The choice between a paintbrush and a roller can influence the speed, coverage, and finish quality of a painting project. Brushes are ideal for cutting in around edges, corners, and trim. They give greater control and precision, making them perfect for detailed work.
Rollers, on the other hand, are designed for covering large, flat areas quickly. They create a consistent texture and, when used correctly, can give a smoother finish on walls and ceilings. Choosing the right nap (roller cover thickness) is also important—shorter naps for smooth surfaces and longer naps for textured surfaces.
In most cases, a professional painter will use both in tandem: brushes for edges and tricky spots, rollers for broad surfaces. At Jeff Allan Paint & Paper, this combined approach ensures efficiency without sacrificing a flawless finish.
