When we started this project, the room had stains on the floor and a smell that just wouldn’t go away. We got to work: repaired the drywall, refreshed the closet, and gave the whole space a fresh coat of paint. Then we leveled it up with a painted floor before carpet and finished with standout details like the accent wall and a cleaner-looking heater. What’s your favorite part of a transformation: the fresh paint, the repaired walls, or the final reveal? Share in the comments.

Will painting brick trap moisture inside the walls? It’s a great question we hear all the time. Brick is naturally porous, so it can absorb and release moisture. That’s why using the right, breathable masonry coating matters: it helps the surface while still allowing v***r to escape. Skipping proper prep or choosing the wrong coating can lead to long-term issues. What would you do, paint your brick or keep the natural look?

Want to know the least exciting part of painting? Everything that happens before the paint comes out. At Mtn Valley Painting, we take masking seriously, protecting floors, furniture, windows, trim, outlets, and more, so your finished walls look great and cleanup stays simple. Good prep beats messy surprises every time.

Have you ever needed to cover something in just one coat? We put Sherwin-Williams Extreme Cover to the test on these beams, which were originally a very dark color. The goal was simple: make them disappear. With the right hiding power, we were able to achieve full coverage in just one coat. Not every surface behaves the same, but using quality paint can save time and labor. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to paint over? Tell us in the comments.

If you’re working with water-based paint and it feels too thick, remember: thin it with clean water, not paint thinner. Water-based paint is designed to be adjusted with water so its chemistry stays balanced. Adding mineral spirits or mineral-based thinners can lead to uneven coverage and dull, poor results. Have you ever seen someone thin water-based paint with the wrong product? Tell us in the comments.

If your paint roller feels like it’s fighting you every time, try checking which way it’s facing. Most roller frames have a front and back—if the open side is leading, the roller can twist and pull against you. Flip it so the open side trails behind. You’ll get straighter tracking, smoother rolling, and less effort on every stroke. Did you already know this trick or did we just save you time? Drop your answer in the comments.

Good news: this water damage is dry. Bad news: dry doesn’t mean fixed. When drywall and wood dry out, the moisture leaves behind stains, weakened drywall, swollen trim, and peeling paint—and paint over it can allow stains to bleed through again. At Mtn Valley Painting, we repair the damaged areas, sand smooth, and use the right primer so the finish holds and the damage isn’t visible.

Ever wish cleaning your paint brushes didn’t take forever and leave a mess behind? We got to test a Painter’s Pal that connects to a hose for quick rinsing, and it really does streamline the process. If you’ve ever swished a brush in a bucket for 10 minutes, this feels like a smarter way to care for your tools. Cleaner brushes mean they last longer, so you spend less replacing them.
