walls, windows, or other areas that should not be painted using masking paper and tape. The presenter notes the roof has been power-washed and allowed to dry for about two hours, indicating it is ready for priming.

Goal: Ensure a clean and masked surface for painting

Tools and materials

  • Broom — Sweeping away loose dirt and debris from the roof
  • Masking Paper — Protecting adjacent walls and windows from paint overspray
  • Masking Tape — Securing masking paper firmly in place

This is Chris the Idaho Painter. We're going to start priming the roof behind me now. We're masking it off and we got it powerwashed about 2 hours ago. It's all dry, ready to be primed.
