How Do You Handle Cathedral Ceilings and Tall Entryways in The Hamptons?

Cathedral ceilings in The Hamptons, Edmonton reach 14 to 22 feet, and the two-storey grand foyers common along Hampton's Boulevard and 215 Street require professional Baker scaffold staging, not extension ladders. A typical cathedral great-room repaint in The Hamptons runs 3 to 5 days for a single storey and 5 to 7 days when the two-storey foyer is included. iPaint Painting's crew holds Fall Protection and Aerial Work Platform (AWP) certifications, is WCB covered, and uses airless spray equipment to deliver a flawless, even finish across large sloped surfaces. Every Hamptons project carries our 5-year written workmanship warranty. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Why Hamptons Homes Need Proper Staging

The Hamptons was developed between 2003 and 2015 by Cameron Communities, Jayman Built, Landmark Homes, and Morrison Homes, and virtually every two-storey single-family home in the neighbourhood between 2,200 and 3,800 sq ft includes an open-concept great room with a cathedral ceiling above 14 feet. Executive estates near Lewis Estates Golf Course and along Hemingway Road NW push ceilings to 18 and 22 feet with full two-storey foyer pass-throughs. Alberta Building Code 9.23 governs those interior finishes, and painting them safely requires Baker scaffold staging, proper fall-arrest anchors, and drop-cloth protection of flooring and furniture during equipment setup.

Our Staging and Spray Process

We arrive at your Hamptons home from our 9821 33 Ave NW shop via Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216), a 25 minute drive. The crew protects oak and maple trim, hardwood, and any furniture that cannot be moved, then assembles Baker scaffold set to the cathedral pitch. We mask windows, lighting, and any stippled ceiling features. Cut lines at the wall-to-ceiling junction are brushed first, then we spray the ceiling field with an airless sprayer and back-roll to even out the finish. For stippled ceilings common in Hamptons homes built by Jayman Built and Landmark Homes, we use a heavier-nap roller to maintain the texture.

Products We Specify for Cathedral Ceilings

We use Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Aura flat or matte for cathedral ceiling surfaces, both MPI #43 compliant and Green Seal GS-11 low-VOC rated. Regal Select Flat hides drywall seams and joint compound better than builder-grade paint, which matters in Hamptons great rooms because the cathedral span magnifies any imperfection under south-facing afternoon light. For two-storey foyer walls where scuffs are an issue, we step up to Regal Select Eggshell or Sherwin-Williams Emerald for washability. Cloverdale Horizon is our Alberta-formulated budget option and still meets MPI #43 specifications.

Drywall Repair Before Paint

Cathedral ceilings in older Hamptons homes built in 2003 through 2008 occasionally show stress cracks at the truss seams from dry winter relative humidity in the 15 to 25 percent range. We include line-item drywall repair in every Hamptons estimate and tape, mud, and sand any cracks before priming. For heavier repairs we loop in our drywall and surface repair service. The Hamptons is served by Dr. Lila Fahlman School K-9, Hamptons Park at 215 Street and 69 Avenue, and the Hamptons Market Co-op, and our crew works around family schedules without disruption.
