the best of both techniques:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Spraying quickly lays on a layer of paint.<br \/>\nBack rolling \u201cpushes\u201d the paint spray into the substrate to penetrate better.<\/p>\n<p>For exteriors, we spray paint on the home&#8217;s exterior and back-roll the paint. \u00a0This allows us to paint faster (and less expensively for our customers) while providing a quality coat of paint using the back-rolling technique.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Will spraying an exterior home with paint last as long as rolling the same house?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, spraying with back-rolling lasts as long as a home that is only rolled.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are the precautions needed for spraying the exterior of a home?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You will need to get your vehicles out of the way, so no overspray gets onto them.<\/p>\n<p>We cannot spray on a windy day because the paint spray can carry over to your neighbor&#8217;s homes, which we don&#8217;t want to happen.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>No matter how well we spray, we&#8217;ll still touch up with brushes and rollers:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Spraying helps us paint large swaths at a time, but spraying is terrible for painting smaller, intricate areas. \u00a0This is why you&#8217;ll see our painters using brushes and rollers around small areas of your exterior, like corners and molding, even if we spray.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Spraying empty interiors:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our Commercial clients often ask us to spray inside of their empty interiors as it is a quicker and less expensive way to paint inside. \u00a0All painters using a spray gun are trained and wear PPE to avoid inhaling the paint and fumes.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rolling paint for interiors that are occupied:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because most of the painting we do is in owner-occupied spaces, we generally roll paint on interior walls, ceilings, and trim and touch up with paint brushes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>You also might like to read:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/certapro.com\/boston-south-shore\/community\/journal-of-an-exterior-painting-project\/\">Day-by-day journal of an exterior home that was sprayed<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/certapro.com\/boston-south-shore\/house-painting\/exterior-painting-services\/\">Our exterior painting process<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/certapro.com\/boston-south-shore\/community\/wood-rot-repair-in-boston-south-shore-areas\/\">Carpentry services to repair wood before we paint for you<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/certapro.com\/boston-south-shore\/community\/should-i-use-paint-or-stain-for-my-homes-exterior\/\">Paint vs. stain &#8211;
