Essential Information from a Ceiling Painter
Posted on January 26, 2022
When homeowners typically think about painting their house, their minds immediately go to walls and trim. They often ignore one area that can make a drastic difference in the feel of their home: the ceiling. Painting the ceiling is an easy and impactful way to make your space feel completely different. In this article, our professionals will share all the essential information you need to know to take on a ceiling painting project. After all, CertaPro Painters® are the best ceiling painter in the Northern Jackson area. So, let’s get started!
When to Paint Your Ceiling
When You’d Like a Style Change:
The paint and texture up there can make a world of difference for your space! The right paint color can make a room feel taller and larger. It also has the potential to shrink a space and make it feel more cozy. Additionally, many homes built in the late 1900s and early 2000s feature a textured ceiling. While it was popular for its time, most homeowners now see this texture as outdated. You can jump into the 21st century by removing this texture and painting your ceiling a complimentary color.
When There is Damage or Fading:
If your ceiling has sustained any damage or if the paint up there is fading, it is probably time for a fresh coat of paint. Make sure that you are figuring out the source of the problem before getting too far into the project, though. Putting on a new coat of paint will make the ceiling look better, but it may deteriorate at a faster pace.
Ceiling Painting Tips
Prep the Room:
The first step to getting a great ceiling finish is to do the proper preparation work. Ultimately, there isn’t much difference between painting a ceiling and painting a wall. We make sure to protect your furniture with tarps, wear the proper safety equipment, and clean the surface well. Because of the nature of the job, we typically put down more drop cloths than we would for a simple wall painting.
Use the Right Paint:
This may sound like a simple task, but with so many options and options out there, it can be hard to know which paint is the right paint for your project. No worries, we’re here to help. The first step is to look specially for ceiling paint. If you can find a ceiling paint that includes paint and primer in one, you’ll be in even better shape.
