Paint a ceiling

Ceiling first, then walls.

4 min read

If you're painting the whole room, start at the top.

Tips

  • Use flat ceiling paint to hide imperfections
  • Use an extension pole instead of a ladder where you can
  • Wear safety glasses; drips happen
  • Roll in one direction for the final pass
  • Paint ceilings before walls
