DIFFICULTY RATING:
(1 out of 5 - Beginner)
Excessively tall staircase paint jobs that require scaffolding might be best left to the experts. For moderately tall jobs, a few easy steps will have the walls and ceilings looking new in no time.
|
Step 1: Prepare the staircase and ladder.
Put a drop cloth on the length of the stairs. Take care when walking on the drop cloth, as it can make for slippery conditions. Position an extension ladder with the feet firmly against the stair riser, and lean the top of the ladder back against the second story wall. Be sure the tops of the ladder are covered with foam tips to avoid damaging the wall.
 Cover the tops of the ladder with foam tips.

| WARNING! When painting on a ladder or platform, thoroughly check that the ladder and platform cannot slip. If you are uncomfortable with the process, hire a professional. Wear old clothes, protective gloves, hat and goggles when painting. |
