Knockdown Ceiling Removal Mactaggart

Knockdown ceiling removal in Mactaggart for a clean modern ceiling

Knockdown and splatter ceilings date an Mactaggart room and catch dust and cobwebs in every ridge. In Mactaggart we remove dated knockdown texture and refinish the ceiling — either skimmed dead-flat to a smooth modern look or re-textured cleanly. Mactaggart 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 Mactaggart, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Flat, modern ceilings

A dead-flat ceiling is the current look and the one most Mactaggart homeowners choose when they remove knockdown — it makes a room feel larger and cleaner.

A fresh, consistent texture

If you prefer texture, we can apply a clean knockdown or a lighter finish that is even across the whole ceiling, rather than the dated, heavy splatter that is there now. Both come up here.
