Ceiling line gets taped and papered so paint doesn't drift onto your walls.

Norridge Ceilings Have Their Own Challenges
Norridge homes have a mix of 1950s and 1960s construction with plenty of textured ceilings. Some have been painted before, some haven't. Here's what changes how we handle them.
Old popcorn that hasn't been painted
Unpainted texture soaks up paint and can flake off if rolled. We spray with a primer-sealer first to lock it down before the color coat.
Water stains from old roofs
Older Norridge homes get roof leaks eventually. We use stain-blocking primer on those spots so they don't show through the new white.
Kitchens with grease on the texture
Kitchen ceilings hold cooking grease that repels paint. We wash and prep those kitchen ceilings so the paint actually grips.
Homes built before 1978 may have popcorn texture that contains asbestos. We don't disturb it. We seal and paint over it safely.
How We Paint Popcorn Ceilings in Norridge
Popcorn ceilings need a different approach than flat walls. Here's the exact process we follow on every Norridge textured ceiling job.
Inspect the texture
We check how the popcorn was applied, whether it's been painted before, and look for stains.
Protect the room
Furniture covered or moved, floors sheeted, walls taped, fixtures removed.
Stain-block where needed
Water spots and yellowed patches get primer so they don't bleed through.
Seal the texture
Unpainted popcorn gets a sealer coat to lock it down and prevent flaking.
Spray the first coat
Paint sprayed evenly over the ceiling, working section by section.
Dry and inspect
We let it dry and check for thin spots, drips or missed areas.
Spray the second coat
Full second coat applied to get a consistent white or colored finish.
Reset and walkthrough
Fixtures back up, tape removed, floors cleaned, then we check it with you.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
These are the problems Norridge homeowners describe when they call. Here's what they get when we finish.
The problem
Old smoke, cooking grease and age turn white ceilings yellow. Cleaning won't fix it.
Roof leaks get fixed but the brown rings on the ceiling stay visible through new paint.
Old popcorn that wasn't sealed starts crumbling, especially around ceilings with moisture.
What you get
Primer seals the old stains and the new paint looks clean for years.
Stain-blocking primer seals water rings and smoke stains so they don't bleed through again.
We seal the popcorn so it stops flaking and stays locked onto the ceiling board.
