Often when people paint tall or high walls they leave join marks, this video will show how to roll a tall or high wall without join marks.
Great video, perfect tutorial. I am just going to paint an outdoor 2 story wall and had no idea how to paint with an 18" roller on an extended 24 feet pole. Thanks a million!!!
I glad you found the video useful.

Nice! Old school technics!! My father taught me many of your trates. he learned his trade in the fifties from an english coater that coated in the thirties!....
dhkcoatings Yes my boss was 60 when he took me on as an apprentice so I was taught a lot of old school stuff like brushing complete walls.
Fab tip on the continuous roll avoiding join marks. How did you do the cut in? Thanks
I have a video on how to cut in, you can search my playlists for it. In this room I used a mobile scaffold to reach the top of the wall.
That was going to be my question. This is the part I’m dreading. I have 20 foot walls. I love them and am looking forward to painting using this technique. Just not looking forward to painting by the ceiling 😢
And how do you manage near the top windows? No taping?
how do you make a straight line between the ceiling and wall with that height?

I have tried several techniques but always end up with lines from top to bottom. Not lines from the edge of the roller ... more like darker streaks. Everything I've researched says to keep a wet edge and make sure to layout from top to bottom. Very frustrating not being able to get a consistent even color when rolling 16 ft - 20 ft. walls, especially when there's a large window allowing direct sunlight in. Thanks for your video ... I will try your technique.
I use a paint extender which a solution you add to you paint to keep it from drying to quick . That and this technique should work for ya.
I hope it all goes well.

Very nicely done! Thanks for the demo!
Thanks for the comment.
how do you cut in around the ceiling without a ladder?
You either need a scaffolding or ladder depends on how high the walls are, there is no other way.

How high is this from floor to ceiling?
I can't remember exact height but it was around 4.5 metres high.

How long do you think it would take using a nine-inch roller, and would one receive the same result???
It would take longer to do and you will get the same results as long as you keep a wet edge.

@@howtopaintinfo Thanl you buddy
Hi,
great video - just wondering if you have any tips as I have a similar height wall (3600mm) but it is in a hallway that is only about 1700mm wide so when i have my pole extended to reach the top of the ceiling it makes it too big to be able to lay the wall off in one continuous stream (pole hits the opposite wall). Any tips so that I'm not leaving marks halfway down the wall.
Cheers
Kylie Dawson I know your comment is old now but I have a video showing how to break up the height and still blend the sections together seamlessly.
Hi I’ve got the same situation what’s the way to do it ?
Paint a section of the top then use a different size extension pole paint the bottom section laying off upwards to blend in with the top.

@@howtopaintinfo Same issue I am having. High entryway with tight configuration. Please elaborate (or provide video) that shows how to "lay off upwards". Seems to me this would leave a lap mark unless I am missing something. Thanks.
Thank you for another great video! What brand of pole, roller frame and roller do you use I need to get this set up for sure thank you again your always such a class act.
Paul Rhodes I'm sure they are all rota-cota, just make sure what ever you buy is good quality and it will last.The roller sleeve is lambs wool.
Nice video. What is the name of the extension pole you are using??
I think it is a Rota Cota extension pole.

Where do I get a tall roller like that? I have an A frame house and I need to paint a V shaped wall. Ty.
You should be able to buy the extension at most paint shops.

Hey Mate. What brand roller covers do you recommend. Is Micro fibre any good for rolling smooth walls?
You can use microfibre but lambs wool release the paint better.

What sheen of paint do you recommend for such tall walls with so many windows?
+mmedlin9295 I would still use a low sheen paint, being walls you want a paint that can be washed.
HOw long did it take you to finish the area? Thanks!
It does take a lot long to cut in because you need to use scaffolding and rolling takes longer, say up to twice as long as a normal room or longer.

Wish it was a contrasting color to the existing. Too hard to see the difference.
Sorry about that, it was the best I could do at the time.

this is white on white. my wall is red and Im painting white. how do i get the corner areas?
The same process applies for all colours and you will need to brush the corners.

but you're using white paint . what if you were using a color how would u get the very top with out getting paint on the ceiling
+queenliloxox I didn't get paint on the ceiling, you need to cut the top off the wall in first with a brush then roll the wall, just be careful not to hit the ceiling when rolling.
+howtopaintinfo what did you use to get that high up?" scaffolding?
Kelly Drinkwater Yes we used a scaffolding to cut in the top part of the walls.
+howtopaintinfo you should show that process.
What size of nap???
Can't remember but most likely 15 mm.

When I worked at a paint company I got yelled at for rolling like this.
So you don't work there anymore, sounds like a good move.

how do you do the edge on top without touching the ceiling?
You need to use a ladder of scaffolding to cut it in first.

How can find the pole?
You are painting same color so we can't tell.... What you gonna do for the high wall edges when you painting different colors? and when you wanna keep the ceiling white and the wall different color?
I was painting the second coat, like every time you paint walls you must cut in first using a brush.

If you were changing color, how would you cut in at the top?
The top was cut in first, either use an extension ladder and lean it against wall or use a scaffold, it will be easier.
Yep I love lambs wool covers holds heaps and easy wash up !!!
Thanks
Yes they are easy to clean out.

Thanks for the reply, yes I have subscribed and have watched and liked almost 98 percent of your vids. You do great work, I am abt your age 25yrs exp painting own my small company. You and I have the same work ethic old school I guess lol. Just curious you use the 14in roller is there a reason you don't step up to the 18in.
Also do you price jobs by the hour or by the job, and I know all jobs are different but in general???
Last question do you have help or a crew on full interior jobs, where the entire house gets painted or do you fly solo most of the time.
Thanks my friend you do good work.
Ken from the states
Hi Ken, I prefer the 14 inch roller for several reasons, first it's a little easier to use then the 18 inch and the 14 in seems to get down the side of most doors frames etc. Also at the end of a day rolling ceilings I don't feel completely drained.
I do a bit of both, some are quoted and some are charge up.
I generally work by my self and get help when required, have had up to 7 people helping me but I find it too hard to control the quality.
Not bad Though can I suggest maybe using different colored paint next video so potential customers can see what you are actually doing ? White on white looks as though you don't even have any paint on the roller..
It's hard to get a job where the customer has a drastic change in colour, a lot repaint in same colour or a colour close to what they have.

How do you have that much paint in the roller?? I’m trying to paint walls at work and my roller runs out of paint in less that one stroke but you’re able to do an entire section. I’ve tried multiple different rollers and it’s always the same.
Depends on roller nap size, I use 15 to 18mm nap and the type of roller sleeve you use, I use lambswool most of the time and also it will depend on how much paint you load on the roller. Hope that helps.

Hello. I was wondering if you have any tips for painting a tall wall with limited spaced behind me. I am painting a hall with another wall behind me. The light also shines in from a side angle so it shows up every uneven stop/start marks

If you get too close to the ceiling, you inadvertently put paint on it. So, how to do you manage to paint the very top of the wall without touching the ceiling if using a ladder would be too dangerous because you have stairs in the way?
We used a mobile scaffold to cut in the top of the room.

How about getting paint all the way up in the corners without touching the ceiling? This video is only half the information needed I feel.
You cut the walls in as normal, cutting in is the easy part rolling is more difficult to get an even finish.

Hi,
I am jealous as I watch this, because I have had a lot of trouble with this. You make it look soooo easy. :)
I have watched MANY TH-cam videos on how to get a perfect paint job. I am 5 feet tall and have 10-foot ceilings.
When I paint small walls (e.g., over a window), they look great. If it is a narrow wall (e.g., 2 feet wide), I have discovered that I can just roll horizontally, overlapping half the width of the roller, and there are absolutely no visible lines/marks when it dries (even when I flash a light from the side).
When I paint a big wall, it looks equally great, until I shine a light on it from the side. I have tried to "feather" beyond the wet edge, as suggested by many other videos, because I am simply not that fast, but that doesn't seem to be helping.
I tried breaking up the wall into more manageable squares, but when I flash the light, I see lines from where the squares overlapped (think tic-tac-toe). Like I said, the walls look fine if you look straight at them. It's the "light from the side" test that they are failing.
I am using Duration paint from Sherwin-Williams, and it dries really fast. My walls have a lot of patches, and someone suggested using thick nap roller to get some texture on the wall and camouflage the change in texture.
I am not sure if my problem is the paint, the roller, or just the fact that I am not a pro. :(
Do you have any advice (other than hiring a pro)? :)
THANKS!
If you really can't do it yourself then yes maybe hiring a pro is the best for you. Maybe do what you can and are comfortable doing and leave the rest to a pro, will help with cost doing what you can.

you don 't have a video showing how to cut the edges on high walls and ceilings.
Its the same as cutting in lower walls it's just off a bigger ladder
When I roll where I joined it still leaves a line as the first bit has dried a touch? Should I thin the paint?
You most likely didn't have enough paint on the roller or maybe the nap of your roller sleeve was to short. Use around 15 mm nap, you should find this will work better.

Another great video! I've got a problem in my room, I have big cracks that are about a half a centimeter wide above the water pipe. What should I use to fill them?
Depends on how much movement there is but I would use base coat, that's the product they use for flushing plaster board, remember base coat and not top coat.
