I’ve hired two professionals now. One came in a taped like you described, and accounted for that time in the quote. The other charged less and did a better job overall because they didn’t tape. They said real professionals just cut in.
Damn, that’s interesting! I’d think like any profession, some are just that good?
I’m a “better-safe-than-touch-up these fucking baseboards until I’m screaming” kinda person, so I’ll splurge my time on taping. I also tend to paint with strong-ass pigments, so I don’t wanna try to fix those blunders, haha. The previous owners of our home basically had the entire interior sprayed with matte ceiling paint over plaster when they moved out, so the kitchen, stairwell, and bathrooms are going to pros, especially so they can be done in succession. I just wanna be able to easily wash my flippin’ walls.
