Does my Callingwood South home need an asbestos test before ceiling removal?

If your Callingwood South home was built before 1990, we recommend a bulk-sample asbestos test before removal. Pre-1990s stipple on Callingwood South ceilings sometimes contains asbestos-bearing binder compound. A single sample from a certified Edmonton lab costs under $100 and takes a few business days. You get straight advice in Callingwood South and a schedule set around the outcome. No confirmation, no scrape — the rule for pre-1990 Callingwood South ceilings.

Our popcorn ceiling removal process in Callingwood South, step by step

Full dust containment before we scrape a single line in Callingwood South

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

Once the ceiling is scraped clean, we repair any cracks or seams that have opened up. Next comes the skim coat — a thin layer of compound across the whole Callingwood South ceiling to fill the roughness the scrape leaves behind. It needs to dry completely before sanding. Rushed drying time is the top reason Callingwood South skim coats crack or telegraph texture through paint. We do not rush it. The final sanding pass is done with a pole sander and leaves the Callingwood South ceiling dead flat and ready for primer.
