Rolling & Back-Brushing versus Spraying

Our proven method makes a big difference in the quality of your paint job. Learn about how our rolling & back-brushing process is better than spraying.

Benefits of our Rolling & Back-Brushing process

  1. Heavier coat means a longer-lasting finish – We use a thickly-napped roller (1.25 inch) for full-on saturation while spray equipment delivers a more superficial coating to surfaces. We've noticed that after 5 years, spray jobs start to fade faster and this has helped us win customers.
  2. Mechanical forces are important – Exterior surfaces are porous with imperfections, even more so with aging. By using a roller the paint is pushed into these contours which more effectively delivers a watertight seal.
  3. Adhesion is vital – All paints are formulated with bonding agents. With direct roller-brush to surface contact the bonding chemistry is more active. Paint simply sticks better and for longer when done by hand.
  4. More of an Even Coat & Less Fading – Our Colorado sunshine hits us with elevated doses of ultraviolet (UV) rays known to cause color fading and dulling. Rolling and back brushing provides a more uniform saturation as well as a heavier coat than spraying. This results in less fading and color variation over time. In addition, we use high-quality paints to ensure your house will continue to look outstanding for a decade and beyond.
  5. More Environmentally Friendly – Sprayers cast particulates into the atmosphere. Skillful hand-painting creates no overspray and all the paint ends up where it should — on your house.
