Dovercourt drywall in context

About Dovercourt

Dovercourt and surrounding area was annexed to Edmonton in 1913 but remained practically undeveloped until after the Second World War.

What we see in Dovercourt

In Dovercourt the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Testing before quoting

A patch tells you the price

We wet and scrape a small area of the Dovercourt ceiling first. Texture that softens and releases means scraping; texture that has been painted will not soften, and scraping tears the board face.

Two different jobs

Scrape-and-skim and skim-over are different labour and different schedules. Quoting one and doing the other is how ceiling jobs go over, so we test rather than assume.

What the ceiling looks like after scraping

Texture was hiding something

Popcorn was often applied to Dovercourt ceilings because the taping underneath was rough. Once it is off you see the joints, fastener rows and old repairs.

Why the quote carries a range

Nobody knows how much taping repair is needed until the texture is off. We say what the test patch suggests and what would push it, rather than one number that gets revised.

Priming, and why it is not optional here

Fresh compound everywhere

A newly skimmed Dovercourt ceiling is uniformly porous and takes finish paint unevenly without a sealer.

The consequence

Skipping the primer produces a patchy sheen that shows under the very fixtures the ceiling is lit by. On a ceiling, which is lit at the worst possible angle, it is the least forgiving place to save a step.
