Hello,
I am new to this forum and home owning. Bought a old house few months ago, a ranch. I would like to cover basement ceiling (basically hide the woods and look more cleaner). I tried coloring it white (spray painted), but it doesn't look good and I lack professional touch.
Have few questions.
1. Do I need to insulate ceiling before covering? Although I have insulation added up to the required R value and roof joist sealed with spray foam insulation.
2. Basement height is 8ft, so tiling cannot be an option as it will take 4-6 inches of height. What all options are available?
3. Is this something I can do or I need a pro? I have no trouble doing handy jobs.
Appreciate all suggestions/guidance.
Thanks,
Harish
