What the job usually involves
Every property is different, which is why the estimate comes after somebody has actually looked at it rather than before. What does not change is the process: assess, explain the options in plain language, put the scope and price in writing, then do the work to that scope.

Ceiling Repair, in practice
Ceilings are harder than walls for one reason: light. A wall is lit from the side at a shallow angle only sometimes. A ceiling catches raking light from every window all day, and it shows every imperfection a wall would hide.
If the damage was water, the first question is whether it is dry. Board that is still damp will bleed through stain blocker, texture and paint alike, and the repair will look worse in six weeks than the stain did.
Stain-blocking primer is not ordinary primer. Water staining is soluble and migrates straight through latex, which is why a ceiling patched with standard primer so often reappears as a faint brown shadow.
A crack that keeps returning in the same place is usually structural movement rather than a bad repair. The honest answer is sometimes that it will come back again unless the movement itself is dealt with.
