What happens here

Once the high cut-ins are completed and sufficiently dry, begin rolling the main wall surfaces of the stairwell. Use a woven wool roller attached to an appropriate length extension pole. It is recommended to have multiple extension poles of varying lengths (e.g., 2-4 feet and 4-8 feet) to adapt to different heights and reaches within the stairwell. Continue to work from top to bottom, rolling paint evenly across the walls. Be mindful of your extension pole's length to avoid accidentally hitting the ceiling or previously cut-in areas, which could lead to needing touch-ups.

Goal: Apply paint evenly to the walls of the stairwell.

Tools and materials

  • Extension Pole — Extending the reach of the roller for lower and mid-height sections
  • Paint Tray — Holding paint for the roller
  • Paint — Painting the walls
