If knockdown is your choice in North Glenora, we apply it and blend it to the neighbouring ceilings.

Does my North Glenora home need an asbestos test before ceiling removal?

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

How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in a North Glenora home?

A standard main floor in a North Glenora home — two or three rooms — is typically a one-to-two day job. Expect a slightly longer North Glenora timeline for vaulted or open-concept ceilings, or when re-texturing. The on-site visit in North Glenora includes a realistic schedule estimate.

Do pre-1990 Edmonton ceilings need an asbestos test before removal?

Yes, we recommend it. Stipple and popcorn texture applied before the early 1990s can contain asbestos in the binder compound. A single bulk-sample test from a certified Edmonton lab costs under $100 and takes a few business days. We will walk you through the process in North Glenora and schedule the job around the result. We do not scrape unknown pre-1990 ceilings without clearance.
