Ceiling Repair Lorelei Edmonton

Cracks, sags and stains repaired on Lorelei ceilings

In Lorelei homes, a cracked or sagging ceiling, nail pops or a brown stain drags the eye upward and ages the room instantly. Ceilings are the least forgiving surface in the house — light rakes across them and shows every flaw — so a ceiling repair in Lorelei has to be done to a higher standard than a wall patch. Lorelei is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so the ceilings here usually show settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair. In Lorelei the ceiling gets repaired, the cause gets fixed, and the texture match makes it disappear. We cover Lorelei, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

Ceiling Repair Lorelei Edmonton: your questions answered

My ceiling is sagging between the joists. Is that serious?

It means fasteners have let go, the board has been overloaded by insulation, or it has taken moisture. Re-securing works if the board is sound; if it has softened, that section comes out. Screwing soft board back up just makes a wavy ceiling.

How long does a ceiling repair take in Edmonton?

Several thin coats with drying between, so more than one visit. The room is usable in between but furniture stays covered. A ceiling repair promised in a day is either very small or going to crack.

Do you do ceiling repair in Lorelei in Edmonton?

Yes — Albany, Athlone, Baranow is part of our regular service area and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest.

Can you match my textured ceiling?

Usually. We match the texture by sample before it goes on the Lorelei ceiling and feather well past the repair. Where a close enough match cannot be got, re-texturing the whole ceiling looks better than an obvious circle.

What are the little bumps in a row on my ceiling?

Nail pops — fasteners backing out as the framing dries and moves. They need re-fixing into solid framing, not just filling. Filling over a proud fastener means the same dots return within a year.

Why does the same crack keep coming back?

Almost always because it was filled rather than re-taped. A crack following a taped joint is a joint that moves, and filler alone bridges the gap and re-cracks in the next dry spell. The old tape has to come out and new tape be bedded in.
