Should older Hollick-Kenyon homes test for asbestos before removal?

On older Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont ceilings, a test before disturbing the texture is a sensible precaution. We flag it and can refer you to a testing service before work starts on your Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont ceiling.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for popcorn ceiling removal?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont, 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.

Do you serve Hollick-Kenyon on weekends?

Yes — we cover Hollick-Kenyon and surrounding communities seven days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . ' for a same-day reply.

How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in an Hollick-Kenyon home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Hollick-Kenyon are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

Do you remove popcorn ceilings in Hollick-Kenyon?

Yes — Hollick-Kenyon is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont and Northeast.

Can you leave the ceiling perfectly smooth after removal?

Yes. We skim the Hollick-Kenyon ceiling, let it dry fully, and sand it flat. In Edmonton homes with new LED lighting or open-concept spaces where the ceiling is always in view, smooth Level 5 finish is the right choice. If you prefer knockdown re-texture — which hides minor imperfections and matches most post-1995 Edmonton new builds — we do that too.

Our Hollick-Kenyon popcorn removal process, step by step

Mask, protect and scrape

Popcorn removal in Hollick-Kenyon is messy if done wrong, so we mask walls, protect floors and furniture first, then scrape the texture cleanly back to the board.

Skim, sand and finish

With the popcorn off, we repair any cracks or stains, skim the ceiling flat in coats with full drying time, sand and check under raking light before leaving it primed-ready.

Smooth ceiling vs knockdown re-texture in Hollick-Kenyon

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 Hollick-Kenyon homes with open layouts and new lighting.

Knockdown re-texture

Knockdown gives a lightly textured ceiling that hides minor imperfections and is faster to achieve. We match the pattern to adjoining Hollick-Kenyon ceilings when you want continuity.
