Do you remove popcorn ceilings in Kirkness?

Yes — Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont 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 smooth after removal in Kirkness?

Yes. The Kirkness ceiling gets skimmed, properly dried and sanded flat. In Kirkness 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 knockdown is your choice in Kirkness, we apply it and blend it to the neighbouring ceilings.

Is asbestos testing recommended before removal in older Kirkness homes?

If an Kirkness ceiling predates modern texture, testing before disturbance is the reasonable step. We flag it and can refer you to a testing service before work starts on your Kirkness ceiling.

Does my Kirkness home need an asbestos test before ceiling removal?

If your Kirkness home was built before 1990, we recommend a bulk-sample asbestos test before removal. Pre-1990s stipple on Kirkness ceilings sometimes contains asbestos-bearing binder compound. A single sample from a certified Edmonton lab costs under $100 and takes a few business days. You get straight advice in Kirkness and a schedule set around the outcome. No confirmation, no scrape — the rule for pre-1990 Kirkness ceilings.

Do you stand behind your popcorn removal in Kirkness?

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