Smooth ceiling finishing after pot light installation in Callingwood North

We skim, sand flat and leave the Callingwood North ceiling consistent and paint-ready. The electrician’s patches disappear completely.

Scraping popcorn is dusty work. Before we touch the ceiling in any Callingwood North home, we mask doorways with poly sheeting, cover the floor with drop sheets and protect all light fixtures.

We contain it from the start and clean up before we leave.

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 Callingwood North ceiling to bury the scrape marks.
