Knockdown Ceiling Removal West Jasper Place Edmonton: your questions answered

Why does it take several days?

The coats have to dry. Scraping is a day; the taping repairs, skim coats and sanding are spread out because forcing them produces shrinkage cracks a month later. We give you the real schedule.

Do I need to worry about asbestos?

If the West Jasper Place home is pre-1990 and the material is unknown, it gets tested before anyone scrapes — scraping is exactly what makes it airborne. Where it is present, skimming over without disturbance is often safer and cheaper than removal.

Is it better to scrape the knockdown or skim over it?

It depends what is underneath. If the texture releases cleanly and the board and tape below are sound, scraping gives the flattest result. If the texture is painted hard or the tape is failing, skimming over it is faster, cleaner and often the better ceiling. We test a patch in West Jasper Place before quoting.

Will the pot lights and vents still line up afterwards?

Yes. Fixtures, vents and the wall junction are the details that make a re-finished ceiling look original, so they are cut in and detailed rather than skimmed around. It is the part that separates a flat ceiling from a finished one.

Can you fix cracks while the texture is off in my West Jasper Place home?

Yes — with the knockdown off in West Jasper Place, cracks, nail pops and stains are repaired before the skim, so the finished ceiling is clean and sound.

What will you find under the texture?

Often rough taping — knockdown was frequently applied to hide it. Until it is off nobody knows how much repair is needed, so we tell you what the test patch suggests and what would push it rather than quoting one number and revising.
