We all know the expression \u201cuse the right tool to do the job right.\u201d  While it\u2019s a common sentiment, surprisingly, it is advice often ignored when seemingly faster ways to complete a task are on hand. <\/span><\/p>\n

At Catchlight Painting, part of our meticulous planning and execution is selecting the right tools among the many available to us for our residential painting projects. That\u2019s part of the benefit of working with a professional painting company. We bring the knowledge to mitigate the root cause of many paint-related problems, the guarantee of a lasting finish, and a result that meets or beats the homeowner\u2019s expectations. Achieving that means understanding which tools are appropriate for the job. In this blog post, we\u2019ll talk about the factors that go into the decision to brush, spray or roll paint when applying it to a home’s exterior. <\/span><\/p>\n

To Brush, Spray, or Roll Paint?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Homeowners often ask whether it\u2019s best to brush, spray, or roll paint during <\/span>exterior house painting<\/span><\/a> projects. \u201cCan\u2019t you simply spray and roll the paints and finish the job in half the time?\u201d While it\u2019s true that a <\/span>painting contractor<\/span><\/a> could choose to execute this way, the fastest process is not always the best approach. Optimal results come from employing the correct techniques; to be overly reliant on the wrong tools is almost guaranteed to yield a lackluster outcome. <\/span><\/p>\n

This sentiment is particularly true here in New England, where harsh winters and the summer sun wreak havoc on a home\u2019s exterior, especially the historic Colonial and <\/span>Victorian homes<\/span><\/a> throughout Greater Boston. They require proper <\/span>preparation<\/span><\/a> and the correct exterior paint application whether we choose to brush, spray or roll.<\/span><\/p>\n
