        "text": "Most single-room ceilings take between four and eight hours to paint, while an entire home typically requires two to four days. The timeline depends heavily on the preparation needed before applying paint. If the ceiling has water damage, stress cracks, or failing drywall tape, crew time is allocated to patching, mudding, sanding, and priming before color application begins. High ceilings, intricate crown molding, and moving furniture also extend the schedule. Once prep is complete, painting itself moves quickly, though proper drying time between coats remains essential.",
