How to PAINT A ROOM IN 10 MINUTES!😱🔜 

Thanks for the tips, Hugo! I've painted quite a bit but always looking for new tricks. I'll have to give this a try on my next paint job. By the way, ignore all the rude and ignorant comments. Some people just don't know how to see the good in anything.

7 years ago and he’s still responding to comments, that’s how you know he’s genuinely trying to help people. Great video!

Remember to keep the surface wet with paint, cover the surfaces, keep a wet rag with you, long strokes when painting, three tools to spread the paint ( medium size roller, small roller and a brush). Have fun, and if I was able toearn you too!! Thank you.

Hugo I loved your video. Im David and own a small painting company in Kansas and I have done this technique for a few years now and it does work. People need to realize that you only do this alone if you have small length of walls and work quickly. Say you have a small bedroom like a 10 x 10 or 11 x 11. It works great alone. Anything bigger you should have 2 people. First cut in all of your walls like you did here and make sure to feather out the cut ins. I feather out my cut ins out to 6 inches or so. Once the cut ins are dry I Tape off the baseboards first to avoid paint splatter. I then quickly apply the paint as you do here. Then I come back and go from left to right with the closed end of the roller cage always facing towards the direction I'm painting. This assures no lap marks. Once I reach the end I go back and roll it out once more from left to right. Works great and is fast. Now people if the wall is a lot longer you should have two people. One person is applying the paint as Hugo shows here as the other person is doing the final up and down layout and roll off of the paint with even up and down motion from top to bottom. Always closed end of roller gage going with the left to right motion. It does work a lot faster and if done right it will leave a smooth surface free of roller marks ect. Thanks Hugo! Remember people there is a lot more prep work then just buying paint and a cheap brush and roller so hire a professional painter....

I have to be honest with you, I have many Years working on these fields and it is practice the best teacher, if you have paint on the surface and brush the only worry is how strait you can paint, just work at a nice pace and have fun. Thank you for watching.

I am too a painter. I do a lot of interior rooms in customers homes I personally love the way you teach to roll a wall. I have found this makes the walls much more consistent and I have less double coating to do. Way to go!

Hey man just wanted to tell you, I've been painting for years but I never really had a method like you do, I just sort of did things as I felt like doing them, lol. Anyways, I tried doing it your way today in two bedrooms, I taped off the trim and cut in the entire room then rolled the walls like you did and holy crap was that way faster. So just wanted to say thanks, you saved me a ton of time today and probably a lot more in the future.

Hugo, I am going to paint the interior walls of my new home and this video is SO helpful... thank you!

Thank you for this video. FYI to address those who are claiming that this is not a professional way to paint, because "they" are professionals and "they" do not use "this" way: I have watched many professional painters (and electricians, tile contractors, plumbers, flooring etc) work. Same trade, same job professionals many have very different techniques. Rarely is their one right way. A true professional in any trade or profession can get a good outcome many ways. For painters, some professionals prefer to work out of a tray; some out of a bucket. Choosing a tray over a bucked does not relegate one to 'non-professional' status. It is simply a preference. Further, I've rarely seen a professional painter lay paint on nor off much differently than on this video. When I do, I simply have to recall the professional to do touchups because there are drips and holidays that need to be fixed. Too much haste does make waste. Professional accountants, lawyers, doctors and indian chiefs, and tile, floor, painting, upholstery electricians etc, may have more than one way to do the same darn thing. In my experience, a true professional develops his/her techniques (which may be different than those of others) to get the same result: properly wired house, sutured wound, straight tile etc, and efficiently, beautifully painted wall. This method demonstrated is perfectly professional, will yield professional results and can be done quickly while not compromising results with drips, holidays and other flaws that will detract from the finished product. Further, such professionals can work with a wide variety of tools (and quality) and still get great results. Carping to the contrary is just that. Carping.

as a small work private contractor, I find this very useful. I guess I've been doing it wrong for so long,lol thank you for sharing your technics. I will definitely apply them next week as I paint and entire apt!

Thank you for the information, in some occasions having the screen into a 5 gallon bucket is even better than the pans. I think a systematic way of working in any area of construction makes the work practical. When I build concrete columns with reinforce steel the way I set the simple tools is crucial to work fast as well. I just hope that what I have been learning for many years can help with the frustration of others. Thank you for helping me.

Perfect, I hope you finish .those projects as intended. Thank you for watching them.

I totally should of seen this 1st before I started painting my room -_- now making more work for myself uhhh!!! This video explains a lot 👍

Mr. Correa, Thank you for e x c e l l e n t interior wall painting advice! You have helped to save our painting projects by cutting in half the time, work & money it normally would have taken to accomplish! In my and so many others opinion, you are a PRO😀. We love your videos👏🤗👏

Thank you for taking your time and sharing your experience. Don't listen to these trolls bashing you.

I am into my 48th year painting and drywall finishing/repair. I just finished brush/roll including cutting everything in first an interior three bed 2 bath house two coats. No lids (ceilings) in 6 hrs. With all furniture in. Ceilings in bath and laundry rooms included. Over the yrs. I have learned the shortcuts. In 47 + yrs. I never had complaints or had to redo a job. I mostly apply 2 coats. The color is better with the second coat as Michael posted. Wear whites ! I am 76

Just for people who do not know any better. When you buy paint professionally. There are performance warranties on good paint. If you paint in a thickness of greater then the wet mills prescribed by the supplier the warranty is void. If you want to know how to paint read the directions on the manufacturers website. You start from one side to the other always keeping a wet edge feathering from one side to the other.

Fantastic tips... wish I had watched your clip 10 years ago before buying my house! Thanks, Hugo!

this is absolutely an amazing technique your very smart

well I personally appreciate you taking the time to make a video to help us who are new to painting or need tips, I'm getting ready to paint my kids room so I need all the tips I can get, thank you for sharing your knowledge some of us are grateful for it.

as a professional painter i wonder.. You can roll a room in 10 min no problem. Even less. What about the trim ceilings and cuts. Even if all you have to do is the walls you wont cover the floor and cut in the walls the the trim and ceiling in 10 min. Also take 2 coats to get proper film thickness.

Went to you tube knowing I would find tips or devices to make room painting quick and easy. Nice to see basic tips from someone who has spent a lot of time painting and through trial and error created a good set of rule.

Thank you so much!!! I was ready to pull my hair out, but this gives me hope that I might be able to finish my daughters room. :)

I didn't think I could do it myself-then I found you video. Came out great and saved alot money. Thanks Hugo😄

I'm always happy to serve others, they don't bother me at all

This video is unbelievable. I'll be painting one of my units next week. Can't wait to try this!!

This is a very good video Hugo, I am decorating my hall and living room and bedroom and will do it your way, 1st time very tough, now I have a much better idea, thank you very much with deepest gratitude, George!!

I picked this up a few years ago it's the fastest way to roll if u know how to control the paint. You're a genius thanks again bro

THANK you for all your comments and help, this ways are always good to learn and teach our knowledge.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I am only looking to paint my own home but I simply can not afford to hire this job out so I will have to do it myself. But I want to do the best job possible. People like you are so kind for sharing the information freely. I hope your blessings are returned!

I consider a gesture of novelty to consider others that have the desire to lean but very little experience. Of course is easier for me not to do videos but that would not help others .

I got a few tubs of Valspar lying in my house. Been feeling lazy to do start the past few weeks. This video has motivated me to get to work. Thanks for the upload Opie😊

glad that I found this video :-) gonna paint .....got some confidence now. THANKS :-) :-) :-)

I must subscribe, you are a fantastic teacher/painter. Thank you for breaking that down for the RU-vid world on how to...

Well done, and I love the color. I've painted just about every wall in my house recently, including the kitchen cabinets! No painting projects in the near future, but I will use your tips to make the job easier next time. Now, why am I still watching painting videos?? lol

Great tips, spreading the paint around the wall the first time. Then doing it for real after... Genius. Thank you!

Nice job Hugo! Love the super positive personality too!

Hi Mr. Correa. Ive been a painter for more than 20 years. It takes me longer to paint a room similar to what you have on your video. Painting is the easiest part of the job. I like your rolling technique. It may be faster to use a 5 gallon bucket so you may move it around easily. Thanks

So what room did he paint in ten minutes?

Exactly. I think this is the best technique. The most efficient and time saving. I once made the mistake of saving 20% on a gallon of paint by going with a lesser brand and oh boy was that a mistake. I had to do four coats for an even look and it took longer to dry. So much work. Now I buy decent paint with primer and in 2 coats, Its done and looks great. No more cutting corners on paint cost :)

Can you please suggest good roller and kit that you are using in this video

Nice video, Thankyou. It looked so easy I thought, 'I should get my roller out and paint a room!' I'm an amateur painter and decorator and don't really have a process but watching your video made me think I should do. Thankyou for the information

With those savings you can have a vacation. :)

Excellent technique. Going to try this tomorrow after I get the baseboards removed. Thanks for posting this, Hugo!

I agree with David Malone. I know there is separate prep time but painting the corners and edges is still painting the wall and that's not included in your ten minutes. It definitely made your video less impressive...maybe you should say paint the easy part of the wall in ten minutes (which everyone can do anyway)...

Nice video for an amateur like me. I can tell this is your thing and I'm encouraged. Thanks!

Hugo, Hugo, Hugo...Get rid of that pan and use a 5gal bucket and screen. Also, use an adjustable pole. My bucket has a 9", 3" and small tube roller (with 2' handle) hanging out of it. My brush is stuffed in my back pocket (handle down, of course). I use the 9" to cut a wall at the ceiling, use the wet with a wet brush to quickly cut (may need a second coat) on a short ladder as I go around the room. I use the 3" for bottom trim and around plugs. I get within a 1/4" with a roller, eye on the edge. I do 2-3 jobs a day, about 3 hrs per, 3bdrm, 2 bath. Just so ya know (30 years and still kickin booty..

Thanks for sharing Hugo! I have a whole apartment to paint. This is a huge help!

this is how i do it. and it is very effective , and is faster. time is money ..

Seems very helpful. I am painting the living room this weekend. I will be sure to try this technique! Thanks!

are you using a 1/2 inch nap? you had so much coverage for so little dip

This video saved my life .. my room is done .. I needed this !! Legend !!

Whoops......one more thing. People out there in painting wonderland from Dave the pro painter from Kansas........... and I,m sure Hugo would agree......pleaseeeeeeee start using flat paints on your walls!!!!........The only walls I would use an eggshell or satin is in my kitchen and bathrooms. Never use semi glosses or full glosses on your walls!!!! If you use eggshells and satin sheens you will see every defect in your walls and will leave uneven streaks ect in your walls. Flat paints are beautiful and make your walls look buttery smooth and hide defects. Also the touchups are easier and you wont get "flashing" when you try to spot paint a repair or dirt mark. Also never clean your walls with a sponge or cloth in a hard circular motion or you will cause a flash to your walls whether you use a flat, eggshell, satin , semi gloss ect......always clean your walls with a hot dampened sponge and set it lightly over the dirt mark and tap it clean with soft taps and never rub it......flat paints are the way to go if you want a perfect looking paint job especialy on a long wall where natural light comes in......

Trying to get motivated to paint a bedroom. And I cant move all the furniture out of the room. But I will try this way. Keep up the videos, very motivating!!

I will make one for you

Yes, it is, look... The paint can itself teaches how to do it if nothing else, as Lon as you have paint to work with on your walls you will have those walls painted very quick. Protec the floors very well and have fun!!! Thank you I'm glad I was able to help :)

Not sure letting the paint sit on the wall like this is good

Such a good technique. Definitely going to try this. Thanks!

I agree with goatsears, that's not the right way to paint a wall, when you follow this technique even if you are using flat paint this can cause you to get roller marks on the walls, and those are hard to get off ones they dry, also get a 5 gallon bucket and a grid, even if it's Two gallons of paint, paint two feet at a time keep a wet edge, with flat paint you can stop on the middle of a wall and come back to it, just make sure you fade out the paint where you end up, don't leave it heavy, this technique is a handy man technique, good try though.

yea I tried to use your technique on a header above a garage I just kept dipping and got the paint on there then back rolled section by section thanks for the great technique my friend

That was just rolling a wall in 6 minutes, not a room in 10 minutes. What about the other walls and cutting in? The technique is good though.

Thank you for the complement, I am glad that I can help

Your getting over spray all over the baseboards.😔

I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

My boss would kill me if I ever rolled a wall like that

ive been painting for a few years and can move along pretty good but im going to give this method a shot on my next project and tell you how it worked for me speed ect. thanks always good to try out a new trick

That's a horrible painting technique smh

This is a great video! Thank you. I have only painted one other time when I was a young teenager & it was a disaster. So now I'm going to tackle my kids room & this video helped me believe I can do this & not have a wreck. Thank you again! All the best to you.

You mean how to paint a wall in 10 minutes

This was a great tip that I'd never considered before. Thanks for sharing!

He forgot to add in the time it took to go the paint store to get Tape,drop cloths, paint, brushes, roller frame, roller skin, roller pole, roller tray,the time to cut it in,setting up the drop cloths, removing switch plates, patching holes, sanding,the second coat,dry times in between coats, touch up, replacing the the hardware,cleanup.One person w/ no experience 8 hours.

You've inspired me to do my kid's rooms myself which will save me $$$$. Thanks!

lol this guy doesn't know what he's doing. 23 years painting experience here.

Hugo Correa thanks for the tutorial. I will now start my first painting room this weekend and have great confidence in the work I am about to preform, thank you again!!!!!!!!

Hi Hugo, your video just changed my mind from hiring someone to paint my house to doing it myself. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for sharing this informative and practical video. Very much appreciated Hugo.

Love this video. I am lazy and now motivated... I have one small laundry room to paint. Thank you mister.

Great technique. It's saved me a lot of time and money. Thanks

Respect @Hugo Great work ethic wish more people could really teach how to put on paint in a room

And dont listen to the hateres, im proud of you, for your position of knowledge sharing. GJ mate

Great tips. I have painted a lot of walls, but never like this. I always do the 4'x4' method, and it always needs a second coat, because the paint is never evenly dispersed. Great tips from a pro, and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I don't look forward to having to paint again, but when I do, this is how I'll do it.

Hey Hugo thanks heaps. In the midst if painting and this will help. Also don't concern urself with negative comments your attempting to help people and thats tge important thing.

There are plenty of them that I don't know, but the ones that I know I like to teach!! Thank you.

Gracias Hugo! I have 4 rooms to paint in my new house. This helped a lot!

Amazing technique. You're awesome. Master

I wish I would have watched this video a couple of weeks ago before I painted the whole main floor of my house. I could have saved myself a lot of grief. I do still have a lot of painting to do up the stairs and on the second floor so I will be using your technique for sure.

Nice work Hugo....I've done alot of painting...and learned that your techniques work very well...especially the "repainting" to make the walls homogeneous....Prepping and cutting in is always the most tedious and most important step for me at least.

Wow wish would've watched this been painting my room/ closet/ bathroom over the last few days glad finally done did a cool two tone in the in the main part of the room : )

Been painting for years! Found your tips very helpful! Thanks!!!🙏

Many thanks. I'm going to do tomorrow. Its safe time and extra hand of paint. X

Thank you for sharing. have a whole house I'm doing all by myself with a massive lounge...so daunting. This vid makes me feel a little better about starting it.

Good point, thank you for your constructive comments.

I'm glad I was able to help, enjoy your new knowledge!!! I may be a help in your future too!!

Hugo - thank you so much for your videos. It has been a great help in painting my house. I like your teaching style and dual languages. :-)

Awesome tip for painting the wall. THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for your tips, tricks & advice. Really appreciate it. Happy painting 😁 This was an awesome video by the way!!!

My two ways that increase production... Valspar 2000 or Glidden 220 are my "cheap" paints. I used to use Valspar 4000 and Glidden 440 (America's Best Value until a short time ago) a lot more, but much less now. I steer my customers to 100% acrylic paints. Much easier to work with, especially if there is a large color change. Valspar Ultra is my go-to paint most often these days. I get 9" Blue Hawk rollers at Lowes. They seem to be the same as "better" at Home Depot. This is my standard roller unless it is semi-gloss or gloss in a premium paint. Then I use Home Depot's "best". I have not liked working with Wooster rollers. A huge deal has been to use 1/2" nap on ceilings. Really throws a lot of paint up there, often you can get away with one coat. I use 3/8" only on walls. I may even try 3/4" nap soon. What has really kicked it into high gear for me is bigger better rollers. I use the 12" from Home Depot about 50% of the time. I have several $2 9" ones from Harbor Freight. The steel is much heavier than anyone else's. They are about 40% of my rolling. Brushes, I have a preference for Home Depot's "better" and "best", but also like Blue Hawks from Lowes. I have yet to see a good reason to buy a super expensive brush or roller cover yet. So "better" paint and tools always make a difference.

I only work P/T now so now I can concentrate on 2 hobbies. Brewing my own home brewing and creating pottery from my wheel and slab work. Just started fishing some. Spending more time with the wife. I have worked in many states including Hawaii. I had all of TGF's headquarters and restaurants in Dallas + other business there for several yrs. Had fun. I also owned a paint store and hung wallpaper for 20 yrs. Had one complaint. Enjoy your trade.

Thank you for this amazing technique ❤️❤️❤️

nice job hugo , well I m going to use your technique this week ,thaqnks for the video
