I am preparing to purchase a new house and according to wife every room in the house will need to be painted.
The room is roughly divided into rooms with ceramic tile and rooms that had carpet. The previous owners were negligent dog owners and the dogs destroyed the carpeted areas in the house. Therefore, in most of the rooms, I'm dealing with finished sheet rock, some ugly trim, and subfloors.
The wallspace that needs to painted in the rooms with only subfloor total roughly 2300 square feet. I know that I'm looking at roughly 6-7 gallons if I use rollers and brushes.
I am considering renting an airless sprayer for the subfloor rooms because I don't paint alot (kindof hate painting) and wagners appear to be junk. I've getting quotes of around $70-$85 dollars a day for an airless sprayer.
Will it be cost effective to rent an airless sprayer? (All walls are currently painted flat white)
How much time can I save? Cound an inexperienced guy finish painting in one 24 hour period?
How much better is the finish? Should I backroll?
Any thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated. I've been a long time reader of this forum but just signed up today. I hope to become more involved in the community. Thanks.
