The first step to any painting project is preparation. having a good sanding and priming job is the beat way to guarantee you will be happy with the finished ceiling.
In order to apply primer you must remember to apply pressure in order to push the paint into the drywall and then lightly back roll to remove extra paint from the surface.
After you have primed I always suggest you sand with a 220 grit sandpaper to ensure any defects have been removed.
The secret to a great ceiling painting job is to paint the first and second coats in opposite directions. This will enable you to have perfect paint coverage and to finish rolling in the same direction as the sun coming into the room.
Always do a light sanding in between every coat of paint. On a ceiling I suggest using a flat paint with no acrylic additive. This gives you great coverage and reduces the chance of seeing the paint lines after you are done. It also helps you do touch up work without seeing the new work.
When painting a ceiling always remember to use a long painting pole and keep your hands below your heart. This will help fight against fatigue and make the job much easier.
The secret to a perfect ceiling paint finish is to cut and roll while keeping the leading edge of the paint wet so that everything can melt together.

Home RenoVision DIY hey Jeff can you do a video on how to install laminate on stairs? I don’t think you have a video for that. Thanks! Viewer from Ottawa 😀
Where can I find this paint?
I cannot find that paint anywhere!
Hi, I was thinking to purchase wooster roller frame online. Is this frame stiff, not bending under the pressure?
Hi...What kind of paint are you using?
This dude is the Dave Attell of home improvement...just tip after tip after tip. No waste whatsoever.
I've been a DIY painter since my teen years and always washed down the walls before painting. So my question is, after using your 360 sander on the ceilings or walls, do you have to wipe it down before rolling the paint?
I just want to say on behalf of all the women. Thank you for making this video for all of us. Regardless if you are a woman or a man you make the videos so simple to do. You make the renovation videos simple and to the point. You took the fear out of me and installed empowerment that I can install a dimmer, water heater and etc. Once again thank you I enjoy and love watching your videos.
Hi Frenchie, I wanted to say that YOU for all of your comments. We really appreciate you taking the time. Cheers!
Why is anything different for women?
Quick tip, if you are priming your ceiling and walls with the same paint, use a little 4 inch rollers for your corners, you can get right into the corner, gives you a roller finish instead of brush and its 3 times quicker.
Jeff, you are the BOB ROSS of home renovation!!! My wife and I are in the process of stripping a popcorn ceiling and repainting a downstairs area 30x18!!! You are awesome!
You're a very good teacher. Explain why some things must be done, make process easy to understand and additional effort worth a while. I did quite some work in my life already, live in Europe so some things differ, but I still like watching your videos for those small details that make a difference. And a bit of humor coming with it ;) Thanks!
First time home buyer and Im about to paint the entire house and renovating , it will be the first time I’ve ever painted but I must admit after watching 90% of your videos in a month my confidence has certainly sky rocketed that I can do it
I lost my father to pancreatic cancer 2 years ago, a few months after my husband and I bought our first house. My dad was an amazing engineer. He showed his love best by helping my siblings and I with car mechanics, plumbing, electrical, tiling, whatever -- and whatever we were doing, or whatever problem we had, we knew we could call him if we needed him. I didn't get to learn everything I could from him before he died, so I just wanted to say thank-you, for sharing your kindness and knowledge in these videos, and for enabling me to feel confident about doing these sorts of things myself. I feel his abundance of love with me when I work on my home, and help my family and friends with theirs.
One is never to old or experienced in their trade to learn. You are a good teacher. No painter wants to jump out of bed and paint ceilings all day. It is painful no matter what size pole one uses. As for the direct sunlight issue in your teachings, you are 100% correct. I see this mistake time and time again on ocean front properties where the light bounces off the water from the sun. One can see roller marks and shadows all over the ceiling if it is rolled out in the wrong direction.
Painted my ceiling yesterday. Streaks free after watching this video. Love your videos
Mr. Thorman, great content as usual. My wife and I took one of our bedrooms back to the studs (no insulation present initially) and used your drywall videos as our guide through that part. Thank you again for the great content! Your videos explain everything so well.
Way to go Russell, enjoy your comfortable new space. Cheers!
I really enjoy your videos. They are informative, clear and concise with everything beginners and even advanced decorators need to know. I am currently redecorating my home in China, and after hiring a team of local contractors to do some of the work for me, I was left a little more than disappointed. So I decided to take the work on myself.
Your videos have helped me a lot. From framing in the basement, to kitchen remodelling. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks David, and Cheers to China!
Just painted the basement ceiling with the first coat. Excited to see how the final coat turns out. This video definitely helps, THANKS!!!
where did you find this paint?
I have learned a few things that I think are going to help from your drywall sanding and painting videos... I'm just starting out doing general construction and im trying to learn how to get faster
Out of necessity, I've been painting where I've lived since the age of 16. Self taught and started with Sears Best paint! It wasn't bad and I got better. But I look forward, now 50 + years later to do a large room this spring. Jeff, this was such an informative and very educational video, as all your projects are. Thank you very much not just for the ideas and presentation but all your details and short cuts, you're the man!
This howto is by far the best i have seen on this topic and i have seen a ton... pure gold and i am sure, the dislikers are professional painters being afraid.
Jeff, After doing the work for a month shy of 50 years, I always find watching you relaxing and soothing. Takes up my days in retirement. Love your videos, keep it up.
Thanks for this informative and ez to understand video! My biggest takeaway: make the last roll in the same direction that light enters the room; particularly important for me as I live in a row home and I need any light to be seen at its best advantage!!
Yes, hello using my daughter account just so happy to finally finished my last part of painting my bathroom. Again thank you Mr. Jeff .
Don't forget Coffee ,lunch ,music and a happy moment.
Feeling so good. Nilda E. Guerrero ♥😘 lmao
❤❤❤
One of the most informative videos I have ever watched.
Thank you!
Awesome tip on keeping your hands low on the pole Iam a painting contractor for over 25 to 30 years and many times i use the shorter pole I'm grabbing the 4 -8 ft extension on the next
ceiling LOL
Thanks love the vids
Dumb question for you Jeff. After you sand with the 220 and before your 2nd coat, do you wipe down the ceiling with a damp cloth?
Excellent video!I like to mix some powder chalk(used in a chalk line) into my mud when doing prime check.That way I can see my patches.Nothing worse than painting over a patch that hasn't been sanded.
Just discovered your channel and I am ADDICTED. Love this, thank you sincerely for putting this (and all your videos) together.
I wish I knew this guy! I would love to work with him! Or have him as a neighbor. Super awesome guy!
Sure wish I had viewed this and your other painting video before I left so many visible mistakes. The next homeowner will get the fun of fixing them. I have binged on your channel since I came across it. It’s better than any TV show! I’m 60 yo that has a log cabin now. After watching your basement videos I’m hoping to finish the basement. It has Superior walls on 3 sides of basement. Has garage on one side of stairs and laundry, full bath and large room on other. I’m sure I will have many questions. But I look forward to the challenge. Just used circular saw for first time and built 8’x 6.5’x 3’ shelves that allow mower, wheel barrel to be stored under 1st shelf. Looking at entry bench next. Empty nest is great! Thanks for all the help!
Always great videos, Jeff. Thanks. I'm trying to get the streaks and blotches out of my flat white ceiling and just finished watching a video from another very popular home reno YT-ber who said exactly the opposite in terms of painting direction in relation to incoming light - i.e. always paint CROSSWAYS to main sunlight source. So, I guess you're both right. :) I've sprayed twice and rollered once with plenty of paint, with the light, across the light and UGH... still comes out blotchy. Using a quality paint and an 18mm roller to ensure I keep and work into a wet edge.
Just bought a fixer-upper in Vegas....... patching ceiling paint....... THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! I subscribed.....
Love your channel man! You make everything that I normally dread doing (like painting a ceiling) seem so simple, love how you cover all the bases and your attention for detail is inspiring! 👍🏻
Jeff, you are by far my favorite contractor, mentor and video personality. I watch a lot of diy videos and no one has your level of explanation as you work through a project. Thank you for all that you are and what you do.
I don't regret coming across your channel, you are one of the best I have ever seen on youtube. Wish I could work with you for some training.
I appreciate your videos
Good technique. I was taught that laying off flat paint is a waste of time. I would also never sand after I cut in my final coat. Everyone's got their own style.
Great video.
Cheers
Thanks for everything you do. Your channel is the best!
Thank you for all your videos because they have helped me to paint my front room for the first time. It did not go too badly but without your suggestions of tools and tips for decorating it would of been a lot worse!
This is the 5th time I watching this clip. Right now Im waiting for the first layer to dry. Thanks heaps.
Definitely the best video production about DIY construction work on the entire internet surface !!!! Thorman family, you are the best!
Thank you very much for your incredible videos they are amazing they have taken my results up several notches and make it less frustrating, more finished looking. Thank you again!!
I thought I knew how to paint too but learned a lot from your videos. Love your videos!
I remember working manual labor when in high school and college. I remember feeling like that when my entire body was seized up and not working yet the next day I had to haul 40 cubic yards of dirt or do some other ridiculous landscaping job. Only option was to force the body to go to work. I dont miss those days at all, however it gives you an inner resilience that can not be matched.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! This will really help me when I paint my house!
Regards from Australia!
Never seen a painter with such a clean shirt :)...love the channel, has helped out a ton around the house. Brilliant stuff!!!
If you see a clean painter that's the boss/foreman.
Perfect, I'm so ready to finish my ceiling that used to have ugly popcorn on it. Big job, but even half finished my friends were impressed. lol
I like a textured ceiling a little better than a smooth one. I just love the way it looks next to the smooth walls.
This is true professionalism
I just wanted to thank you. I love watching your videos
Thank you for the comment. We love you too! Cheers!
BRAVO.
SUPER TUTORING AND EXECUTION.
YOU ARE THE BEST JEFF.
Jeff as a painter who just retired after 36 years, yes your Technic is spot on. Many DIY people always have asked me the question on how to measure and work out material. Have you done a video starting with the basic on working out your square footage and coverage per gallon of material. By he way I loved your back yard shed build video it was awesome also.
Thank you Jeff for all you do. What do you do after sanding the first coat of primer? Do you brush off or do anything to get rid of the dust created? What about a treatment in between final coats? What is the in between and prep before you roll on a layer of paint or primer. I think that should be included in your video if possible.
Thank you a lot. keep doing this videos :) Saved me a lot of time and redo's.... Good, simple, easy to use generally available tools ! .Awesome!
I have also added latex extender ... since this is pretty much my first time paining on the skim coat, I am not sure if this 'extender' helped.. looks better comparing to the room where I just went on top of the old paint.
Thank you Jeff!
I’m getting ready to build our home and your videos have been a tremendous education on how to do a lot of the work myself. I appreciate it greatly. Off to Amazon to purchase some tools....
Very cool Erik, don't forget to check out our link so you can get the one's I prefer. Cheers!

So many good tips. Thanks for the video. Winter's here so I want to get some things done around the house.
As usual great videos and great tips. Keep them coming!
You are such a blessing!!
Great video. I especially liked the explanation about the long pole, and painting plastic bits.
Cheers Scorpio
Spray primer for touch ups. Brilliant. Thank u sir
Thank you for your service
Bloody love you, Jeff. Much love from the UK reno scene!
Cheers to the U.K.
21:29 "If you want to sit around and watch me finish the rest of the ceiling because you find it relaxing and soothing, then go ahead." The video cuts immediately after.
I painted my room in a lilac purple and it turned out awesome
Helpful tips. Thank you.
That how must look perfect painting process!
exactly!
You’re Awesome 👏
Looks so easy... tried once before watching this video and notice I have streak marks. Will try to incorporate these tips and roll long. (Using Sherwin Williams paint). *Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'... what!*
Hi Jeff. Thank you for sharing your experience. Your channel is easily my favorite channel on UA-cam. The things you have taught me have saved me so much money, and more importantly, time. Also, I as on FYI, one type of improvement that is not well represented on UA-cam is how to replace a subfloor of an entire room (not bathroom or kitchen). If you have the opportunity to do that work it would make a great video and opportunity.
Thank you for that. We will be renovating an 1880 home this year from top to bottom so stay tuned , plenty of great stuff coming. Cheers!
Congratulations on the wonderful video tutorials!
Just one addition !!!
When sanding use a mask !!!
And I will add doing the same when painting.
Excellent video! Exactly the info I’ve been looking for that is lacking from the many videos I’ve been looking through initially.
Glad to be of some help Thomas. Cheers!
Hi Jeff. Follow up question. I’m having trouble getting a good finish on a ceiling I’ve done 3 coats on and finely sanded between. I’m getting streaks and patchy areas, painting white on white. I think the problem is, I’m struggling to see where I’ve painted and with applying even amounts of paint on all areas. Have you ever encountered this problem and any tips please? Many thanks .
One, two, three!!! And new, heavy weight champion of the world!!!
ooooooooh Yeeaahhhhhhhh
Hey Jeff. Very good job presenting how-to info to the homeowner. In your drywall video you talk of using 120 grit sandpaper between coats of paint. In this one you use 220 grit. Does it matter which one we use and do you sand tight in the corners or just a light going over where the Rad 360 will contact?
Keep up the good work. You are doin a good job and providing a good service.
You are the best out their! Thanks for showing us you're technics! Love you're videos! How did you remove the dust from the ceiling before painting?
He makes it look so easy. Then again, it helps to be a man with a wingspan like an albatross. It did not pay to be 5'1" two days ago when I painted my mothers attic ceiling, incorrectly, aparently... which is why I have to DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN! 😖 I think I'll take this guys advice and do it correctly this time.
This info is amaaaazing. Love your vids
Great advice
I just painted my first area using your tips and tricks.. Im waiting for it to dry for the second coat. I love your videos, please keep making them . :D
How'd it work out?
It's been 6 months. I think the first coat is dry.
@@kensmith2829 lol
Ive seen other pros- You are King! I have learned a lot
Thanks for posting this. I'm about to paint my ceiling. Usually I have someone more experienced me, this time I won't. This was a great refresher.
Very, very practical, great tips, no waffle, this guy really know his stuff
Hi Jeff! First off, wonderful videos. You have really helped me educate myself on best practices and how to do things around the house. My question is in regards to 2 in 1 primer/paint. It would seems easy to prime and paint at the same time. However, I prefer your method but would like get your view on 2 in 1 primer/paint.
It is a marketing scam since we don't need a primer on water based paints anymore like we did in the old days.
Long pole saves the shoulders!!!! Good tip bud!!! I learn so much from every video, for real!!! Oh, did I mention I can't wait for the Reno videos.... As always great job, God bless, and Dirty Jersey out!!!!
Thanks Mike, Cheers to Jersey!
Hey Jeff! Thanks for all the awesome tutorials. I was wondering if you could go through how you clean your rollers and paintbrush?
Hi Maureen, I will definitely do that one of these days soon. Cheers!
As always Jeff, just great. Thank you. I will be painting my bathroom and laundry soon. :)
Cheers Steve, As I always say you are the best contractor for your house. Cheers!
Excellent video. Thank you Sir
What a nice job
THANK you.
Thanks Ismael. Cheers!
Oh wow. Nice tips man. Thank you!
As always, glad to help Jeremiah, Cheers!
I love your channel!! I bought a 3 unit building at the beginning of the year and I’m renovating one of the units all on my own thanks to this channel! I swear I would have been spending so much money hiring out this stuff I could have done myself!! Thank you so much
Cheers! glad to help!
Oh man I gotta paint today been postponing it for awhile. Ty for the tips though.
Super helpful!! Now if I could only figure out how to get rid of my popcorn ceiling first! :P
I love this dude.
Great tips!
I'm amazed how dry your cutting brush is - wish I'd seen this before my last project :-)
I have seen many painters who swear by the slop it on method. None of them good. Cheers!
A "Misty Cloud" - SWEET!
if you see a ridge it ain't ready. Cheers!
Great video! I’m definitely one of those people who is spending hours and hours painting without proper body mechanics! Thanks for bring my attention to a better way! Question: do you wipe the walls down after sanding?
when you sand between coats you never need to wipe the walls, you will get a perfect finish and silky smooth every time. Cheers!
Wow you are such a great teacher and your content is phenomenal! I learned so much and it was really enjoyable to watch too!
Love your channel! I bought a fixer upper and I've been doing the work myself and things are going soooo much better since I found your channel! Quick question, I'm painting over existing textured ceiling. Do you always do 2 coats of primer and then 2 coats of paint? Thanks!
Hi! I've got a few nail pops in a textured ceiling. They look like quarter-sized bumps. How do I repair these? Also, it would nice to see a painting repair video geared for those of out here in the NW USA that have textured walls and ceilings with rounded wall corners. Love all your videos! You've been a great help in the updating of our 90s home. Thanks!
Hi Jeff nice to meet you :) I have just discovered you lol....this is my second video of yours I have watched, great help thank you :)
