Ceiling painting in Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North, done right after the drywall

An Dechene ceiling repaint only looks right when what is underneath is right — cracks fixed, texture matched, popcorn scraped and skimmed where that is the job. In Dechene we do both stages: the drywall and ceiling repair, then the paint, so nothing gets painted over a problem. Dechene is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, and ceilings here typically need heavier prep -- patching plaster cracks, skim-coating uneven walls and priming stained or aged surfaces so the new paint reads flat. We cover Dechene, Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North and West Edmonton, 7 days a week.

Our Dechene ceiling painting process, step by step

Repair before paint, always

We fix cracks, nail pops and stains — sealing water stains with a stain-blocking primer so they do not bleed through — before a drop of finish paint goes on the Dechene ceiling.

Even coverage under raking light

Ceilings show roller marks and thin spots more than any other surface, so we apply often three coats to fully cover aged paint, patched plaster and stained sections and check the finish under raking light before calling it done.
