Lighten Up Your Living Space

Ceilings often get overlooked, but they yellow over time from cooking fumes, sunlight, and dust. A fresh coat of "ceiling white" reflects light, making your Seattle home feel brighter and more open, especially during our grey winters.

At Couple Of Guys Painting, we have the specialized equipment—tall ladders, scaffolding, and extension sprayers—to safely paint high or vaulted ceilings without the neck strain or risk of DIY.

Handling Different Textures

Every ceiling type requires a specific painting technique.

Smooth (Flat)

The modern standard. Requires the highest skill level to avoid roller marks (lap lines).

  • Dead-Flat Paint
  • Cross-Rolling
  • Easy to Repair

Knockdown / Orange Peel

Common in 90s Seattle homes. Textured surface hides minor drywall imperfections.

  • Thick Nap Rollers
  • Sprayer Application
  • Even Coverage

Popcorn / Acoustic

DELICATE

Extremely fragile. Rolling can cause the texture to peel off in sheets.

  • Spray Only
  • No Back-Rolling
  • Oil Primer (if stained)

Our Ceiling Process

Gravity is the enemy. We cover everything.

1

Cover & Protect

Painting a ceiling creates fine mist. We cover floors with drop cloths and drape all furniture and walls with plastic sheeting to create a protective bubble.

2

Stain Blocking

If there are water stains from old roof leaks, we spot-prime them with a shellac or oil-based primer. Water-based paint will not hide water stains.

3

Apply Paint

For flat ceilings, we roll with high-quality microfiber covers. For textured ceilings, we use an airless sprayer for even, non-destructive coverage.

4

Clean Up

We remove all plastic and drops, ensuring no paint specks are left on your floors or furniture. We leave your home cleaner than we found it.

Ceiling FAQs

Common questions from Seattle homeowners.

Do you paint popcorn ceilings?

Yes, we paint popcorn ceilings using a spray application method. This prevents the texture from getting wet and falling off, which often happens when using rollers on unpainted acoustic texture.

Can you cover water stains?

Absolutely. Water stains will bleed through regular latex paint. We spot-prime stains with a specialized oil-based or shellac stain-blocking primer before applying the finish coat to ensure they disappear forever.

Do I need to move furniture?

We ask that you remove small breakables. For larger furniture, we will help move it to the center of the room and cover it completely with plastic sheeting to protect it from any overhead drips or mist.
