Ceiling Painting
Ceilings take a beating from light, smoke, steam and leaks, and they are the hardest surface to paint well. We use the right primer, flat ceiling paint and a steady hand so the finish looks even from every angle.

Questions
About ceiling painting
Why do ceilings need special paint?
Ceiling paint is usually flat and thicker, so it hides flaws and does not reflect light. It also spatters less, which helps overhead.
Will a water stain come back?
Once the leak is fixed and the area is sealed with stain-blocking primer, the stain should not return. If a stain keeps growing, there may still be moisture to fix.
