I have a commercial office building that I'm doing. It's about 12,000 Sq ft with carpet that is staying. It has a pre hung ceilings in 75% of the rooms. So my question is "since this is my first big commercial job" should I just cut and roll the rooms or try and mask the ceilings and spray? Would it make sense to spray first coat, then spray trim and cut and roll second coat?:001_unsure:

Thanks.

For me it would be brush and roll for sure.

I'm going with my Canadian Painter colleague on this one, brush and roll.

Quicker to roll. Less worry about all the things that could go wrong when using a compressor.

Thanks guy's!

I'd brush and roll too.

Good thread.
Guy asked a simple question, got simple answers.

I applaud all of the members that helped this guy out...w/o giving him any crap.

I'm with previous posts: roll it. Bust out the 18"s and get it done.

The time you would spend to bag it all off vs just brushing\rolling it out. Your call... Me I agree with the above..

 

[woodcoyote]

depends. is the place empty or does it have desks etc. etc. in it?

easiest thing to do if it's empty is spray. You don't even have to mask off the ceiling, just turn your pressure down and go up 70% of the wall or so. Then just spray from the ceiling down with a helper holding a paint shield up against the joint where the ceiling meets the wall.

Either that or convert the rig to utilize a pressurized roller. You can fly pretty quick that way as well, just mask the floors off near the wall for splatter or whatever.

I'd roll it as well.

Nothing easiar and quick moving that brushing and rolling walls with a drop ceiling. I love those jobs.

Which way did you bid the job? Brush and roll or mask and spray or just a WAG?

How do you allow your employees to roll with no drops?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the floor is being replaced.
