Our Baturyn popcorn removal process, step by step

Mask, protect and scrape

Popcorn removal in Albany, Athlone, Baranow is messy if done wrong, so we mask walls, protect floors and furniture first, then scrape the texture cleanly back to the board.

Skim, sand and finish

With the popcorn off, we repair any cracks or stains, skim the ceiling flat in coats with full drying time, sand and check under raking light before leaving it primed-ready.

Smooth ceiling vs knockdown re-texture in Baturyn

Smooth Level 5 finish

Smooth shows light beautifully and makes a room feel bigger, but demands a very clean skim and sanding job — it works well in Baturyn homes with open layouts and new lighting.

Knockdown re-texture

Knockdown gives a lightly textured ceiling that hides minor imperfections and is faster to achieve. We match the pattern to adjoining Baturyn ceilings when you want continuity.

Left clean and paint-ready in Baturyn

Our popcorn ceiling removal process in Baturyn in Edmonton, step by step

Full dust containment before we scrape a single line in Baturyn

Scraping popcorn is dusty work. Before we touch the ceiling in any Baturyn home, we mask doorways with poly sheeting, cover the floor with drop sheets and protect all light fixtures. Most Baturyn homeowners do not fully appreciate how much fine dust a scrape job generates until they have been through one done without proper containment. We contain it from the start and clean up before we leave.

Skim coat, drying time and the sanding pass on Baturyn ceilings

Once the ceiling is scraped clean, we repair any cracks or seams that have opened up. The skim coat follows — compound floated thin over the full Baturyn ceiling to bury the scrape marks. It needs to dry completely before sanding. Skip the drying window and an Baturyn skim coat will crack or show through the paint. We do not rush it. The final sanding pass is done with a pole sander and leaves the Baturyn ceiling dead flat and ready for primer.

Why Edmonton homeowners choose Emplastrum for popcorn ceiling removal in Edmonton

Mudding and taping is our core skill — the finish is what we are known for

Most general drywall contractors treat the skim coat as a quick add-on. For us, the skim, the sanding and the finish are the whole job on a Baturyn ceiling. We are a mudding and taping specialist, and a perfectly flat, paint-ready ceiling is the standard we hold every Edmonton job to. The same skill that lets us match 30-year-old knockdown texture on a drywall repair is what gives our Edmonton popcorn removal skim coats the flat finish that holds up under new lighting.
