How to use a Paint Brush.

How Not to Interior House Paint.

Don't ever, never, paint out of the can. You should paint out of a pot when cutting in a room.

Only amateurs do that!

This is how amateurs paint when painting out of the can: They dip their brush into the paint, and then they scrape it off! Both sides! It's hilarious to watch.😀

They're basically painting with a dry brush. LOL.

And don't paint out of those cups that look like a "cup" and hold about as much as half a cup of paint. Again, only amateurs paint out of those things.

I see it all the time in painting videos.

I know "professional painters" personally, who paint like that.

They are NOT professional.

Why you should not paint out of the can:

More Controlled Paint Loading: It's easier to control the amount of paint you load onto your brush from a pot, reducing drips and spills.

A paint can will tip over more easily than a wider paint pot.

Cleaner Tools: By using a pot, you're less likely to get paint all over the outside of the main can, keeping your workspace tidier.

Using a paint pot is a best practice for painters because it helps maintain the quality of the paint in the main can, improves efficiency and control during application, reduces mess and waste, and ultimately contributes to a better and more professional finish. Think of the paint can as your "storage" and the pot as your "working supply".

So, to the amateurs in the residential and commercial painting business, do yourself a favor,

Stop painting out of the can and watch your productivity increase!

Interior Attleboro Painting

The homeowner in Attleboro, MA was determined to find the perfect off-white for their space, so we began the project by testing a wide range of off-white color swatches directly on the walls. As anyone who’s gone through this process knows, off-whites can vary greatly depending on the lighting, room size, and surrounding elements—so taking the time to sample multiple shades was key.

After careful consideration and viewing the swatches at different times of day, the client confidently chose Benjamin Moore’s "Simply White"—a clean, fresh shade with just the right amount of warmth. Once applied, the transformation was immediate. The color brightened the entire room, giving it a more open and airy feel while maintaining a soft, inviting atmosphere.

The result is a timeless and versatile backdrop that works beautifully with the homeowner’s decor and natural light. It’s a great example of how a thoughtful color selection process can truly elevate a space.

Room painters are skilled tradespeople who apply paint to interior walls, ceilings, and trim. They may also prepare surfaces for painting by removing old paint, patching holes, and sanding rough spots. Room painters typically use a variety of tools, including brushes, rollers, spray guns, and ladders.

The specific duties of a room painter will vary depending on the project. For example, a painter who is painting an interior room will typically follow these steps:

• Prepare the surface by removing old paint, patching holes, and sanding rough spots.
• Apply a primer to the surface to seal it and help the paint adhere.
• Apply two coats of paint to the surface, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
• Clean up the area by removing masking tape and disposing of used paint and rags.
