Do pre-1990 Edmonton ceilings need an asbestos test before removal?

Yes, we recommend it. Stipple and popcorn texture applied before the early 1990s can contain asbestos in the binder compound. A single bulk-sample test from a certified Edmonton lab costs under $100 and takes a few business days. We will walk you through the process in Evansdale and schedule the job around the result. We do not scrape unknown pre-1990 ceilings without clearance.

Do you stand behind your popcorn removal in Evansdale?

Yes. We walk every Albany, Athlone, Baranow ceiling with you under raking light before we pack up, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

How messy is popcorn ceiling removal?

It produces a lot of fine dust when done without containment. We mask doorways with poly sheeting, cover all floors and protect fixtures before we scrape a single line. Most Edmonton homeowners tell us they expected a much bigger mess and were surprised at how clean we kept the house.

How do you handle texture matching after popcorn ceiling removal work in Evansdale?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Evansdale. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

Is popcorn ceiling removal messy?

Only when done wrong — in Evansdale we mask the room, protect everything and keep the dust contained. We leave your Evansdale home clean.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for popcorn ceiling removal?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Albany, Athlone, Baranow, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require building-management access and working-at-heights permits we do not carry.
