Water-Damage Ceiling Repair and Painting in Cranston
A brown water stain on the ceiling does not disappear under a coat of regular paint. It bleeds right back through. We seal it with a stain-blocking primer first, repair the drywall if it is soft, and then repaint so the stain stays gone.
If the leak that caused it is still active, that has to be fixed first. We will tell you straight, because painting over a live leak just wastes your money.
Why the stain comes back
Water stains are tannins that seep through ordinary paint. A proper stain-blocking primer is what locks them out for good.
Drywall and paint in one visit
When the drywall only needs a patch, we can repair and repaint the same visit. Badly sagging drywall may need a section replaced first.

Questions, answered
Will the water stain bleed through new paint?
It will if you use ordinary paint. We seal it with a stain-blocking primer first, which is the step that keeps the stain from coming back.
Do you repair the drywall and repaint in one visit?
When it is a patch, yes. If a section of drywall is badly sagged or soft, it may need to be replaced first.
Should the leak be fixed before you paint?
Yes, always. Painting over an active leak just hides it for a week. Get the leak fixed, then we make the ceiling right.
