To learn how to repair your ceiling before painting watch 👉🏼 ua-cam.com/video/gSXFjWVdHvA/v-deo.html cheers!
It actually does help deflect noise a bit when you have a space that's open with a lot of hard surfaces . I live in an old house With laugh and plaster walls and hardwood floors . The reason that a lot of this was put in was to catch the echoes and bouncing sound and it actually works a little bit … In the main open part of the house where you'd think you would echo more the living room and dining room have this ceiling but the bedroom never had it done. .. When I was moving in the bedrooms That didn't have it definitely echoed sound out of them much more than the rooms that did have it
Hi there, My husband died last year, and I have lots of tubes of caulk, but it is all silicone for kitchen and bathroom.
I won't be ready to paint for a least a week. Can I use this instead of quick dry to put an edge between
the ceiling and wall?
Also, could you tell me which Caulk has the high gloss finish for around sinks and tubs? The ones my hubby bought have a dull finish.
Thanks so much
@HomeRenoVisionDIY I am actually looking to have popcorn ceilings installed and was curious how to add the glitter. I cant find any video on how to add it but i grew up around it and want it. Any advice is appreciated.
Great Video Jeff! I use those foam roller 20 years ago! Never like them. The loose stipple eventually fill the roller after a while. Paint pick up is less having to go to the tray more often. I prefer a 20 to 25 mil sleeve. Holds tons of paint. I just finished 2 bedroom ceilings today! Rooms 12x20 rolled one half then the other half. I agree, I only use FLAT paint for my ceilings! Cheers! Love your videos! The Gooseneck Guy!
We bought a smoker's house that had popcorn ceilings, with some dirt and tar buildup. With no way to clean it and needing it move-in ready in a matter of days, we used a 3/4 inch nappy roller, kilz and then paint, gave it 2 coats over in different directions, and it still looks great 4 years later.
Did it get rid of the smell?
Hey Jeff, I just want to take a second to thank you sooo much for these videos. I have been able to take what I have learned from your videos and go down to florida and volunteer with a non-profit organization and help people get back on their feet whether it be demo work or helping them rebuild their homes. So thanks a ton and keep up the good work!
Great job! Wish i could do that!
Amen
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Jeff, if you ever need a home to work on in North Bay with a free production crew (me!!) let me know!
Awesome videos.
I wanted to share a roller tip I use. When painting the ceiling, start rolling about 12-18 inches away from wall. Area you start usually has the most paint, and you can go back over that spot to even it out if needed
That's a great idea!
If you damp the roller ( soak in water and wrap it with your fingers the ok sign and run it across to drain out as much water as possible) your paint edges are smooth and flowing. It gets few minutes slower to dry and that’s great to overlap edges without seeing streak lines. I did that on my ceiling with just one coat, no visible streak lines. This is how fine artists do on canvas.
I stood on a portable aluminum ladder, used a medium roller, and painted it like I would any other ceiling, using and overlapping crisscross pattern. No problems, turned out beautifully. Most people can't paint a ceiling steadily from the floor, unless it's 7.5 feet or lower. My ceilings are slightly over 8 feet tall.
That said, it's easier for a homeowner, who isn't a professional painter doing it everyday, to use a ladder. At least, that's my experience, having remodelled 3 homes during my lifetime.
I repaired the popcorn ceiling in my spare bedroom. I used a roller and Dunn Edward's primer and it actually matched the original color of the ceiling! Yes, it took about 3 gallons of primer to finish off the room.
On a separate note, a roofing contractor put his foot through my other bedroom ceiling (condo) so they hired another contractor to repair the hole in the ceiling and painted it. He used a spray gun and it turned out krappy, but better than what was there before.
My father was a painter and I learned from him not to use a spray gun if you can help it.
Best roller tip for ceilings in my opinion is ditching the cage 9" roller. Go to a double-ended 12" or 18" with a 15mm knap for semi-smooth surfaces. I've painted numerous textured ceilings in BC, Canada with no problems and its incredibly fast because of the doubled surface area coverage per roll
Glad I watched this! Always helpful to know the tools of the trade!
After looking at Paint Rollers for Popcorn Ceilings, I read about Wooten Popcorn/Acoustical paint brush for Popcorn Ceilings. I used a regular paint brush as you demonstrated, it did the job,but it was not as easy.
Great video not too long and very informative. Definitely helped me out as I’m about to repaint a popcorn ceiling for my mom so no pressure lol
Thanks. Best video out there. My ceiling looks great!
Awesome!! Love the content! Thanks so much for sharing and giving us your tips
My pleasure!!
Thanks. I'm starting a high $ interior job for a couple that can lead to lots of other good jobs.
Wow thats a great tip love it and will be trying
Grabbing a bucket of popcorn to watch this one and relax since I won't have to worry about dealing with this issue!
Loving it!
You're the best, thank you for the lesson.
This gives me some Bob Ross vibes and I love it. So grateful for all this helpful information!
Really helpful! Thanks!
I wish I had these brilliant tips last week, when I had to paint a room. Thanks a lot for the video anyway!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the awesome tip.
Hey that’s a really good tip. (Caulking the corner)
Thank you so very much for the video. We rent an apartment for 12 years, and the ceiling got grey. I was looking for an option I can use by myself to repaint it. I will definitely try a foam roller!
Great tips! 👍 I'm so thankful that I've never had popcorn ceilings to deal with. What a monumental pain! 🤯
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your information I will appreciate.
Thank for the tips will try this weeken
Thanks Jeff! If you run into this, can you please make a video of how you patch, paint, and colour/texture match a popcorn ceiling when replacing, say, an old light fixture with pot-lights.
Yes 👍
Short and simple video, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Another timely video, awesome!
Cheers JK
Did two coats on my popcorn ceiling with a roller and there's lines. 😂
Thanks for the video, been auper annoyed with it and been delayed waiting to do my floors because of this.
Thanks Jeff ....very helpful tutorial 👍❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Wow . Thanks . This posted just in time for my honey do list .
Perfect!
Super helpful. I'm about to have a paint a popcorn ceiling soon, but the previous inhabitant painted it blue...I'm not sure what kind of paint it is. Should I use a certain type of paint that won't show the blue after a couple of coats?
Thank you very helpful
Thank you!!
Thank you!
We just got a house where the smokers smoked in it for 28 years so the popcorn ceiling is disgusting and yellow, but it’s so expensive to get it removed, so to me this an amazing option for us.
Your the real MVP
Thanks for the video! We have a high ceiling with a crease in the middle at the high point. Is it best to start at the center high point and work down toward the walls and windows? I’m so nervous to mess this up!
I’ve done exactly the same to my garage’s ceiling.
Thank you!!!!!
Hey Jeff, is it cool if you can show us a video of how to remove a popcorn ceiling? It would be interesting to know how to do it
I am sure we will get to that. Cheers!
All I want to know is how to destroy my popcorn ceiling without actually destroying my ceiling.
Also asbestos stuff
Hire out asbestos removal. Get professional help and stay safe.
We did our popcorn ceilings (1300 sqft home). If it’s never been painted you can just spray with water and scape it off. If it’s painted like ours was, we had to dry scrape first. This cut away many of the low points allowing water to penetrate the actual texture material. Than spray with water and scrape it free. A light orange peel texture after to hide any imperfections and it’s “perfect every time.”
Take a small sample & have it analyzed for asbestos. Found out mine is a level 1. No big deal. Some are worse. If yours is worse, have it removed by the pros. A lot safer that way.
When painting an unpainted popcorn ceiling are you using a water based paint or oil based.
Do you have a recommended acrylic free ceiling paint to use? Everything Sherman Williams and Behr seem to have acrylic in them.
Hi Jeff, thank you for this video. I will be starting popcorn ceiling painting soon. I did not find any link to slit foam roller. In Amazon, there is not much options to select from. Can you please provide the link and NAP size of the roller. I will be using either ProMar 200 or Spec Rite; both FLAT sheen. Please advise.
Hi, quick question do we have to use primer to paint popcorn ceiling? We are using behr ultra white interior ceiling paint and as we start painting the popcorn ceiling starts falling off
You are awesome all this free lesson you're giving away all because you believe in helping other people make money that is so good about you I always like looking at your video because it's always something to learn thank you so much for sharing
You are so welcome
Stalactites?? 🤣 That's about how my stipple ceilings look to me!! Thanks for the tutorial, Jeff!!
Wow Sandy, souds like you have an old plaster ceiling. Cheers!
ty
I’m so glad I found your video! I’m about to paint my popcorn ceiling(which I absolutely hate!!). I’m ordering the split foam roller, I had already bought a regular roller, so thanks for the save!!
Hi I want to paint a fan patterned textured ceiling that has had a wood burning stove in it for many yrs. The ceiling is no longer white. Do you recommend a primer first?
Having a hard time finding non-acrylic ceiling paint. Can you recommend? I'm in Canada as well - ideally something I can find at Rona, Lowes or Home Depot. Thanks!
What paint do you recommend? All the ceiling paint I was looking at was acrylics based.
As a professional I refuse to do them. Almost every time I get large patches that become detached from the surface and goop up the roller as well as fall to the floor. The loose areas are probably already to drop and waiting to get a bit wet to make a mess. I have sprayed them before with perfect results but just find it easier to move on to another job.
if I paint the popcorn ceiling, can I still remove it in the future with the spray/moisture method?
Yup. Been there sooooooo many times! I haven't seen anyone local that actually carries the split foam rollers though. And I've asked direct at sherwin williams and PPG.
Weird. in my area even lowe's and home depot have them. Cheers Exit
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I'll check again at the box stores. Every time I ask someone they look at me like I'm speaking Swahili.
Come sifi mumbu koi!
you are right
Hey Jeff,
I did the same thing you did when you were young and “flattened” out the paint on my ceiling. I see streaks. Is there any other way to fix this without taking the popcorn off? Can I try the foam roller now?
what kind of pain should you use to pain popcorn ceiling?
What is the best paint brand to use for popcorn ceilings?
To prevent roller marks Jeff you want to roll one way, then come back and roll the opposite way. Do the same with spraying the ceiling as well. Trust me, I’ve done it for years. Zero complaints
What about an unprimed unpainted popcorn ceiling? I knew going in that I was going to use more paint because it hasn’t been previously primed or painted.
The issue I’m having is roller marks like crazy. Even after the second coat.
I used a foam split roller and rolled in both directions and still have roller marks.
You can only see the mark when looking at the ceiling from one direction. Looking from the other direction the ceiling looks fine.
What do I do now? Should a 3rd coat fix it?
Ok, my ceiling is like little sunshines or flowers...can you use the regular roller for it?
Can I use the split foam roller on stipple ceilings that were already painted by previous owner???
Oooh sick tip re: the roller! Exactly what I was looking for as I had a feeling a regular one wouldn't do. Now to paint my nephew's bedroom black... x'D
Horrible 😮good luck trying to repaint his room after he's gone 😂
Can you give us the link for that special popcorn ceiling roller brush?
I hate those "popcorn" ceilings. Our house came with it, and for years we dealt with it with cobwebs in the texture, dirt, dust, and raining down the "popcorn" crap. Finally was able to start a remodel and paint job to our rooms, and started to paint it with a roller, didn't like how it was looking with the "popcorn' still there, and decided to remove it. I took a simple 14 inch sheetrock blade that screwed to an extension, a spray bottle of water, and sprayed lightly, scraped, and took the junk off. A little Kilz primer, then flat white paint. Goodbye crap "popcorn".
yeah i just bought a house that has it. what a nightmare.
How flat was the ceiling once you were done? Contemplating doing the same but I’m worried about making it look straight.
@@monicaolaru5228 Removing the popcorn stuff wasn't too hard but a messy thing. A little spritz of water mist, wait a few seconds or so, scrape it off with a knife. Once you do it you can smooth it out by sanding it. I wouldn't say it leaves it too straight or flat but it's better than popcorn junk. You'd need to let it dry for a couple days or so before sanding or doing anything else to make sure it's dried out well. You can look around to see if you got all the popcorn stuff and here you can even do detailed sanding for smoothness or leave it rough, maybe even splatter a little sheetrock mud here and there and smear it around if you want a little more less smooth...lol. Once you remove it and let it dry you can see what feels good for you. Just be ready to get dirty, floors dirty, and feel like you've been in a popcorn popper yourself...lol. Good luck.
@@TimfromAlabama Sigh. Thank you, appreciate you sharing the penance that is popcorn ceiling 🙂
I've never been a fan of the popcorn ceiling and I believe it just makes it that much easier to make a breeding ground for dust bunnies and cobwebs....but anyways...still liked this video to show support for the channel! 😇😎
Cheers jeffrey!
Do you remove the caulking after painting?
Does popcorn texture on a ceiling really help in dampening echo noise in a large room with a concrete floor?
Hi. How to fix a popcorn ceiling that is too glossy? We painted a small part of our ceiling and it looks glossy. We have used the inceorrect paint I guess. Thank you
Had to be so careful on the popcorn. Too much paint from the roller and ..... popcorn would get soggy. Also used a wide brush with little paint and just skimmed the popcorn, would let it dry , and do the same thing again. Had to cross strokes for coverage . That worked--but man, what a job.
There is a danger to painting popcorn ceilings. Years ago, I painted them until one day i found the entire dining room ceiling hanging down in large strips.
I painted, like usual, but a day or 2 later it was catastrophe!
Now if you hate popcorn ceilings why then it can be a cheap way to remove popcorn ceilings!
With the Internet now a thing, I learned that if you put too much latex on, the ceiling gets too wet and dissolves the bond between the texture and the drywall.
There is a primer you can use to negate this I have just learned.
Learned because it is time once again to face those ceilings.
IMO the best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is with a water sprayer and a nice scraper.
😂
Great job, why didn’t you spray the ceiling?
Hello you said that you are not using acrylic, so are you using latex or oil paint?
How do you get all of this stuff done? I work a fairly standard 40 hours. And try to work nights and weekends on projects around the house. I'm just constantly tired (mentally and physically) and can't get enough done. Now with the cold (Wisconsin) and the dark I'm getting less done. I'm fairly young (31), in good shape, and handy.
How do people find time and energy to get stuff done?
If you ever figure it out please let me know 😩
You gotta have inspiration for a better future that pullis you forward. I listen to cool audiobooks of amazing people and think if they can do anything, I can too. Also help if you are curious about DIY or whatever you are doing. I also listen to motivational videos from YT and if that doesn't help, music that gets me pumped.
Popcorn ceilings?? What years is it?!?! 😂
Just kidding haha. Always appreciate learning from you
😁
Personally I'd use a heavier nap, 3/4" or 1". Hold more paint, less dipping. Knock your edge off and back roll after a couple dips.
I got stomp ceiling and it very spiky… just fix little area but that new spot didn’t match the old color … now I need to repaint all to white just to match the new one … what can I do since it not smooth… search all the video there no video got that spike stomp like mine,.. :(
👍👍
I'm confused I want to paint my popcorn ceiling that has not ever been painted before can I use bher BEHR PREMIUM PLUS Interior Ceiling paint # 558. Home Depot said that I cant use it because the popcorn has never been painted before can you recommend a paint for me ?
Friendly tip! Hey Jeff, I would make it much easier cutting up their quick using the Gooseneck paint brush on a pole. Walk around the room in 10 seconds. Eliminates going up and down a ladder. I prefer 20 mil. One full roller will only get a span of 1 x 6. Don't go over the same area or else it will peel off. Foam rollers clog up with stipple. Cheers! Don
1st coat of primer?
I already painted by regular brush twice still haven’t feeling even ,,,,😢 and the colour looks different then my wall and no clear line between wall 😂😂😢😢what can I do next
I would like a tool that would magically transform my popcorn ceilings into non-popcorn ceilings.
It is called a drywall panel lift. laminate a new layer of drywall. Cheers!
Isn't popcorn ceiling bad for your health? Can you do a video removing popcorn ceiling?
You should never paint over a popcorn ceiling. I know someone who works at CertaPro. They said once the paint dries, it’ll just start falling off the ceiling in chunks
I would just want to get rid of a popcorn ceiling
I agree, however for folks who have asbestos this is still a very practical way to encapsulate and make the room fresh and clean. Cheers!
In certain older homes, even if your textured ceiling is asbestos free, the plaster of the day can now be rock hard, and very resistant to removal. Not everyone is willing or able to tackle such a texture removal.
@@Matthew_Lavers the idea is to get it wet enough where the popcorn comes off easily.
popcorn is not supposed to be rock hard.
Slap some drywall over it.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY not enough asbestos to matter. I did an asbestos sample once, and the report said there was only 2% asbestos in the popcorn.
Anyone who wets the popcorn enough can remove this crap pretty harmlessly
I've read that people are putting shiplap to get rid of popcorn ceilings
Wait, why are you using a roller pan?
That’s some Harry Homeowner stuff
Don't you have to seal the ceiling first with a oil primer first before using latex ?
only if you have stains. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY no not if it's fresh stucco it always needs a oil primer
Or just scratch a line in the corner with a flathead screwdriver.
How do you soundproof waste pipes
spray foam the pipe. Cheers!
How about getting rid of that texture? Just bought a house that has it and it drives me and my wife nuts.
spray it with a water sprayer, then scrape. Easier than painting this crap.
lots of youtube videos on this.
I got this stuff on walls.. paint it as soon as possible with washable paint.. if you don't it gets dirty easily, cleaning is a pain, and you damage the structure easily... Sadly i learned this by experience.
1/2 inch is 12.5mm
Cheers!
First comment
Cheers Davanna!
Don't try to roll a popcorn ceiling. Use a paint sprayer and you won't have any of those issues. Tape the edges of the walls off and hang plastic, so then you don't have to paint your walls afterwards.
That takes way too long have same or better results and faster with a roller and brush
How about spray ceiling and then the walls. Just cover the floor, would that work
