Find the Leak Source

A ceiling stain is only the visible symptom. The source may be a bathroom above, pipe issue, roof leak, AC line, or window problem. The leak must be addressed before cosmetic repair.

Dry Before Closing

Wet drywall and trapped moisture can lead to odor, mold risk, and peeling paint. Damaged areas should be opened, dried, and reviewed before closing.

Match the Ceiling Finish

Ceiling repair may require patching, taping, skim coating, sanding, primer, and paint blending. Matching texture and sheen is part of a clean result.

Use Stain Blocking Primer

Water stains can bleed through new paint if not treated properly. Primer choice matters after water damage.

Best Information to Send First
