Things You Will Need
Painting a water-damaged ceiling is also significantly cheaper than replacing a ceiling stained by water.
-
Check to be sure that whatever caused the water damage has been repaired and allow the ceiling to dry completely.
-
Lay out your drop cloth on the floor under where you will be painting.
-
Pour some primer into the roller pan and use the paint roller to apply a coat of primer to the ceiling. Allow to dry overnight.
-
Use the paint roller to apply the latex paint to the ceiling, allow the first coat to dry overnight, then apply a second coat.
-
Use the paintbrush to go around any edges or spots that you cannot reach with the roller.
