Knockdown Ceiling Removal Forest Heights

Knockdown ceiling removal in Forest Heights for a clean modern ceiling

Knockdown and splatter ceilings date an Forest Heights room and catch dust and cobwebs in every ridge. In Forest Heights we remove dated knockdown texture and refinish the ceiling — either skimmed dead-flat to a smooth modern look or re-textured cleanly. Forest Heights is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so the knockdown work here is usually refresh and resurfacing before a repaint. We cover Forest Heights, Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano and Southeast, 7 days a week.

Our Forest Heights knockdown removal process, step by step

Mask, protect and scrape

Knockdown removal in Forest Heights 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. The Forest Heights ceiling leaves primed-ready and the room leaves clean.
