Full dust containment before we scrape

Smooth ceiling vs knockdown re-texture in Forest Heights

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 Forest Heights homes with open layouts and new lighting.

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

Full dust containment before we scrape a single line in Edmonton

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

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

Once the ceiling is scraped clean, we repair any cracks or seams that show up. Next comes the skim coat — a thin layer of compound across the whole Forest Heights ceiling to fill the roughness the scrape leaves behind. It has to dry completely before sanding. Skipping that drying time is the most common reason Edmonton skim coats crack or show texture through paint. We do not rush it. Final sanding is done with a pole sander to leave the ceiling dead flat and ready for paint.
