How to Paint Over Water Spots on Ceilings

If you have water spots on your ceiling, you should first call a professional roofer to make sure your roof isn't leaking before repainting the ceiling. You can cover up ceiling water spots easily by painting over them with a primer and a new coat of ceiling paint. Make sure the ceiling is completely dry before attempting to cover up the spots.
