Can you leave the ceiling perfectly smooth after removal?

Yes. We skim the Matt Berry 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.

Does my Matt Berry home need an asbestos test before ceiling removal?

If your Matt Berry home was built before 1990, we recommend a bulk-sample asbestos test before removal. Pre-1990s stipple on Matt Berry 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 Matt Berry and a schedule set around the outcome. No confirmation, no scrape — the rule for pre-1990 Matt Berry ceilings.

How do you handle texture matching after popcorn ceiling removal work in Matt Berry?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Matt Berry. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.
