Ceiling Painting in Everett, MA
Stain-blocking primer where there's water staining, then even coats that don't flash or lap.
On Everett properties
Most of what we paint in Everett is two- and three-family houses. Two- and three-families from the 1900s through the 1920s on small lots, plus brick multi-family along the main corridors. Everett buildings sit within a few feet of each other. Access is the constraint on every exterior job here.
How we do it
Stain-blocking primer where there's water staining, then even coats that don't flash or lap.
Water staining gets a shellac-based stain blocker, not another coat of ceiling white. Latex over a tannin or water stain lets it bleed straight back through, sometimes within days.
What usually fails
Flat ceiling paint applied in strips that dry before they're joined leaves lap marks that only show when the afternoon light rakes across them. Ceilings have to be cut and rolled wet-edge in one pass.
