As a young man, Mario left his home country in search of a better life. He painted his way from country to country until eventually immigrating to Canada. Gaining knowledge and technique from every person and country he could, Mario eventually mastered many renovation techniques including staining, spraying, painting and dry walling, in addition to many other renovation skills.
Mario eventually opened operations as a renovations company with his brother-in-law, in Edmonton, during the mid 2000’s. A short time later, this company became very successful serving thousands of residential and commercial customers throughout Edmonton and surrounding areas.
It became apparent to Mario that ceiling-related services were, and continue to be, in very high demand throughout the province of Alberta and a short time later, Edmonton Ceiling Renovations was incorporated and commenced operations in 2009.
Since its inception, Edmonton Ceiling and Renovations has served thousands of commercial and residential clients, has been mentioned in various print-forms for its superb services and continues to grow and succeed despite a competitive market.

Let’s face it. While we all enjoy painting our home, not all of us enjoy painting the ceiling. Preparation can be time-consuming, your back will hurt, your arms will tire out and you may even literally develop neck pains.
Areas of the home that are a particular nuisance to paint include the bathroom and kitchen, where moisture can have an effect on the overall finish. However, painting the ceiling is an important part of redecorating any room.
Picking a Color
After a consultation with our customers, many of them opt for white or light-colored ceilings, which is fine. However, the characteristics of your room might make other colors a better choice. For example, a room with high ceilings may feel more intimate, painted a darker color.
Larger rooms can give you the opportunity to get creative with a different shade of your wall color. Whatever the case maybe, reset assured that we have plenty of samples for your convenience. Combined with this our guidance for perfect results, every time.
Consider a Work Platform
Placing as little strain on your body as possible and near proximity to the ceiling are both important elements when completing a successful ceiling paint job. As a result, It’s highly recommended that you use a work platform for this. Ladders can also work, however you’ll be constantly climbing up and down. Extension poles are useful but they put you far away from the surface you’re plainting and they take a little extra muscle. You may still require some extension, ever on a work platform, but your job will be much easier and safer.
Room and Ceiling Preperation
As a general rule of thumb, always paint your ceilings, before your walls, for obvious reasons. We don’t want fresh paint, from the ceiling on your walls. However, there are other advantages as well. Unlike painting your walls, preparing to paint the ceiling means everything in the room must be removed or covered to protect against paint drips and paint splatters. So if you start with your ceiling, your room will be fully protected for the entire paint project.
If you’re only applying paint to the ceiling, be sure to tape off the tops of the walls to protect them against them ceiling paint. Apply a coat of primer. This is very important on the ceiling as its more susceptible to moisture seeping down from the floors or attic above.
Paint a Cut Line
To help perfect that ceiling paint job, you will need to paint a cut line as rollers are not able to complete a corner task. Using a good brush, cut the edges of the ceiling with a paint brush. Be sure to use a trim brush with paint bristles tapered to one end, of two or two-and-a-half inches in width. Even if you have taped walls, a clean cut line takes some care.
Roll on Your Paint
If your ceiling has no texture, you can use a low-nap roller. If however, the ceiling was finished with stucco, use a ½-inch to a ¾-inch nap roller depending on the depth of the stucco.
When filling a paint-tray, pour into the roller area, no higher than where the washboard starts to slope away from the paint pool. This is specifically to help avoid submerging the roller into the paint. Not only does that put too much paint on the roller, but it also puts paint on the ends of the roller, where it can drip and get onto your walls.
Use the washboard section of the tray to get a consistent amount of paint around the roller. When applying your paint, roll slowly. The faster your roll, the more splatter you’ll create.
Do you need a Second Coat?
Once the first coat dries, examine it closely for issues. If you don’t see any, you’re pretty much done.
