How to Paint a Room or Wall | DIY Painting For Beginners

Knowing how to paint a room is one of the most essential skills you can have as an investor or regular homeowner. But, if you’ve never painted before, this relatively simple task can seem like a nightmare. How much paint do you use? Do you need a primer coat? And what can you do to get PERFECTLY crisp painting lines on every wall you touch? You don’t need to be a professional contractor to know how to paint walls, rooms, or entire houses, but we brought one on anyone to show you how it’s done.

Tyler Madden, founder of luxury construction firm, Laurelless, has had his fair share of painting experience. Whether for his own rental properties or clients, he’s rolled, sprayed, and primed enough to know what will give you the luxury paint feel at a more affordable price. We also brought in Anson Young, Denver-based investor with years of experience in finding, fixing, rehabbing, and renting homes.

Anson and Tyler have some quick tips that’ll save you dozens of hours painting and numerous trips to the store. They’ll get into exactly how to prep for painting, whether or not you really need a standalone primer, the best brands they trust, and how to get that gross yellow tint off your old walls. If you’re a beginner or DIY-er, stick around!
