Is knockdown ceiling removal messy?

Only when done wrong — in Downtown we mask the room, protect everything and keep the dust contained. We leave your Downtown home clean.

Do you remove knockdown ceilings in Downtown?

Yes — Downtown is part of our regular service area and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt and Central.

Can you make the ceiling completely flat?

Yes — texture off, then your Downtown ceiling gets skimmed to Level 4 or Level 5, paint-ready. If a new texture suits your Downtown home better, we apply that instead.

Can you make the ceiling completely flat?

Yes — every Downtown removal ends in a flat Level 4 or Level 5 skim, paint-ready. Prefer texture in Downtown? A clean new finish can go on instead.

Yes. We walk every Downtown ceiling with you under raking light before we pack up, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Can you fix cracks while the texture is off in my Downtown home?

Yes — the exposed Downtown ceiling gets its cracks, nail pops and stains repaired before skimming, so the finish is clean and solid.

Knockdown Ceiling Removal Downtown

Knockdown ceiling removal in Downtown for a clean modern ceiling

Nothing dates a Downtown room like splatter or knockdown texture — and every ridge traps dust and cobwebs. In Downtown we remove dated knockdown texture and refinish the ceiling — either skimmed dead-flat to a smooth modern look or re-textured cleanly. Downtown is an Central community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so the knockdown work here is usually refresh and resurfacing before a repaint. We cover Downtown, Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt and Central, 7 days a week.

Our Downtown knockdown removal process, step by step

Mask, protect and scrape

Knockdown removal in Downtown is messy if it is done wrong, so we mask walls, mask off the room and protect floors first, then scrape the texture cleanly back to the board.

Skim, sand and finish

With the texture off, we repair any cracks or stains, then skim the ceiling flat in coats with full drying time, sand and check under raking light — or apply a clean new texture if that is what you chose. Your Downtown ceiling is ready for primer and the room is cleaned before we go.

What affects the cost of knockdown ceiling removal in Downtown?

Area, finish and condition

The cost in Downtown depends on the ceiling area, the finish you want (a dead-flat Level 5 takes more skim work than a re-texture), and the condition underneath — cracks or stains found once the texture is off add a little time. We assess on site and price it before we start.

Most homeowners here go flat for a modern look, but we also re-texture cleanly if you prefer. We tell you what each option involves so you can choose for your Downtown ceiling.
