It’s not the difficult task you’re imagining it to be. In reality, when you’ve updated a room by painting the walls, it wouldn’t hurt to paint the ceiling. The room will have a totally fresh look.

Here are the supplies are needed when you’re going to tackle the ceiling painting. You may have them on hand already because you’re also doing an interior painting in Hamilton.

·        an extension rod

·        9” roller (discuss with your supplier what to use if you’re painting a popcorn ceiling)

·        paint tray

·        paint tray liners

·        drop cloths

·        painters tape

·        angled brush

·        ceiling paint

·        primer

·        better yet, purchase a ceiling paint and primer all-in-one product

The actual painting of the ceiling isn’t much different than painting a wall. Just don’t forget to prep the ceiling and take your time.

Follow these steps to paint your ceiling:

1.      Clean and dust the ceiling. Clean off any marks and a feather duster should the trick in taking care of the dust.

2.      Apply the painter tape to the walls attached to the ceiling. Use the widest tape you can purchase.

3.      If you discover cracks, now is the time to time to take care of them.

4.      Cut in at the edges. This is when the angled brush is used.

5.      Roll on the primer then let it dry for 30 mins then apply the ceiling paint. If you bought an all-in-one ceiling paint, this step is even easier.

-         make sure you don’t have too much paint on your roller to avoid the ceiling paint from splattering

6.      Apply additional coats. Generally, 2 coats will suffice.

7.      Do any touch ups and clean up.

While you’re waiting for to apply the second coat of ceiling paint, slide the tray in to a garbage bag and brushes in to a sandwich bag. It’s also a good idea to keep damp paper towels handy while you’re working in case you touch the walls with ceiling paint. Some folks keep a box of baby wipes nearby to use when dealing with accidents.
