How to paint a high-rise ceiling Housing contractors frequently purchase derelict factories, churches and schools to convert into swanky living space. The condos and apartments in these repurposed buildings are highly sought after thanks to their unique architectural characteristics. High ceilings are among the most visually striking of these features, but they can be quite the chal- lenge to paint. If yours is in need of a fresh coat, follow these ten steps to success. 1. Cover floors and furniture with plastic tarps or newspa- per. 2. Open the windows to help the paint dry faster. 3. Install scaffolding or a stable ladder tall enough for the job. 4. Fill in holes and cracks with plaster and sand down the
repaired areas to even out the surface. 5. Wipe down the entire ceiling with a non-abrasive clea- ning solution and a lint-free cloth. 6. Carefully section off the area with painter’s tape. 7. Prepare your paint by stirring it thoroughly with a woo- den stick. Apply a coat of primer first if needed. 8. Start by painting the borders with a regular paintbrush. Make sure to always have a damp cloth within reach to clean up little messes or mistakes made along the way. 9. Apply paint to the main surface area using a roller in nice even strokes. Don’t press too hard, and follow the room’s natural lighting for a better view of your progress. 10.Let the paint dry completely before applying a second coat.
