Have you ever painted the walls and ceiling of a stairway? How did you do it?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:There are ladders that are multipositional that can be used on stairs. You also can build scaffolding, but for a basement I assume the ceilings are not very high and the ladder will do. Lowes or Home Depot should have those ladders. They usually have extra support for increased stability on the bottom of the legs, which is good for any job anyway. I had a neighbor who painted her entire house, except the ceiling by the stairs and one other very high ceiling and just paid a painter to do that small area. Something to consider if you feel unsafe reaching for those areas or feel it will be very difficult for some reason. Buying a new ladder might be about the same price as paying for that small amount of work.
