Ceiling Painting in Weymouth, MA

On Weymouth properties

Most of what we paint in Weymouth is postwar capes and older northern housing. Two-families and older single-families in the north, 1950s–1970s capes and ranches through the middle and south, and waterfront homes at Wessagusset and Idlewell. Wessagusset, Idlewell and the harbour frontage take salt off the water. Exterior specs there need to account for it.

What actually happens on site

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.

Where these jobs go wrong

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.
