Popcorn ceiling removal in Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano for a clean, modern ceiling

Nothing ages an Kenilworth room like a popcorn ceiling. Whether you have the heavy stipple common in older Kenilworth homes or a lighter texture from the 1990s, we scrape it down, skim the ceiling flat, sand smooth and leave it paint-ready. Kenilworth homes from the late 1980s span both sides of the asbestos cutoff — early Kenilworth homes may have pre-1990 ceilings worth testing, while 1990s homes are clear. We contain the dust in Kenilworth, protect the floors, and leave the room clean. We cover Kenilworth, Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

Smooth ceiling vs knockdown re-texture in Kenilworth

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 Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth ceilings when you want continuity.

Our popcorn ceiling removal process in Kenilworth, step by step

Full dust containment before we scrape a single line in Kenilworth

Scraping popcorn is dusty work. Before we touch the ceiling in any Kenilworth home, we mask doorways with poly sheeting, cover the floor with drop sheets and protect all light fixtures. Most Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth ceiling to fill the roughness the scrape leaves behind. It needs to dry completely before sanding. Rushed drying time is the top reason Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth ceiling dead flat and ready for primer.

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 Kenilworth 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.

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

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 Kenilworth ceiling to bury the scrape marks. It needs to dry completely before sanding. Skip the drying window and a Kenilworth skim coat will crack or show through the paint. We do not rush it. The final sanding pass is done with a pole sander and leaves the Kenilworth ceiling dead flat and ready for primer.
