I’m taking the plunge in painting my house… first time attempting(😵)!! I’ve watched several of your videos already and you have helped in giving me some great tips… and building my even of confidence. I wanted to thank you and your staff for providing the great videos that will eventually get me across the finish line!!
I've done my share of DIY painting and I wish I had gotten your tips back when I did my whole house. The tips, techniques and recommendations you provide are greatly appreciated. Your videos are well done too. I also appreciate your gospel references that pop up from time to time. Please keep up the good work.
I've been painting for 15 years, I'm definitely familiar with the tools minus the last one, I manually brown paper baseboards or windows and have to tape them so thanks for showing me that tool, will be on the lookout for it!
Just a simple, long-time DIYer here. I do have some good dropcloths, but a simple non-leaking solution I've also used is an old shower curtain (which typically come available when you repaint a bathroom!). Additional tool suggestions: (1) a one foot wood extension - I find I use this much more often than the longer, adjustable poles I have, especially for small jobs. (2) a 1" diameter mini-roller - together with the short extension, this is ideal for painting behind toilets or old radiators where a regular roller is just too wide.
Free tool. Love this website. I have learned so much as an amateur do it your self painter. Your tips and tricks have helped so much that I now can paint without using much tape for cutting ceilings or around the baseboards. Thank you so much.
Hello from Tampa,FL!!...Thank you for the great advice! After 16 years of having a residential cleaning business I am now starting a house painting business...I have always liked painting and the jobs I did for cleaning clients on the side all said I should be painting for a living...so I'm taking the plunge!! Now I am looking at videos like your's to know what to buy... So far I have done a few interior small jobs and realize I don't have the right tools!!! Now I know what to buy thanks to your videos!
Love your videos man - I’m an industrial painter at the port of portland; I blast and paint ships. As I have desired to learn more about residential, and work towards being effective at painting interior/exterior of houses, I came across you!!! Great material, very clear - it’s apparent that you care about the work you do.
I've been getting my house ready to sell and your channel has been so valuable with tips that have made the process easier. Thank you for freely sharing your know how!
Good video! I have all the tools you featured here. here's one of many tips I use all the time. when applying a lot of patch work, sometimes touch-ups are necessary. for second or even third passes to fine tune some mud work, I mix my mud, then add a small amount of chalk-line chalk to the pan. I use blue or yellow (never red!). I keep a bottle of refill that lasts forever! only add enough to change the color sightly. you can plainly see your touch-up patches from across the room! be careful! don't add too much! it makes 45 min mud dry a lot faster, as it changes the chemical make up of the new grayish mud you now have. good luck!
Free Tool! Just saw one of your videos about caulking and have been sitting on the bedroom floor (current project room!) and watched 5 videos! I have to go caulk and paint now! Thanks for the tips
#1 way ive seen painters get fired is by not using a drop cloth or properly prepping there work. there is NO exceptions to being clean and protecting the rest of the job as you paint. it is a habbit you should develop and do without thinking.
Hey Chris thanks so much for these tips! Used the brush and roller covers you mentioned here and it made a world of difference! A good brush goes a long way:) your cut in tips help a ton to..by my second room I didn't even need to tape any more. The bucket was a game changer to. Thanks so much for the tips man!! Great job
Congrats to Ken Ladosinsky, Deivid Andrade, and Charles Youngblood! They have won either a free tool or shirt! Thank you to all who commented and participated, I am very blessed by all the support I receive from my subscribers :)
Another great video Chris! I have every told you mentioned- never go cheap on tools. As a DYI'er you got to have good tools. I actually broke a cheap roller frame once trying to take a roller cover off. Crazy. Quality rocks!
i still remember buying my first shockproof dewalt radio. some rep was showing it off at home depot or something and he threw it in the air while it was playing and charging a battery and it just bounced around. i bought one on the spot lol
Really appreciate what you are teaching. I retired from the Navy after 30 years, the one marketable skill I got from the Navy is how to paint, as long as it was ships side grey. Now that I am retired I have started to paint for friends, and now their friends... I now call myself Haggis Painting, we specialize in the Do it yourself job, you don't want to do yourself. Thanks for the help, makes my job a lot easier...
"Free Tool" Just remodeled my house and ended up painting it myself. Used the majority of your videos for guidance and finally finished it tonight. I still need to work on my cut-ins, haha. That caulking trick with the sponge helped me out tremendously. Thanks for all of the videos and will look forward to more in the future.
When removing switch plates, never pry them off (unless it's absolutely unavoidable). turn your screw driver around so you can give the switch plate one or more taps with the handle., it'll pop right off. Also, remember to leave the slot of all switch plate screws in a vertical position. it's a small detail that people notice.
Weird, I've literally only ever noticed (or even heard of anyone noticing) the slots pointed the same way one time, in one house. And frankly, the only thing it caused me to "notice" was that it made me suspect someone with OCD had previously lived in it.
@@michaelhendricks9462 I didn't know to point all the screws vertically and got scolded at by the electrician. He was not even my co-worker / . \ So, now I know
I'm really surprised that a rollers spiner is not one of your tool must haves. Infant that would make a great video clean up and storage of rollers and brushs. Thank Man you always have solid advise that works well.
So I guess you don't use nice, quality rollers (which last quite a long time if taken care of, just like any other tool), and don't know how to clean them quickly. Time is money? So is throwing away money. And takes me a lot less time to clean my tools than it does to replace them. I don't have to drive across town to clean a roller, but I do have to do so to get a new one. Oh, and also... gas is money.
My usual roller cost $10, and I can clean it in less than a minute. If you're getting more than $10 per minute, would you mind telling me where I can send my resume?
I've viewed several of your helpful videos. Your presentations are awesome with good, detailed information. Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos in positive, energetic and interesting method. Outstanding!
5 &1 is my friend. I have that and a bucket, wet rag, dry rag, caulk gun, my 3 inch straight edge i can do corners good with out it being tapered Purdy paint brushes, wire brushes, rollers, dust brush, roller screen for my bucket, i have had my extension for about 15 years. haha then most of all painters tape. . God it has been so long.
good morning just wanted to thank you folks for your honesty about everything yeah man I make 20000 decisions a day about so many things that nobody else understands you folks get it what do I have to do to go to one of your classes I love my life I love the trade that I do I make so many decisions I can't turn away from it it's just a wonderful way I'd rather deal with paint brushes atmosphere texture substrate than dealing with people
Free Tool How about Pot Hooks? (Bucket Hook) clips onto the handle of your deuces.(2gal.cut in bucket) Hang your cut-in setup off of the rungs when working off extension ladder. Also hook in to top of A-frame ladders when resting your duece on the tray of a 6-footer, helps the new guys from knocking setup all over the place :)

I have gotten in over my head and am now having to paint the interior of my home. I moved in 4 years ago. I did not realize that walks get dirty like they do. While cleaning the walls I became aware of the terrible paint that was used - not only is it a color I dont particularly like, it is a thin coat and weak coverage. I am not a painter and do have a disability that affects my peripheral vision and depth perception which is a challenge to live with, esp if I’m going to paint! I began watching your videos after I ordered an Accubrush. The idea that it could work as well as is advertised would sure make my project a lot better snd the results acceptable. I want to give you props for your videos. They are well done and I’m glad to have found them. There is so much out there on video and it’s discouraging to watch and be left feeling nothing was learned and my time was wasted. Thank you for efficiently snd effectively addressing each topic. So my Accubrush just came in. I don’t know if I will even open the package. I have also purchased 2 other edgers as well. Maybe I’ll do a comedy video of me painting - did I mention I can paint decorative items snd crafts but to do the walls in my home ... it’s just not my skill gift. Stay tuned...I could be a very grateful student as the weekend progresses. Again, thank you.
Home Improvement How To's I do! I'm planning on painting my room, and I find your videos entertaining, so I decided to subscribe and keep watching your videos 😍😍😘😘 because they're fun to watch😋😋😊😊
Throw that pan away and get a bucket Thats what the "hook" is for on the rolling handle is for, You can hang your roller on the bucket Roller pans are an accident waiting to haapen
Using the bucket for the roller is the best way, you can just push the bucket with your foot and it won't tip over also you can forget about reloading the pan all the time
nothing more aggervating then using a cheap roller frame. stay away from the cheap orange home depot rollers!!! LOL personally i work exclusively out of 5 gallon buckets with my 9" rollers. i dont have a problem using pans i just prefer working out of a 5. its easier and faster for me to move around as i paint. pans are an accident waiting to happen lol
Wassup bro, u right pans for rolling is martha Stewart shit, also lmk wats your opinion on angle brushes for cutting , I've notice alot of these videos use them.............i hate flat handle brush ,gatta b round handle purdy straight edge 2 me i can do 95%of my cutting
braddah d I prefer a Purdue blue bristle 3 inch angle brush for all my interior cut ins. exterior brushes either a 3 or 4 inch flat out barrel brush as it holds way more paint
Ken Doe Sherlock system is great. Saves alot of time changing to different poles on the job, also you can push harder and not have the roller loosen. I use the short bodied roller (15°) that can be stored in a 5 gal or there roller bucket.
Superb videos, I watch them all and get some great tips. Also when I start to get fed up with doing it day in, day out your enthusiasm gives me a boost I need! 👍
I'm sure you have seen those fools that have caulk and paint finger prints running all down the front of their pants. LOL, they can't come on my job looking like that. Paint belongs on the walls not on you. HA. Love the vids, keep um coming.
I have been doing my own painting for over 30 years. This is the best of what you need painting information. I wish this was available many yeard ago. I will be adding the 2 gal bucket and 1 gal grid. i have always use a 2in tapper but i like the Idea of the 3in.
Free Tool. Loves your videos, have probably watched 20 of them! Thanks for the free advice and tips, we love how descriptive your videos are! Thumbs up Chris
Thanks for all these tips. I love your speed, style, and enthusiasm. I start a painters job tomorrow and I think you will help me keep it. All I need is some tools, hopefully, some will be "free tools!" Wish me luck.
"free tool" Idaho I'm working in Ireland for a painter and decorator learning the trade, hoping one day to go out by myslef and your videos are giving me a lot more confidence ! you have a a good way of making your point clear and not over complicating it thanks very much !!!! IV subscribed also haha
Really been loving your videos brother I am a pro painter up here in Canada Winnipeg MB been painting for 25 years but have gotten many new tips your awesome keep it coming
The "free tool" is the advice you give. Timely and informative, if the employees at The Home Depot and Lowe's learned about the ten tools and what to recommend to customers, they would have many happy people.
Free tool. Love the channel. I worked for Sherman Williams for a summer in college learned a lot about painting. Currently own I think all the 10 tools except the extension pole and the masking. I always recommend canvas drop clothes and metal pans. Don't buy cheap tools also applies to painting. Just sprayed my garage with a Graco sprayer and about to start soffettes and trim. Painting is very rewarding work imo.
Thank you, I needed all those tips. Moving to a another house and I need to paint the entire interior, I have most of them, but am impressed with the drop cloth with the rubber non slip dots. Mine slides, I'll pick one up......
Great video! I made a list and bought some of the stuff from Lowes after watching this. The 2 gallon bucket, mini roller, sash brush and 5-in-1 tool is a perfect do it all cut in kit. It fits perfect on both my ladders' platforms.....really I don't know why I never did the bucket thing but it's great! thanks for the video!!!! the cheap, no brand name $3.88 frames at Home despot (with the black handles) are every bit as rigid as the $7 Wooster or $12 Purdy. They are made with the same thick diameter steel bar.
Hello, I been watching your videos for a long time now, and your the biggest help out of all these videos on UA-cam. So much info and if i didnt already know it, I have tryed out your ideas and most of the time I have actually stuck with it and got my guys to watch your videos as well.
Free Tool: I'm a homeowner and not a painter. The things that you covered about tools and painting was a great help. I went to a big box store to do research on tools and paints. Then went to a local paint store. The difference in quality of products was amazing. I opted to follow your advise and spend a few extra dollars at the local. you get what you pay for. Thank you for the vids.
SOOOO glad I found your videos! Learned a lot of cool tips and tool advise, I am a new subscriber too. Getting ready to paint the interior for the last time before moving out of CA. I was dreading it but not so much now. LOVE the caulking and tape trick! Thanks for sharing your experience and your faith. I’ll be watching more of your videos too.
"free tool" great video. I have learned a lot from you in the past year. I once bought cheap/thin drop clothes for my airless sprayer and found that the sprayer blew the cloth away from the edges. lesson learned!
Free tool ! My first job was painting (and other stuff) at an apartment complex. The turnover at month end was a crazy time, getting the vacant apartments cleaned up and freshly painted in as little time as possible so new tenants could move in. I thought I was a fast painter then, but with the tips you have shown me I know I'm a better painter now.

You need to have sandpapers all the time when you paint. 90% prep and 10% painting!

awesome tool!
Home Improvement How To's what size tip do you use for spraying interior wall with a airless ?
Jay Smith very true, I use this tool all the time. Don't for get the brush spinner tool, it spins out any paint left behind
Yes, Wooster makes a great one with a comb and wire brush together. Ideal for cleaning a brush to look like new.
I've owned the same Hamilton brush comb for over 7 years awesome little tool

Good video! I have all the tools you featured here. here's one of many tips I use all the time. when applying a lot of patch work, sometimes touch-ups are necessary. for second or even third passes to fine tune some mud work, I mix my mud, then add a small amount of chalk-line chalk to the pan. I use blue or yellow (never red!). I keep a bottle of refill that lasts forever! only add enough to change the color sightly. you can plainly see your touch-up patches from across the room! be careful! don't add too much! it makes 45 min mud dry a lot faster, as it changes the chemical make up of the new grayish mud you now have. good luck!

#1 way ive seen painters get fired is by not using a drop cloth or properly prepping there work. there is NO exceptions to being clean and protecting the rest of the job as you paint. it is a habbit you should develop and do without thinking.

Did you use a liner with the bucket? If no, how did you clean it afterwards?
I love the paint roll off buckets. Purdy makes one…so much easier to move around then the trays and less risk of splashing over the edge

Throw that pan away and get a bucket Thats what the "hook" is for on the rolling handle is for, You can hang your roller on the bucket Roller pans are an accident waiting to haapen
Good idea!
Arthur Morehead how do you dip the roller in the bucket? Does it cause excess paint to drip from side crevices?
Andy Dressler paint grid
Jacob Lee thanks! Just watched a video explaining what that was, and that makes sense. Good info.
Using the bucket for the roller is the best way, you can just push the bucket with your foot and it won't tip over also you can forget about reloading the pan all the time

LOL personally i work exclusively out of 5 gallon buckets with my 9" rollers. i dont have a problem using pans i just prefer working out of a 5. its easier and faster for me to move around as i paint. pans are an accident waiting to happen lol
Very much agreed!
Wassup bro, u right pans for rolling is martha Stewart shit, also lmk wats your opinion on angle brushes for cutting , I've notice alot of these videos use them.............i hate flat handle brush ,gatta b round handle purdy straight edge 2 me i can do 95%of my cutting
Home Improvement How To's We have a guy at work that steps in a rollerpan full of paint all the time lol
I agree . I've been a residential painter for quite some time. I never use a tray. accident waiting to happen is very correct.
braddah d I prefer a Purdue blue bristle 3 inch angle brush for all my interior cut ins. exterior brushes either a 3 or 4 inch flat out barrel brush as it holds way more paint
Chris, what's your take on the Wooster Sherlock painting accessories [rollers and extension poles]?
We have had good luck with them
Ken Doe Sherlock system is great. Saves alot of time changing to different poles on the job, also you can push harder and not have the roller loosen. I use the short bodied roller (15°) that can be stored in a 5 gal or there roller bucket.
Ken Doe best system out there
love the wooster sherlock, i have been usi g the pro/doo-z rollers, are the purdy White dove similar or the standard to use?
Wooster sherlock stuff is great, i prefer their Silver tip brushes over their rollers and frames tho...
Superb videos, I watch them all and get some great tips. Also when I start to get fed up with doing it day in, day out your enthusiasm gives me a boost I need! 👍
Thank you very much :)
I want to appreciate you for sharing your knowledge this kind of videos have helped me a great deal for my in home projects.
“Free tool”
Thanks for the support!
How could you forget RAGS/TOWELS HA!
lol, I don't know, I guess it's just a given :)
I'm sure you have seen those fools that have caulk and paint finger prints running all down the front of their pants. LOL, they can't come on my job looking like that. Paint belongs on the walls not on you. HA. Love the vids, keep um coming.
Thanks
I lost count on how many times he said "Actually".
Thank you for your advice and help God bless you and your family and praying for you and your family
Thank you so much for this video! I appreciate it. I’m planning on painting my bedroom and bathroom 👌🏽🕺🏼
I have been doing my own painting for over 30 years. This is the best of what you need painting information. I wish this was available many yeard ago. I will be adding the 2 gal bucket and 1 gal grid. i have always use a 2in tapper but i like the Idea of the 3in.
Yes, thanks for watching David!

You are welcome! :)
Love your videos - jacked up for my upcoming painting projects. Thanks Brother.
I just recently started watching your videos. Thank you for all the great tips and also the Bible verses. Every time I see one I'm looking it up!
Thanks for watching and supporting Drew!
Really been loving your videos brother I am a pro painter up here in Canada Winnipeg MB been painting for 25 years but have gotten many new tips your awesome keep it coming
The "free tool" is the advice you give. Timely and informative, if the employees at The Home Depot and Lowe's learned about the ten tools and what to recommend to customers, they would have many happy people.
Free tool. Love the channel. I worked for Sherman Williams for a summer in college learned a lot about painting. Currently own I think all the 10 tools except the extension pole and the masking. I always recommend canvas drop clothes and metal pans. Don't buy cheap tools also applies to painting.
Just sprayed my garage with a Graco sprayer and about to start soffettes and trim. Painting is very rewarding work imo.
Thanks for watching & sharing Dakota!
Awesome video, I really appreciate the thorough explanation on all these videos, this was and still is super helpful and informative.
Thanks Cameron!
Free tool! Great tips and thanks so much for the great video.
Thank you, I needed all those tips. Moving to a another house and I need to paint the entire interior, I have most of them, but am impressed with the drop cloth with the rubber non slip dots. Mine slides, I'll pick one up......
Great video! I made a list and bought some of the stuff from Lowes after watching this. The 2 gallon bucket, mini roller, sash brush and 5-in-1 tool is a perfect do it all cut in kit. It fits perfect on both my ladders' platforms.....really I don't know why I never did the bucket thing but it's great! thanks for the video!!!! the cheap, no brand name $3.88 frames at Home despot (with the black handles) are every bit as rigid as the $7 Wooster or $12 Purdy. They are made with the same thick diameter steel bar.
Thanks for info! I'm getting supplies for my dinning room makeover 😃
Hello, I been watching your videos for a long time now, and your the biggest help out of all these videos on UA-cam. So much info and if i didnt already know it, I have tryed out your ideas and most of the time I have actually stuck with it and got my guys to watch your videos as well.

Congrats! You've won a free tool or shirt. Email me at chris@idahopainter.com to see what you've won :)
Free Tool: I'm a homeowner and not a painter. The things that you covered about tools and painting was a great help. I went to a big box store to do research on tools and paints. Then went to a local paint store. The difference in quality of products was amazing. I opted to follow your advise and spend a few extra dollars at the local. you get what you pay for. Thank you for the vids.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Chris I really appreciate the videos you put out! I'm going to start my own business slowly and the videos are a HUGE help!
Hope it works out for you! Thanks for watching and supporting!
Cole McKinley can u paint my house tomorrow
free tool I would just like to say your videos are very professional and helpful they are a must watch
SOOOO glad I found your videos! Learned a lot of cool tips and tool advise, I am a new subscriber too. Getting ready to paint the interior for the last time before moving out of CA. I was dreading it but not so much now. LOVE the caulking and tape trick! Thanks for sharing your experience and your faith. I’ll be watching more of your videos too.
Glad to help
"free tool" great video. I have learned a lot from you in the past year. I once bought cheap/thin drop clothes for my airless sprayer and found that the sprayer blew the cloth away from the edges. lesson learned!
Free tool ! My first job was painting (and other stuff) at an apartment complex. The turnover at month end was a crazy time, getting the vacant apartments cleaned up and freshly painted in as little time as possible so new tenants could move in. I thought I was a fast painter then, but with the tips you have shown me I know I'm a better painter now.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching & supporting :)
