A paint roller apparatus with edging shield and brush facilitating the painting of a surface (70) that lies adjacent to another surface that is not to be painted contemporaneously. The apparatus comprises a roller cover (58), a shield (22), a brush (28), and a hand grip (20). The brush (28) is affixed to the shield (22), and the shield (22) is connected to a shield arm (34) that is rotatably mounted on the handle (20). The shield arm (34) can rotate between a paint loading position and a paint application position. In the paint loading position, shield arm (34) is rotated away from roller cover (58) about an axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the roller cover (58). Said roller cover can then be immersed in paint without getting any paint on the shield (22). When the shield (22) is in the paint application position, essentially perpendicular and adjacent to the longitudinal axis of the roller (58), said roller may be placed in contact with the surface to be pained (70) and painting may begin. The shield (22) in the paint application position blocks the unwanted application of paint to the adjacent surface. A brush (28) of predetermined size, shape, and stiffness is mounted onto the shield (22) such that the bristles, or other paint application portion of the brush (28), angle into the edge of the surface to be painted (72) and extend to the edge of the surface to be painted (70), but not onto the adjacent surface. In operation, the roller (58) applies the paint up to a short distance from the edge of the surface (72) and the brush (28) then takes some of the paint on the surface (70) and applies it up to the edge (72).
