No BS or selling products. Thank you for keeping it simple.

These videos are the best demonstraighted & explained on how to paint ceilings & walls seen many other channels on how to paint but this is the best👍

Best video I've seen on painting a ceiling. Great job - thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

One of the things I've learned in my years of painting-ceilings is that by using a "short" stick, your head is thrown back and both it and your neck are constantly twisting-not good for the neck-especially if you have any neck issues (and if you do this often enough you will wind up with neck issue-which I have). To completely eliminate any head twisting; extend your stick out (about) six-ish feet and work "in front" of you-so that you're looking ahead of you-never to the side. Work backwards-moving towards your backside. Once I figured this out, I never again twisted my head or ever had to tilt it back (slightly-once ina while). You'll catch on quickly and your upper spine will thank you.

6 years on...and still one of the best ceiling painting videos out there. Clear and concise...with some humor.

As a painting pro, I wanted to let you know I sent this video to my son. He is helping me on a large job and just learning to paint. I started out long before the internet and had a lot of idiots try to show mw how to paint. I became a pro by trial and error and 30+ years experience. I wish I had some videos like yours to help out when I started.

I was able to paint the ceiling in my hallway today thanks to you. It came out much better than I was expecting. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I will definitely keep the "lay on lay off" technique, it felt so much faster than what I had previously been doing. thanks again!

The little tips like "final stroke, back into wet edge" (when cutting) are invaluable. That tidbit alone made this worthwhile. THANKS!

Thank you for the videos. I had never painted a ceiling before. Followed all of your tips (except for the bucket) and my bedrooms came out great, now I'm going to do the rest of the house.

enjoyed your video. I'm working in Houston fixing all the flooded houses from hurricane Harvey. your video is well put together and easy to understand. very good instructions. good sound and clear cut information. very well done. thanks

Thank you so much for this vid, I followed every suggestion you gave and it made painting the ceiling a hundred times easier than last time.

Thanks for the video series. Just started painting the whole interior of my house and it has been very helpful. I have never painted anything before!

Thanks John: that has helped me a lot, was always getting lines in my ceilings, good clear video.

Brilliant!!! Thank you soooooo much for posting these tutorials - they are great (especially when you have to do all the decorating yourself). I am learning a lot x

Thank you and still very useful to me after 10 yrs. I just painted my ceiling and at first it was so hard. After your video, my ceiling looks beautiful. I'm a 54yr old woman. Thanks

Now that's what I call painting advice! All killer, no filler! I've been painting turnovers of varying conditions and feel that my speed and precision could improve considerably and just as importantly, the final results. Thanks a lot. This should help.

THANK YOU! My goodness, one could go insane looking at all the content on You Tube and just give up altogether. This was amazing, easy to follow, not too fussy or overly complicated. Much appreciated and I am going to give it another shot! Thanks again.

Has been very helpful. Been a couple yrs since I painted so came back and watched again to have tips fresh in my mind.

Your ceiling paint tutorial it the BEST so far! I'm going to try it this coming weekend.

I really like the level of detail on technique that you go into. It's great. Thanks!

Did exactly what you demonstrated in my kitchen today. Turned out flawless!! Thanks for the help!

You're the best teacher! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

LOVE how you have made these videos funny and more interesting than an info video. Thank you! I've learned a lot.

No one talks about the wet edge and brush marks and diving the ceiling up into sections. Very helpful thank you!

OMG....this is sooo much better than all those other painting videos.....just watch!

Best video to simply understand without a lot of fluff that is why I love your videos!

You're a magician, I love your vids, really informative and the extra tips are just gold. Thanks for this.

Going to paint myself this spring, thanks for how to paint ceiling, will take my time, and do entire apartment as I go along until done.

John- sincerely- thank you. I have almost lost my mind with these ceilings. I realize that I have basically made every single mistake possible. Yours was the video that really made the difference- small and subtle, but CRUCIAL, technique elements. Thank you!

I learned so many invaluable tips and techniques watching your videos! Before finding you, I painted a huge ceiling in our house and it looked terrible--then I found your videos and was able to re-do the ceiling using what I learned from you. Thank you so much--you saved my ceiling. I want to support you so I'm going to go buy your book right now.

This seriously helped me! It took me forever last night to do the ceiling. My neck and shoulders were killing me and this morning it was all streaky. I watched your video and I redid it in half the time and it looks awesome! Thank you for posting this.

Great instructions! You look a lot like my brother who suddenly passed away at 52 so for me it's like bringing him back to life. Really enjoy the music to I'm a beginning trumpet player. So its a home run instructions are very detailed and explained well. Can't wait to paint my cellings

Finally a decent tutorial, best I’ve found. Short, sweet, to the point with actual practical instruction and demonstration. You’ve nailed it! Thank you

You're awesome mr. Thanks for teaching me. Keep up the good work

the best and useful youtube channel which teach you how to paint thank you for honest work

Real professional. Super tutorial and execution. Thank you so much.

Your video instruction is the only reason my kitchen is looking good these days. Many thanks--will buy the book.

Thank you so much. I followed your tutorial and managed after five attempts and two changes of paint managed to successfully paint my ceilings.

Super helpful video. I watched it before painting my non-textured ceiling and results were great. Thanks!

Thanks for giving me the confidence to tackle a task that I was apprehensive about doing and making the video user friendly

This is a really good demo. I agree with everything except for using a bucket instead of a paint tray. Well explained!

Thankyou sir, I painted one of our ceilings the other day and made an absoloute hash of it, it looked awful. Tried again today using your technique and it looks like a professional job!

I love this series. Thank you so much. I used these videos to learn how to paint my business last year, and I get compliments on how well I did all the time. I owe it to these videos and to my attention to deal and meticulousness. Thank you, John! You do an amazing job explaining things!

Love you man, best information I've seen on painting, you make sense of the simple stuff

Another great video, I must say you are one laid back dude and an awesome instructor! I am now subscribed.

This is the best video for painting a celling ive seen on youtube.

This is the first video of yours that I've seen and let me tell you I am impressed with your great tips and over all presentation of your material. It is great! I can tell you know what you are talking about and you are very kind to share your knowledge with us. I've seen many painting tutorials on youtube and think you are one of the best if not the Best. THANK YOU for sharing. You are great!

Thanks, glad you found the video helpful!

Thank you for the GREAT video and your time mister! GREAT JOB!!!

Very good. Excellent point at about 2:16 about finishing into the wet edge..I teach my trainees the same..so many videos seem to miss this..the only thing I would add is I would have started on the right if I was using my right hand, or on the left if using my left hand, this makes for an easier more natural action, instead of sometimes having to position myself so my arm doesnt cross my face.

Fantastically presented - thank you so much! ..much love from the UK! ))

BEST VIDEO AWARD WINNER, HANDS DOWN ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

Dude, serious you rock. Video well done, graphics were good, volume good, attitude good, info solid. Thanks😎

Can't wait for vaulted ceiling tutorial. Your tips are very useful!

Hey there I’m about to start a new painting job but with more responsibilities as a leader just watching your videos catching up on prep and painting and cutting in and all that good stuff I love to paint so much and don’t want to mess it up thanks for the videos!(:

Thank you, one of the best step by step videos I've seen! Very helpful.

You are my hero! I´ve painted wrong for a long time but now I hope I will get it right!

I liked your vid. Straight forward and you actually know how to lay the paint off straight and fade it out. I do my sections in the other order, (1,3,2,4) doing half a room, then the other half.

Good to see you 'spinning off' the roller at the end of each stroke, ensuring even paint distribution.

Thank you for taking the time.

Wow even this is old video but it's super helpful and why am I watching this after I start my painting with all directions

Great work you are doing.. Helped me more than I can express...

i'm an electrition and had rather take a beating than paint. the woman is tired of giving the beating so i guess i'll get to painting! i feel lucky to have found your videos. i have no doubt that what you shared will help me out when i get started. thanks for taking the time to do it.

Brilliant - A real pro. Thanks from Cornwall, England, UK.

This is one of the better videos that I've seen on the subject. Thanks.

Giving your home the attention it needs to look its is so important and it can save big bucks by catching problems early!

Excellent presentation. Thanks John. I'm off to paint my ceiling!

Thanks, this video /tutorial has made painting my house more bearable. I have been doing it so wrong for many yrs cutting in with a half inch brush, just swapping to a three inch brush has made such a difference and so as the other advice..

this is one of the OLD AND GOLD ONE BEST TUTORIALS you wll see in your life !! i alredy know how to paint im kinda profesional but damn i wish i saw this video when i was starting

Thank you for saving my life lol! Painting is my least favorite chore and now I know what to do... Btw love the "spacle ghost" 👻

Thanks for the helpful tips on how to paint a ceiling I learn a lot!

Thank you for organizing us for this project.

Thanks for this video. It really helped me with my ceiling. Keep up the great work!

I had to subscribe bro, you did an excellent job, thank you for your time and professionalism

I've been painting for years, and I learned a lot, Thanks!

Great tip on the natural light coming in. i paint my ceiling before watching this video and i paint perpendicular to the natural light and during the day you can see all the roller marks on the ceiling now i have to paint it over.

Great tips. Entertaining. To the point. Not a bunch of talk I don’t care about. Thanks so much!

Thanks, I appreciate the nice comment!

Thanks for a very helpful video and a voice that's very easy to listen to!

Your a good guy I could tell. God bless you brother

Thank You For Your Knowledge! and a Great, Down to Earth , Instruction

Muy buenas clases de pintura gracias por tu conocimiento desde san jose costa rica..PURA VIDA.

lol at 0:45, great video, I love seeing professionals who have a passion for quality work :) Thanks for sharing your tips !

Thank you, your video is chock full of excellent information and and presented in a very fun way.

Don't forget. If you're painting a room with more than 1 can of paint. You need to "box" the paint into a single container because there might be a slight difference in the paint once it has dried. Good video, very easy to follow and understand.

This is the best explanation I have seen.. Thank you..

Thanks for sharing !! short, simple and very useful info ... great !!

Great video mate. Super easy to remember the steps I watched 5 different videos before yours; all different methods and confusing.

Awesome! Thank you! Really great video and explaining and the music.

thank you for sharing your excellent tips they are very useful!

Thank you very much I'll be using these techniques in the next couple of weeks ...much appreciated great video ....

I have found (the hard way) that since ceilings are always uneven it is best to roll the entire ceiling (as you describe) and then once dry to the touch roll a 2nd coat in the opposite direction. Especially needed if light is coming in mainly from one direction.

EXCELLENT!! Awesome content and quick direction! He get's right to the point! Love it!

Hi-definitely it was paintable caulk i used and i even let it dry for 5 days but still happened it was a bison caulk and even after i touched up 3 4 times it still shows. i ve done un experiment home and after i caulked a frame next day i stabilized it with latex and painted it the next day but it happend again i will try your advise and do with oil based stabilizer or white paint and after paint it with latex paint and let you know......

Thanks for sharing this detailed tutorial is very helpful.

Thanks a lot. The best video I've found so far

I'm enjoying your videos. You clear and love the tips. Keep up the great videos.

Thank you,Now I will start to paint my house next week.

Sure wish I had watched this video before painting my laundry room ceiling and walls last night! Your tip about cutting in a little at the top of the wall with the angled paint brush would have eliminated my problem of the old beige paint showing through in the corners and where the faulty edger I used kept hitting the popcorn bumps leaving a tiny bit of the wall unpainted. Ugh! Wish I had the energy to redo the job!

This is pure gold thank you.
