Paint sprayer worth it?

Hi yall, I just purchased my first house and am looking to give every room a fresh coat of paint. I have been painting with a roller since I was a teenager (just family projects, nothing professional). But I am considering buying a sprayer in the $300 price range to help me do my new home. Especially since I plan on installing a fence and spraying it with stain. Also might paint the vinyl siding on the outside of my little ranch at some point... but anyway, I guess my question is, is the sprayer worth it? I never used one before and I see in youtube videos it takes like 5 minutes to paint a room. But then I saw some people say you still have to roll over it after, is that true? Also taping the entire room with plastic seems like a bit of a head ache. The house is about 1000sq foot. Should I just stick it out with rollers and paint brushes? Or go for the sprayer?? Thanks! submitted by /u/Cl2yptoN0ol3 [link] [comments]
