Ever heard a painter say "hat banding"? 🎨

It's when the cut-in at the top of the wall stands out from the rest of the surface after painting.

In other words:
• The band near the ceiling looks different
• The sheen or texture doesn't match
• You notice that "stripe" effect once the wall dries

And just to clarify, the photo here is NOT hat banding.
It was simply taken before we rolled the walls.

Little paint details like this matter because the goal is a smooth, consistent finish from top to bottom. ✅

Have you ever noticed something off in a freshly painted room, but weren't sure what caused it? 👀
