What happens here

Start by painting the ceiling edges, known as 'cut-ins,' using a brush. Use a telescopic ladder to reach high areas. It is recommended to perform all high cut-ins first before rolling the main wall areas. This prevents the need to lean a ladder against freshly rolled walls, which could damage the wet paint or leave marks. Apply a light skim coat to these cut-in areas.

Goal: Paint clean lines along ceiling edges before rolling walls

Tools and materials

  • Paint Brush — Applying paint for cut-ins
