House painting – Priming with an 18 inch roller

March 10th, 2010

This is an example of an 18 inch roller in action priming a stairwell. This house was under renovation and so we were able to use an airless sprayer to paint nearly everything. Occasionally other trades are present in the house so some areas can not be spray painted at that time. Here we are quickly finishing up the first coat of primer to all areas. Our third and final coat will also applied with an 18 inch roller on this house painting project.

Depending on how the other trades involved in the work are scheduled, we may hold off on doing the final coat of paint until the majority of their work is finished. This is typically because the surface is damaged slightly by the traffic from other trades carrying tools and doing their installations; not to say they are careless but it is quite common that touch-ups are needed before the project is finished.
