Do professional house painters spray or brush paint?

Question

Ive always wondered if real house painters spray paint on using like compressors or those wagner guns or do they still use a crew of guys with brushes?

Answer 1

Both it depends on the job

Answer 2

Professional painters may do either. Of course, they use a "professional" spray gun or the best of brushes depending on their prefference. If they spray they still will use a brush for "cutting" and trimming. Some will even use a roller instead of spray or brush.
The difference is the "pro's" do a good/proper job of PREP. They make sure paint is clean and loose paint is removed then bare wood is properly primed. If they don't do a good prep job then they are not really professionals!

Answer 3

Both. Brush painting costs more, but it is preferred by artisans who can do a better job. Spray painters just want to get the paint on and get their money.

Answer 4

it all depends on the area of the house they are painting...a lot of people now days spray b/c they still charge a ton of money but get done in half the time...in small areas or detailed areas they will roll brush...
