I will be paining the interior of my house with my airless sprayer. But I have a question. Frankly, how do I paint the ceilings? They are vaulted and I really don't want to risk being on a ladder to paint them. Is there extensions for the sprayer I can get?
I used a good very tall step ladder.

Rent rolling scaffold. Fairly cheap and far safer for the average DIYer than a ladder.
What he said.
They come in 6 ft. sections, stackable, safety railing goes on the top section. I rented 2 sections a few months ago to hang a ceiling fan, and patch a few drywall cracks and nail pops in my family room (ceilings are 18-19 ft). Cost something like $40 for 1 day. Knocked down, all the pieces fit comfortably in the bed of an F-150.
Only time I felt uncomfortable was when I was on the top section disassembling the thing. One of the safety railings decided it wanted to stick. To me it was kind of scary to be standing on a platform 12 feet in the air jerking on the railing wondering when it was going to bust loose.

How high are the ceilings? I use my airless on my vaulted with good luck. an airless sprayer spays upside down and I am a tall guy with long arms. You should try those stilts that some of the guys use. here's a link:
Or use a very long brush.
You can get an extension for your airless that extends the tips 3 - 6' up. That usually will get you up where you're going.

Hi guys!
First, thank you for the replies!! I think the best one that suits me is a tip extension. The scaffold is a great idea, but I will be painting one room at a time, over the course of, say a couple months.
Ceilings heights? Good question, I'd say from 8' to 14' or so.
