Manhattan Remodel & Cape Cod Affordable Project

Discussing Interior Painting Techniques Video

Bob is joined by Joann Borges of CertaPro Painters, who goes over techniques and selected paints for covering new walls and trim efficiently and evenly. They begin with the paint sprayer that is typically used throughout a new production home. The sprayer begins with the ceilings and works down the walls, staying ten to twelve inches away from the surface to give an even coat. Sprayers cover all surfaces, including doors, closets, and trim to finish a room quickly. Speed and efficiency keep the cost down. High-quality, long-lasting paints mean that homeowners will wait longer to repaint and get more value from their investment. CertaPro is using Sherwin Williams' Duration Home throughout the interiors of these affordable homes. Duration Home is a latex paint that is enhanced with acrylic polymers to give durability and washability in a flat or non-glossy paint. Borges also shows how the painters use rollers to cover walls quickly, cutting in with a 2½-inch angled brush before rolling with an 18-inch roller to speed up the process.
