As Sales Editor of Family Handyman and a self-identified DIY fanatic, I’m always looking for the best paint roller deals. If you’re like me and love to change up the colors in your home on a seasonal basis (yes, I’m a little obsessed with redecorating), you’ll appreciate the savings from these paint-related DIY deals.
How To Choose the Best Paint Rollers for the Job
As outlined in Family Handyman’s guide to paint rollers, paint roller frames and covers come in a wide variety of sizes. Some of the most common sizes include two-inch rollers for small projects and detailing, four-inch rollers for tight corners and the classic nine-inch rollers for painting wide strokes on a wall.
Covers are available in several different materials, ranging from woven or knitted synthetic—best for most projects—to lambswool and lambskin, which work well for oil-based paints. Foam rollers, thanks to the minimized laps lines, are ideal for natural substances like wood.
If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, these deals make it possible to stock up on a range of options so you’re prepared for anything—without brushing off your bank balance.

FAQ
How do you clean paint rollers?
Cleaning paint rollers efficiently requires the assistance of paint thinner when you’re working with oil-based paint, or water when working with latex. As with most paint-related projects, safety is key when cleaning supplies—always use gloves, a respirator and safety goggles when cleaning rollers and brushes.
Can you reuse paint rollers?
You can absolutely reuse paint rollers—to a point. When properly cleaned, paint rollers last for several applications. After a while, though, the fuzzy materials often deteriorate, leading to uneven coats. If you plan to reuse a paint roller multiple times for one project, keep the roller moist after removing the paint by covering it with plastic wrap to prevent dried-on flakes.
Otherwise, we recommend using a new roller cover for every project. Stock up on painting essentials with these paint roller deals for a flawless finish every time!
