When I'm doing work on my house, like getting my ceilings and walls absolutely perfect, there's a little voice inside guiding me. I discovered that voice was Jeff.
Agreed lol
I literally had his voice in my head doing walls and painting
It'd be cooler if it was like Morgan Freemans voice.
I have tackled a drywall project myself on a building I bought , did a whole apartment, you have taught me so much with your videos. Thanks you so much.
4:50 sanding drywall hole patches
5:50 how to deal with dust on walls
👉👉👉6:30 WHOLE PROCESS SUMMARY
6:45 add thin layer of primer over patches
7:00 sand whole wall
8:00 add 2nd layer of primer over patches to avoid flashing
9:25 NO TAPE CUT IN with paint color
11:00 paint brush light strokes on patches then use mini roller to go over patches again
15:15 cut in and then roll one wall at a time while its still wet
thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone. I am 6 months into starting my remodeling company on my own. I have alot of experience in many different trades and i know i dont know everything. So it helps to watch your videos and pick up little tricks and tips here and there, or even a different way of doing things. I am always learning and looking for people who are as generous as you are when it comes to mentoring. Keep up the good work!
I've been binge-watching your videos and my main question was regarding cleaning the sanding dust off the wall. Finally have an answer after this video!
just dont exagerate, his tip is nice but if u have too much dust on the wall, its gona be messy
There's so much good information about various subjects in every video! I came to this video to find out some tips about painting smooth walls, but also learned about installing trim and flooring in an old house - which is then next item on my To Do list. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the tips and the demonstration! I bought my first house back in March, a 50s rambler that was smoked in for years. Pulling everything (wallpaper on wallpaper) and priming every single surface with Zinsser BIN. May as well do it right with all your tips!! Thanks again!
I never realized you were supposed to sand in between primer coats. Good to know!
Me neither! I’m using a primer/topcoat in 1, would the dust cause problems when I’m doing my 2nd and final coat?
Yes it really makes a difference. So smooth and just takes a few minutes
I vaccume the walls after I do my initial heavy sanding. Then I prime and seal everything come back and do the prime check re sand everything then finish the job. Don't leave dust on the wall its a shitty way of doing stuff.
What sandpaper grit should I use for sanding the primed walls?
Thank you so much for sharing these educating videos. I was in the process of painting my parents bathroom which had not been touched in 25 years. Unfortunately, they decided to use mobile home wall covering when they built back in 1975 and as a change. The walls were Kiltz with out even cleaning more less preping for texture or loose spots in the vinyl. Which over the years cracked and pealed one , two and in some spots several layers of the wood down to the gypsum. Watching Your videos made it possible for me to complete the project with an almost flawless flush painted surface. My parents are so pleased. I will carry your simple easy to understand and follow knowledge with me for future projects and will share your link for reference on other DYI projects. Thanks Again, Karen Wilson
A little trick I've learn to show drywall mistakes. I use an LED flashlight, hold it flush against the wall, so the beam is parallel to the wall. You may need to close the blinds. That will show EVERY single defect in the wall. From the wave of the wall, down to a hair that got stuck in the paint. No need to do a first coat, and wait for the sun to be just right.
Also the perfect way for you start questioning your life's choices 😅
@@Soliber why is that?
@@EmptyPsychosis you see all the mistakes you’ve made and start to think you should just start over 😄
@@Soliber fair enough. This method actually saved me from buying a house that would have financially ruined me. It was about 100 years old and next to a lake. The previous owner did a lot of upgrades to make it look really nice. I noticed some discoloration on the brick around the fireplace, and I thought "well, it's a hundred years old, it's probably had a flood before in that time. No big deal." Then I put my light to the wall and aimed down. I saw a horizontal line 3' high in the drywall going around every wall. Which is standard replacement procedure for flood damage. Seeing that, combined with the fact everything else looked recently replaced, I talked to the neighbors and found out that it floods at least once a year there.
Hey Jeff I’ve watched videos of pro painters and drywall pros and they’ve suggested to dry mop the wall and ceiling after sanding and before priming. thanks for all that you do.
If Jeff says you don't have to do it, then it's just wasting time and time is money
@@naughtyorgneiss Jeff is wrong all of the damn time!!!!!!!!!!!!! As a professional I always mop the dust off of the walls. And I NEVER sand between coats of paint???????
So you do one coat of a good primer, than two coats of paint. Painting our new house. Your videos have helped so much.
Thank you for your videos, My question about sanding the drywall and then wiping it down prior to primer was answered in this video. Thanks again great work.
5:45 - Exactly “the answer is NO.”
What if you’re not priming?
I always end up eating my compound because it looks like frosting and I never finish my project
You ARE the Boss Ross of Home Renovation. Love your Channel.
👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much 😊
Jeff, I love your videos! I would really like to see a video from you on how to do different drywall textures. I don't seem to find really any good videos on that.
I went to UA-cam to figure best way to remove drywall dust before painting. But here I learn I can leave the dust and it only makes the final results better. It seems to me that he brushes the areas with the dust on the wall (light brushing over the patches). Helpful video.
Boy can I relate. From the beginning to the end LOL I rented out my house for years and boy do people like to mess up walls. With a light coming in I missed so much in my living room but there's no way I'm going back but in the bedroom it's going to be perfect LOL
Too nice Jeff, doing all that work just for a visual. I plan interior spaces in 3d and near enough photo real renders. That way it can be fully visualised in advance. It also helps that my girlfriend gets no say what colours go on the walls 😅
There is a method that works for everyone. I have never worked off a 3d rendered picture.
Nothing feels more satisfying then sanding down a skim coat
That wall looks perfectly smooth. How does the process get modified for textured walls say with a knock down texture?
I am doing my basement and your videos are what I needed for success. Thanks so much
i do high end auto body paint work. so a lot of this stuff is similar but in a different aspects. (helps i was a contractor assistant when i was a teenager for a few years) just being familiar with materials goes a long way. i have to be extremely picky as far as prep work. usually im only dealing with a small area with little room for imperfection... but, what im getting at as you where saying you need to look over very large spaces. as far as i know being picky is important but you need to get the job done. everyone has to find their happy medium. love your vids man keep it up! Im moving into a fixer upper and nothing wrong with a refresh or learning something new while your at it, appreciate what you do!
Thanks for this, you are literally releasing videos as I'm in need of the knowledge. Thanks again for your advice and knowledge.
I'm glad I'm not alone; I am just like you Lol... My friend say I'm too perfectionist but I love my life! 😉
When you're talking about priming, are you talking about just painting more than one coat, or do you mean a colored primer?
Maybe I missed it but why did you only prime small patches of the wall instead of the whole thing before painting?
Jeff what grits of sandpaper should we use ?
250 mid range and then down to like 150/100 for finer sanding. But 250 is good enough for most places.
I got this instead of the premixed. It seems to be working pretty well thanks.
This guy is like the Leonardo da Vinci of painting homes!
So you are saying that I really don't have to use TSP or wash and clean up most of that drywall dust that ison the walls before priming?
Can you go over fixing bad tape and mud jobs from past owners? Like when they start peeling off the walls or cracking
I 2nd this question!
He has a video on repairing damaged sheetrock. He covers everything, brown paper showing, holes, sheetrock with big gaps between. It’s like the sheetrock wall of shame and he makes it perfect. Go to the sheetrock (drywall) playlist.
Hey Jeff, any chance you could post the name of that paint color?
I love to use flowtrol to help
I do all of my paint 1st then we lay the flooring in then we do the trim Plus it is so much easier for me to do it that way because I don’t like to lay down any thing
So, the way I'm understanding this is that between episodes 4 & 5 (off camera) you put the first coat of paint on? Or no.
Outstanding info and tips TY!
Cheers B Jones!
If you find you have flashing after 2 coats, would you redo everything? Sand, prime and re-paint the the entire wall?
Only if it bothers you.
👀 damnit Jeff I need to see the finished product so I can start mine.
Part 6 next...stay tuned. Cheers, Jeff
6?!? 🤣
Do you need to add joint compound to the entire drywall or just where the drywall connects to other pieces and/or where there are spots you are fixing on the wall?
Just where it connects or for patchwork. A good primer directly on the drywall is fine for the other areas
Jeff is like the Bob Ross of Drywall!
1/2 inch drywall over osb..installed..I did not consider outlet depth doors, windows,etc...suggestions. you get where I'm coming from. Thanks
Which sandpaper grit do you use between coats?
Sir, you are a hero, and I am thankful for your channel's existence in guiding my home project.
I'm a professional painter so there are definitely things I disagree with but solid advice in general
Do you worry about removing dust when sanding in between coats of paint?
Hey Jeff, I decided to finish my basement myself. So it's not the most cleanest and smoothest of walls to say the least. Do you have any suggestions to a thick primer or anything to help me hide or blend in my blemishes?
Jeff how does a DIYer fix or upgrade or just smooth out 70s, textured drywall and popcorn ceiling? Thank you for all these videos. Even though your codes are different that ours down here it's still invaluable information.
WOOOOOOOO!! Awesome tips Jeff!!
Ohhhh Yeah!!!! Birdman back in the chat!
Three things:
Your patience while working and teaching simultaneously is remarkable although I would like to see some of your bloopers.
The tools you reveal were beautifully demonstrated.
Tips and Tricks saved me not only time but frustration as well.
Thank You,

So I'm a little confused, is that paint on the walls now or primer? And are you saying that you sand the walls down with the primer on it before you start with the final coats of paint? Or do you sand between coat one and coat two of the paint?
Sand everything and inbetween every coat you do. Remember one thing, paint plus sand in every application you ever do. Just use 220 grit so you don't damage it and lightly rust it out.
Do you remove the dust from the walls after sanding? I’ve seen numerous videos that say it’s 100% necessary to guarantee the primer will stick.
Every time I’m doing home renovionts i ask myself “WWJD”... thanks Jeff
only a year later, yes, JT is the renovation savant aka renoviont, lol. love the WWJD... thanks
Favorite primer for drywall AND plaster? (Thanks!)
So I'm painting a dark green basement with LOTS of imperfections in the drywall. The method I went with was: 1)mudded imperfections 2)sanded entire wall including patches, 3) primed walls completely,4) lightly sanded primed walls, and 5) finally wall paint (2 coats). Am I doing too much? Do I need to sand after priming?
You sand after priming. You sand inbetween your coats of paint until your final one is on. All 220 grit light rusty sanding your doing the correct steps. Use hotset mud for your patches. Doesnt shrink and is a better product then all purpose. Also doesnt technically need to be primed but always good practice too prime anyways.
Jeff, will 90-minute compound also not show through? Thank you!
Hi! Just wanted to check to make sure I'm doing the steps correctly
1. Three coats of Mud
2. One coat of Primer
3. Paint one coat of the color
4. Then prime check?
Also, what primer do you recommend?
Good question. I was not sure about the order either. Wish Jeff would have clarified.
Wait….so, you’re putting primer on, and sanding the primer, between each coat of primer? Am I understanding that right?
TONS of great tips in this 6 Part Drywall series!
I apologize if this is a really "newbie" type of question but, Which grit # sanding disc would you suggest using for the radial sander when sanding between coats of paint?
180, cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY which company invented the drywall sanding machine?
best way you say HIRE IT OUT
So I should save all my dust from sanding and add it all to my paint. Gotcha!
At 6:10 he talks about not sanding then priming the wall then fixing imperfections. Great. Then he says now it’s time to prime. I’m confused. He said prime in two different phases. Is he meaning a SECOND prime coat?
What grit was used when sanding walls
Jeff! Another great video. I do think you forgot to put the link for your specialty tools video. :) I hunted but didn't see it.
The link to my Amazon page is in the description. You will see Drywall Tools You Need listed there. Cheers, Jeff

I find hot mud flashes even with 2 coats of paint. It should be primed before painting to avoid flashing in my opinion.
Do you use an oil based primer?
good video i recommend it to friends
Is it just a regional thing to have textured finished walls? I’ve watched this series and the series from awhile back and neither textures before paint.. thanks for any feedback!
what if you're going with 1 coat paint and primer in one? like Behr Marquee, can we get away with fine sanding the patched up areas and then just doing 1 coat of paint?
Why is the trim installed before the second coat of paint?
I want to install about 2 ft of drywall (previously removed due to a flooding and mold) to the existing wall that’s painted surface. Please let me know how to do that… especially kidding and taping.., would it stick to the painted surface on joints with existing wall
Thanks for your videos and I became a member today.
After applying PVA primer and doing more repair on finishing, I would like to know if I have to do priming again after the touch-ups with join compound or 45 Easy sanding.
yes! all patch work need to be sealed with a primer before painting. Cheers!
Wait I'm confused. After you mud and taped the drywall. Did you put a prime coat on and then a the 1st coat of paint THEN go for touchups and patch work? Can you elaborate on why you prefer brush and roller over a sprayer, not those cheap crappy sprayers but a professional sprayer.
Yes, primed first and did a check with the light, put on the first coat for wife approval and found more imperfections that were highlighted by the colour when the sun was shining in th room. As someone who paints with a gun for automotive purposes, yes I can see the appeal but aerosolized particles travel everywhere, would need to plastic wrap a couple feet around the perimeter of your ceiling when doing the edges
I don't spray becasue I am trying to teach a system that anyone can use. spraying is an art form and it takes too much experience to get good at it for folks who are renting tools.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY hey thanks for replying! Keep em coming!
I never knew other people use a light (a flashlight is my go to) to see completely the status of ones work.
This dude is the Bob Ross of construction
What grit sandpaper would you recommend for sanding walls before you paint?
I'm wondering what grit he uses, too...
You use your regular grit. Probably 180 if your sanding mud. If your doing your rusty sanding then I use 220 as it just scuffs it up so it increases adhesion and takes any small stuff out. Same grit for inbetween paint/primer
You are just amazing man! thank you for such great guidance on everything!
My pleasure!
After priming and one coat of paint I have flashing spots. Can I prime the whole wall and paint again?
I've been going through that with this house with noticing all the different issues.
What sandpaper grit should I use for sanding the primed walls?
Hi, we're prepping to pain the walls in this house we just bought with horrible rough paint on the walls. What do you think of using an electric orbital sander rather than the radial sander you have been using? Could I get away with this electric orbital sander in between coats too? or will it be disaster waiting to happen and take out fresh paint.
(thanks! I've been watching your videos a lot for our RnD - research and destroy)
Minor source of confusion: So, at 7:55 when he says "You're not looking to put a lot of 'paint' on the wall."... he's still applying "primer" but referring to it as "paint" because primer, technically, is still "paint", right?
After applying primer I realized that i need to use compound joint again to smooth out the surface. Can i use compound joint over the primer?
Hmmmmm, before you put your first layer of paint on your wall which has already been painted, what do you do? Do you sand it and then add the first layer of paint?
quick question: i want to repaint our basement and the walls are painted concrete. the paint is old and falling off and i want to paint the walls. question (1) what is the best orbital sander to remove the old paint and what grit is best for removing paint from painted concrete walls??? question (2) do i have to scrape all of the old paint off the wall or do i have to just sand /scrape the old bubbly paint that are falling off and paint a fresh coat on top the old paint which are still intact??? question (3) after sanding/scraping off the old paint, do we need to wipe down the walls for dust with a damp towel before painting??? (4) last question: how many coatings of paint do i need to do to prevent(best brand of paint???)the concrete wall paint to bubble/fall off???
I just can't get rid of flashing. is it something I have to except.
I'm sanding and spackling a painted room now. Do you suggest wiping down the blue paint before primer or no?
7:50 Your Bob Ross moment!
What is the maximum time i can leave between priming and painting? Can we leave a week?
Question: can a 90 min mud be used just as easily for this kind of touch ups? Some of the other vids specifically mentioned 45 min mud as well. Thx!
Love the vids, I've picked up so much over the past couple months since I first caught one of your vids!
Yes, 90 is good too
I had a contractor leave an inch of mud on my wall with hills and valleys for days. How do I go about sanding it down?
Love your work and video
Just want to be clear..........do you sand the primer coat too or just between the 2 finish paint coats?
Nice work
Cheers!
what is the grade of sandpaper to use for primer sanding? and what is do if there are many paints drops on the ceiling. thanks
I'm wondering if you dry mop after tape and mud, wouldn't you then just prime and paint without needing to sand after primer? By skipping the mopping you need to sand bc of the rough surface?
where do i get that sander from geez
If I have painted my wall and I see flashing, how do I fix it? Do I need to resand, then prime the whole wall, then repaint?
how do you pick your paint? what do you think of paint and primer in one?
Every time you pull out a sanding block now first think I think is beveled edge lol. Sanding blo...BEVELED EDGE my mind screams
