A real Middletown call (interior)
A homeowner called us about a ceiling stain near a fan. The leak had already been fixed, but the stain kept showing through after they tried to paint it.
We scraped loose material, patched the area, sanded it flat, and used the right stain-blocking primer. Then we repainted the ceiling and blended it out. The stain stopped bleeding through and the repair disappeared.
