Understand Key Painting Considerations

I get quite a few comments and questions about whether we paint walls, ceilings, or trim first. And in this video, we're going to go about addressing some of those issues and trying to answer those questions for you. And there's a lot of different scenarios that determine whether we paint the ceilings, walls, or trim first and whether we spray or roll them. And we're in a house right now that was a house that's a fire restoration house. that had a had a fire in the pantry and the customers have actually moved out and they're in a hotel. So, there's no customers living in this home. And that's the first thing that we do and then determine whether we're going to spray inside of a house and what we're going to do first. If the customers live in the home, we try to minimize the spraying that we're going to do inside of a house because of the silica dust created by the sprayers. And if we're ever dealing with trim inside of a home and we're going to actually paint the trim and the woodwork and it's painted any doors, we always spray the trim on an interior of a home. We only spray it because that way it's going to look more professional. It's not going to leave brush strokes or roping. And so here at BNK Painting, we never actually brush trim. We always spray it. So whether the customer lives in the the home or not, we always spray. In this case, the customer is not living in here. Everything's actually been moved out into storage facilities by a disaster maintenance company. And so, there's nothing inside the home that we need to worry about dust, too. If there's personal belongings inside the house, if there's beds, furniture, stuff like that, you always got to consider the silica dust created by the spraying of either your walls, ceilings, or trim. And you got to protect those items. And sometimes that can be more cumbersome than actually just rolling. But this is going to be a full interior repaint. Nobody's living in it and there's no belongings in the house. So, we're going to try to spray as much as we can to make the job go a lot faster. And in this job, there was multiple colors in the house and that's another determining factor whether you're going to roll or spray the walls. All the ceilings are a different color than the walls. So, we got to take that in consideration, too.
