Help Choosing the Right Color To Paint Your Ceiling
Finding the best paint color for your ceiling may be your biggest decision to move your ceiling project forward.

Other Professional Tips from William Nunn as Published in the Handyman Magazine
Use a Stain-Blocking Primer to Cover Flaws: Roof leaks, overflowing sinks, tobacco smoke, and big spills can all leave ugly ceiling stains or dinginess that is impossible to conceal with plain old paint. But cover the stain with a coat of stain-blocking primer and your troubles are over.
The traditional favorite is white pigmented shellac. You can buy spray cans of pigmented shellac, but usually, it’s easier to brush it on. Just don’t forget to pick up some ammonia or denatured alcohol to clean your brush. If you’re painting over a ceiling that’s yellow from smoke, roll a coat of shellac over the entire ceiling before painting with latex.
Sand Before You Paint: Over time, and as the layers of paint build up, bumps and crud can get stuck to the ceiling. On untextured ceilings, it’s a good idea to start with a quick once-over sanding with 100-grit drywall sanding paper. This helps ensure a perfectly smooth paint job and increases paint bonding. The easiest way to do this is with a sanding pole. When you’re done sanding, wipe the ceiling with a damp sponge to remove the dust.

Project Details When Painting A Minneapolis Ceiling
When painting a large ceiling section, it is important to avoid leaving lap marks. Our team is experienced in just the right handle pressure and technique to roll the nearly dry roller in different directions along the dry edge, feathering out the paint as we proceed. After completing one full length of the wall or ceiling, we progress to the next section and paint over the feathered edges. Most often we then apply the second coat of paint in the opposite direction. This crisscrossing paint application process typically eliminates lap marks.
We will take care of:
- Measure the rooms height, width, and depth.
- Determining how much paint is needed.
- Covering the floor with plastic and taping to prevent paint getting under the plastic onto the floor.
- Thoughtful protection of your room’s furnishing while we are completing the Twin Cities interior home painting project.
- Ensuring any new paint shades won’t have the old color bleed through.
- Sealing up any left over cans of paint properly in-case you need to do touch ups later.
- Everything else that ensures your satisfaction with painting your home’s ceilings.
