Safely paint on garage roof. Purchase a brush extender which allows you to clip the brush securely to the end of an extension pole. You will need to edge and roll each coat of paint. I m worried about safety. Or so from the ground you may feel safe working with just roof brackets and planks in place.

Very helpful in painting a gable end over a garage exactly as shown in old alex s photo. Painting this section of your house that has a steep roof is impossible without a way to safely stay on it. In most instances your garage ceiling will not need a further coat of paint. But for the ultimate in roof safety especially on steeper roofs or big jobs invest in a safety harness and rope.

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. We are looking for a lift or something to paint this last gable. Again work from your ladder as much as possible. Probably 36 40 feet high.

Apply a coat of paint to the entire 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. Step 1 mark the center of your 2 by 4 inch board using a tape measure and pencil.
