Carmel ceilings and walls

Finished ceilings in an upstairs hallway, stairwell, and entryway. I also put two coats of "Ancient Marble" in a flat finish on the walls and touched up the stained trim. Painting ceilings in a high stairwell takes additional measures for safety and getting to the top. I brought in my 12 foot ladder along with levelers in order to get to the higher areas.


Steps:
  1. Removed electrical plates;
  2. Sanded walls;
  3. Washed the walls with simple green; 
  4. Spackled all the holes and nicks in the walls;
  5. Masked out floors with durable paper in order to keep any drips off the carpet and wood floors;
  6. Lightly sanding all areas spackled;
  7. Painted ceilings;
  8. Taped out baseboards and door trim;
  9. Applied first coat on walls - let dry;
  10. Applied second coat on walls;
  11. Pulled tape and masking paper;
  12. Did touch-ups requested;
  13. Cleaned up and presented to customer.
