We do have popcorn ceilings and we do like them, still. I am 60 and have been very hesitant to paint them, but, after watching you do it, you have inspired this lady. Greatly appreciated. May 2021 serve you and your loved ones well.
Thank you for making this video. I just moved into a place and began painting the walls of my laundry room, then noticed the popcorn ceiling looked even worse after I painted my walls white..it seriously looked like 10 chain smokers lived here. But anyways, NOW, I HAVE to paint the ceiling cos..well cos my projects keep having project babies!
Painting a textured ceiling today, watched this to get some last minute tips. Great video! I loved your style of teaching and I’m glad I saw this. Thanks for the message at the end!
It's hard to believe the popcorn didn't come peeling off the ceiling. I could not compare the roller technique with this amount of pressure to my own situation, but worth watching. Thank you.
So afraid to paint the ceiling with a roller heard toooo many stories about it coming back off and it being too wet,mercy it’s so hard to know what to do ,although you look to be doing a super job.wishing you lived closer lol,thank you for your time...
Awesome video. Great message at the end. Very helpful video as I’ll be painting my mother in law’s textured ceilings in multiple rooms. This video will really help me. Thank you!
Yeah, you got lucky with that one with not much coming off. I always wear a hat, and a face shield from $1 store since paint can be rough getting out of hair, and good to protect face and eyes from getting paint in when working over head. No matter how good you are you can't fight gravity so why not make staying clean easier. The only thing you have to be afraid of with popcorn is if it has been badly water damaged it can start coming off a lot even in sheets when rolling.
Thank you for this. Messy is true!!! First few rolls I was getting bits on me....I came here to find the roller type. Thank you for recommending the extension pole. I'm in a 70's era beach rental and my ceilings are hideous. I completed all my trim and doors. I think the ceilings are going to make it super fresh. Thank you for the inspiration to be fearless!!
Plastic is ok, try and lay cardboard or an old sheet over the plastic. When paint drops on the plastic and you step on the paint drops, its going to pull the plastic up, especially if its thin Mil plastic. ✌
@@askledhead I ended up using a sheet. Also, I way underestimated the amount of paint needed. It's crazy how much I've used for a small area. I think I bit off a little more than I was prepared to chew🤣
Paid a guy to do my living room a few years ago and warned if comes off easy. He laughed off and say he was going spray it on and it would fall off. After he got going and had a good deal done it started falling off in big chunks. It was so bad I told him to get out and scraped it off myself and redid it with a different texture.
John, I probably did not. I always use a good quality Ceiling paint. They sale a ceiling white at most paint retailers. But, you can use any good latex wall paint if you have
@@aboutyourhouseradio1698 I ask because I heard elsewhere that an oil based won't soften up the popcorn and potentially cause it to fall. Any thoughts on this?
@@labob65 I never have used an oil base paint. I never want to. However, done the way I said at the early stages, you will not pull it off. As to fall off. Thanks for your input.

Did u use a split foam roller or just regular roller?
Also, I have wood floors so I will be picking up the plastic to lay down. The wet popcorn falling down is stuff nightmares are made of🤣

Thanks, I’m just about to do my neighbor’s living room and hallway. They have “popcorn” ceilings.
You should have mentioned Asbestos Popcorn ceilings, they were real common in some states, especially California.
Is it better to prime the entire ceiling first if it has not been painted at all?
Yes, the ceiling is going to soak up the paint and it might not look uniform if it isn't primerd
@@askledheadjust painted my “knock down” ceiling and , yup it soaked up the paint. I figured paint nowadays has primer in it so that is my fault.

What kind of roller was it
How do you know IF THE CEILING HAS BEEN PAINTED.?I’m guessing trying a small area to see the results?
What about if there is horrible glutter on the ceilings? 😳😪😪😪
No wonder it’s so easy for you! There’s 3-4 of you in video! Giggle
I need advice on painting my front and back door…
Are your doors Metal or wood, what kind of weather are your doors exposed to
@@askledhead they are metal. I’m in Kentucky so we have all seasons
Did you mention what type of paint you used? didn't catch it...
John, I probably did not. I always use a good quality Ceiling paint. They sale a ceiling white at most paint retailers. But, you can use any good latex wall paint if you have

@@aboutyourhouseradio1698 And I appreciated your "don't be afraid" comment, because I'm usually too apprehensive before attempting a project..!

Wouldn't spraying the popcorn ceiling be easier
Only use a airless spray gun, this is why the pop corn is falling off you never roll it
Nice advice don't know how old this video is but c'mon not wearing a respirator and breathing in all the toxins from the spray 🤣
Yes just get on with it
