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 Garneau ceiling to bury the scrape marks.

The final sanding pass is done with a pole sander and leaves the Garneau ceiling dead flat and ready for primer.
