A high-quality job is all about the tools. With roller covers, you can extend their life over several jobs without compromising quality. A quality roller should last up to 5 cycles before shedding. You can reuse it without affecting the quality of the paint application and over time it will end up paying for itself. Depending on the paint, most buckets can be washed out and reused for a long time. If you can't reuse one for paint, try putting paint supplies or other tools in the bucket - it's an easy and cost-efficient storage solution.
