These videos are great for home owners learning how to take care of their own homes. Almost every video this guy does is something that the vast majority of home owners should be doing on their own as part of being a home owner.
Every professional painter and the DIY'ers like me have their own means and methods. This video is done very well and gives everyone some good ideas. Thanks for the tips.
Masking works well if you are lucky to have a gap at the bottom of the skirting board though here in the UK our skirting boards don't usually have a gap. Also I'd suggest also putting a tarpaulin or cover over the main carpet to avoid any paint drips from the paint can, etc.
Yes, I live in the UK too and don't know if thats the same with me because my carpet is quite thick but now I realise I probably don't have a gap, such an American thing, everything they have just bloody works.
You dont need to put masking tape on the wall to paint the skirting boards etc and you dont need to be a professional to cut in your paint so to avoid masking tape.
Out of all the videos I have seen so far on painting trim boards this by fair has been the best simple step by step video and so simple for me. I had to watch this video a few times due to my short term memory loss. So coming from someone like me that’s a big kuddos !!! God bless
THANK YOU! That just saved me using up my masking tape for the carpet side and saved me on buying a 10"~ drywall knife! I have old ass blinds that will do the trick!
Hi great ideas if you have a gap under your baseboard, we in the UK call this skirting board, which is placed on top of the floorboard, so tucking under would not work. Regards welshman2081
I just use a thin piece of cardboard, about 2ft long and push it underneath the baseboard. Dont paint to the ends of the cardboard, leave about 5 inches on each end clean and gently pull it in the direction you're painting,keeping it under the base. Usually a couple pieces will do an average room.
I use modified Vinyl siding , just cut the edges off to turn it into a 2.5 inch flat strip . Slides under the baseboard with no issues and its reusable.
That wide brown packing paper (for me) is the best method to cover the carpeting and a great idea.....I'm a clumsy painter, lol. The blue tape is too skinny for me and I'd get it all over the carpet. Thanks for posting and sharing my friend. 👍👍
My absolute favorite channel for the most compact, practical information! You never disappoint! Just finished the A/C unit repair/cleaning from your prior video (along with the grounding tip from the comments!😵) saved major $$$ from needing a service call! And in the current heat wave-it’s working GREAT!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THESE VIDEOS!!!
Preparation and patience are key. We all need to be reminded of these factors from time to time. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and learnt a good tip to use a putty knife for the carpet and the tape. Thank you.
I'm a retired painting contractor of 36 years. The tapering method is by far the fastest and most efficient method. You don't need to use a drywall knife , just use your fingers to push it down and under the base.
@@thedbcooperforumnot everyone lives in Florida,some of us in fact most of us live in colder climes where carpet is the best option ,btw hard floors still get paint on them if you don’t mask
@@Royboy50 my comment explained I live in Florida, my comment never claimed to not need tape..I did say snowbirds excluded and slippers are available everywhere...
On past jobs I’ve take a roll of plastic, and cut it to about 6” wide. Then unroll it and using a plastic drywall blade/scraper I just tuck it under the baseboard and then get to painting. After it’s dry, just pull the plastic and roll it back up
This tutorial is fantastic! Your method for protecting the carpet and achieving super clean lines on the baseboards is brilliant. The detailed step-by-step process and the practical tips, like using painter's tape and a putty knife, are incredibly helpful. Thanks for making a potentially tricky job so much easier and more manageable
Awesome ideas to help those that always wonder how not to mess up their little paint projects. Once they are done they realized it's like "what is this mess"! 😢
@@FixThisHouseThe fact that you need to use tape at all tells me you are not a qualified painter, learn how to ‘cut an edge’, it’s much faster and cheaper.
Ive been using at10" or larger mud blade and running it under the base board. Using only the middle 80% ish of the blade, so when sliding it left or right, no paint on the edge smears on the carpet. Although wit the fluffier carpets, using the tape, under the baseboard is best; keeps the carpet from springing into the wet paint, gluing it to the baseboard.
If you want a smooth finish it helps to apply the product with a roller and back-brush with a brush. Rollers can cover the surface quickly and the brush gets rid of the roller-stipple.
if you get a decent semi-gloss with enamel in the paint you can skip the back brush altogether as the enamel is heavier paint which has a small paint "sag" so when you put it on with a small roller it "sags" the stipple to a nice finish without any brush strokes or stipple marks, might have to do 2 coats but it looks like it was spray finished.
@@MV-wb2cz▪︎ forgive me if this ought to be obvious but painting heavily enough for the paint to sag doesn't seem like a proper solution. Esp if the paint sags too much and pools at the bottom of the baseboard and onto the carpet or into the carpet "hairs."
@@bethanyanderson1745 forgive me but i did not say to paint a heavy coat, it's the way the paint is formulated, if you have a paint with enamel in it vs regular paint, it's a heavier paint and you don't need to back roller it
I've been a painter and a contractor for 30 years. I can paint a straight line on anything without blinking. This is a good video but again it's like most TH-cam videos it's overkill on the time to explain it
In stead of tape, paper or other stuff, take your painter's tarp and tuck it under the base board. That way, it'll be there when you do the wall too...or vice versa. Also, paint wall, then install base board.
Find some scrap vinyl siding or buy it new as its worth it, cut the edges off to form it into a 2.5 inch wide flat strips . Wedge the plastic beneath the baseboard and the problem is solved. I keep about 20 pieces of it at 6 foot lengths in my Van as this works perfect 👍 Taping is " NOT" the way to do this.
I invented painting and decorating. And I can confirm that these 3 methods are legit. You can also take the skirting board off or take the edge of the carpet up and then once finished, tuck it back in.
I use a 36x6 strip of laminate with 2in. masking tape along the edge. The laminate is thin enough to slide along as you work. Replacing the tape after finishing a complete length of baseboard.
Great video, i think i prefer the first method even though it takes a bit longer, i used low tack masking tape on the walls so there was less chance of ripping the wallpaper taking the masking tape off, really good video.
This is all well and good if you have a gap, base board or skirting as it know in New Zealand which is usually fixed before the floor coverings go down last to prospect it from workers all over it, so painting after does require some additional skill by the painter or home handy man not to get paint the caret edge
I’ve been doing this sort of work for 30 years. Basically you don’t have to tuck it on the skirting you you put the mask in type about half an inch up the skirting then Paul make the carpet tuck down back of carpet
The best thing for carpet and baseboard is to get yourself No residue duct tape. Investing a few dollars in 2 or 3 rolls of this makes the job a hell of a lot easier.You can leave it down as long as you need to until you're done then pull it all up at once. Make your strip as long as you can handle it. Keep it taut, and firmly press downward and toward the baseboard having the edge slightly curled as you apply pressure, from slightly the middle pressing down and forward getting the edge under the board. You'll get about 1/4 inch to almost 1/2 inch underneath. I very been able to do it with 3/4 inch carpet.
The Frog Tape people also do a yellow "delicate" tape as opposed to the green stuff shown in this video. It's less likely to remove paint from the wall.
Your technique is fine, if your baseboards are above the wooden floor. For homes built in the 50's, the floors were hardwood and the baseboards rested on them. I went to Lowes and bought 6 thin sheets of sign making plastic. These are 18" x 24" in size. Using my wide putty knife I tuck their wide edge between the baseboard and carpet. As they lay back onto my drop cloth their weight keeps them in place. If needed, a bit of pressure on them, as I paint keeps them in place. They're also thin enough that I can slip them under doors and paint them, without removing them. I do take off the door knobs.
Right on. I usually use the ten inch blade without tape, but wipe the blade down with a damp rag on both sides after painting about nine inches of baseboard. Then with a totally clean knife do another nine inch section of baseboard. I ALWAYS have two damp rags (one for covering my paint brush and can, and another for quickly wiping up accidents and drips. I'll probably try the construction paper method someday, that looks quick and inexpensive. I always use a dropcloth when painting over carpet, also.
Thank you so much! I really needed this video. Could I use these techniques on a floating vinyl Plank floor? The extra base board is nailed into the floor. I'm not sure ai can get the tape or the drywall spatula under it.
I did mine a few years ago using similar equipment, but pushing the tape down at 90 degrees between the edge of the carpet and the skirting board. As a bonus the edge of my carpet was extremely clean looking 😂
When painting the skirting board leave a gap of 3mm above the carpet, no need for tape or pallet knifes etc. No one comes into your home and gets on their knees to look at the board and it can't be noticed when standing up.
I have not seen a house with the baseboard above the carpet. I live in Arizona and every new house I have seen which includes many different home builders has carpet installed after the baseboard. How do you paint the baseboard in those types.
use a softer bristle brush and you will not see the brush marks you do not need the tape at all i have been a painter for over 30 years never got 1 drop on any carpet if anything get a nice sheet of alloy sheet put it under then paint along it the move it a long if you useing a gloss paint make sure you turp it down so it givies you a nice flow and not pulling
Been a P+D 17 years always used masking tape. It’s just there to protect the carpet which means still need to cut in. The mistake people make is they leather the paint into the tape when painting the boards which risks leaking onto the carpet which is a pain in the arse.
Good advice for tucking the tape. Bad advice to submerge a paintbrush for cleaning. This can damage the ferrule by making it swell and ruin a brush. To make cleaning easy and save paint from getting into ferrule wrap blue painter tape around the ferulle and over bristles where it connect about a half inch. When done peel the tape toward the bristles where you will see it blocked paint from getting into the ferrule which is how brushes get ruined. I have brushes that are 30yrs old and good as new with this practice. Makes clean up easier too.
Proper gloss paint you cannot wash brushes out in water, And you should be using a foam roller with gloss, The roller you used is for emulsion nice info on masking up though.
@@FixThisHouseYou obviously are new to painting, it’s actually quite humorous that an unskilled painter such as yourself should being putting out a ‘ how-to’ video,…your ego must be huge.
You hit it out of the park again! Putting wax paper under the baseboard seems like the best way for me to paint. I'm too clumsy to have just tape on the carpet.
NEVER use hot water to clean brushes and rollers. Paint is more likely to become hard and form a skin with hot water. Only ever use cold water which will more easily and quickly dilute the paint.

You dont need to put masking tape on the wall to paint the skirting boards etc and you dont need to be a professional to cut in your paint so to avoid masking tape.

I use old vertical blind slats cut to 3-4 feet and push it under the baseboard, shielding the carpet, moving it along as I paint.
THANK YOU! That just saved me using up my masking tape for the carpet side and saved me on buying a 10"~ drywall knife! I have old ass blinds that will do the trick!
That tape is easily $9 a roll
He ain't even holding his brush right, that's a $5 paint bush, who rolls 6:56 their baseboards ?
People don't have skills anymore. Thank goodness for this guy.
Hi great ideas if you have a gap under your baseboard, we in the UK call this skirting board, which is placed on top of the floorboard, so tucking under would not work. Regards welshman2081
And having that gap often results in the edge of the carpet becoming dirty as dust can blow in draughty circumstances.

Nice. Thx. The paper method deserves a try.
Good idea and saves such a lot of worry and time especially if you have a carpet fitted will certainly be trying this 👍. Paul Uk
How long to wait after painting to hang things on wall like light switch covers. Etc..
You read my mind... I've been looking for this.
But what about on stairs? Same process?
When painting the skirting board leave a gap of 3mm above the carpet, no need for tape or pallet knifes etc. No one comes into your home and gets on their knees to look at the board and it can't be noticed when standing up.
Very good, I prefer the masking tape and brown paper methods.

Proper gloss paint you cannot wash brushes out in water, And you should be using a foam roller with gloss, The roller you used is for emulsion nice info on masking up though.
Thank you for the advice! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
@@FixThisHouse No problem take it easy.
@@FixThisHouseYou obviously are new to painting, it’s actually quite humorous that an unskilled painter such as yourself should being putting out a ‘ how-to’ video,…your ego must be huge.
Thank you bro, all methods can work, I really appreciated your video, Sir. Thanks, Wade Out..
Thank you Antonio! Means a lot!
You hit it out of the park again! Putting wax paper under the baseboard seems like the best way for me to paint. I'm too clumsy to have just tape on the carpet.
Thank you so much! I’m glad I was able to show options you liked 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Me too I think I'm going to try this one
Great info! Do like the construction paper method.
NEVER use hot water to clean brushes and rollers. Paint is more likely to become hard and form a skin with hot water. Only ever use cold water which will more easily and quickly dilute the paint.
A bit of liquid hand or dish soap helps, then rinse well and shake dry.
