Safely Paint On Garage Roof

I do not like being on steep roofs and would probably not use this on anything steeper than 6 12.

Safely paint on garage roof.

There is a simple inexpensive method that will allow you to safely work off your roof and access the areas you need to paint. I m worried about safety. Probably 36 40 feet high. We are looking for a lift or something to paint this last gable.

In most instances your garage ceiling will not need a further coat of paint. Apply a coat of paint to the entire roof. But for the ultimate in roof safety especially on steeper roofs or big jobs invest in a safety harness and rope. Do you have ideas on how to safely paint such a high area.

Apply a generous amount of paint across the entire roof. So far we have figured out how to paint most of the house safely. Calling in the experts to paint exterior dormers on a 17 pitch roof. You will need to edge and roll each coat of paint.

Purchase a brush extender which allows you to clip the brush securely to the end of an extension pole. Brush and sprayer extenders whether you re using a brush or an airless sprayer to paint the gable an extension tool can help you reach past the point your ladder will reach. Painting this section of your house that has a steep roof is impossible without a way to safely stay on it. Wash the brush or roller you used for the primer or get a new one.

Again work from your ladder as much as possible. Allow the paint to dry between each coat so you can properly assess coverage. Or so from the ground you may feel safe working with just roof brackets and planks in place. However if you re painting over a dark color or unfinished drywall you may need two or three coats of paint to cover the ceiling properly.

The house is on a hillside and the driveway slopes downward. On low pitched roofs where footing is no problem and the eaves are less than 12 ft. My roofs are 5 12 so pretty easy to walk around on i get up there many times a year to blow out the gutters and sweep my chimney.
