Can you do the Fraser removal and painting as one job?

Yes — that is exactly how we run Fraser jobs. One Fraser quote covers scraping, skim coat, priming and paint.

Do I need an asbestos test?

If the Fraser home is pre-1990 and the material is unknown, yes — scraping is exactly what makes it airborne. Where it is present, skimming over without disturbance is often safer and cheaper than removal.

How long does removal and painting take in an Fraser home?

A standard Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont main floor runs two to three days including drying time between skim coat and paint. Your Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont on-site quote comes with a realistic timeline.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting Fraser Edmonton | Scrape & Repaint

Popcorn removal and painting in Fraser, one crew end to end

In Fraser, popcorn removal is only complete once the fresh skim is primed and painted — a step most homeowners end up booking separately. In Fraser it is one booking: we scrape the texture, skim it flat, prime it correctly and paint it, all in the same job. Fraser is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common. We cover Fraser, Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont and Northeast, 7 days a week.

Why one booking for removal and painting makes sense in Fraser

Freshly skimmed drywall needs the right primer

A just-scraped, just-skimmed Fraser ceiling is porous and uneven until primed correctly — paint applied too early or with the wrong primer shows every roller mark. Because we scrape and finish the popcorn ceiling removal in Fraser ourselves, we know exactly when it is ready to paint.

No second contractor, no second wait

Most homeowners end up booking a painter separately after ceiling removal. No waiting in Fraser — one trusted team, one schedule.

Fraser drywall in context

About Fraser

Named for John Fraser, an original homesteader in the area and one of the first trustees of the Belmont School, Fraser is located in the City's far northwest.

What we see in Fraser

In Fraser the drywall work is popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, settling+truss-uplift cracks, nail pops, Poly-B repipe patching repipe patching. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

One crew from scrape to finish coat

Where the handoff usually fails

A ceiling stripped by one trade and painted by another leaves nobody owning the surface in between. The painter finds the skim is not flat; the scraper says it was paint-ready.

What changes

When the same Fraser crew scrapes, skims and paints, the surface is prepared to the standard the paint actually needs, and there is one number and one accountability rather than two.

Containment for a whole-ceiling job

Two messes, not one

Scraping produces wet heavy debris. Sanding the skim produces fine dust that travels. A popcorn removal and repaint generates both.

How the room is set up

Sealed openings, full floor protection, covered furnace returns, and the room emptied or everything centred and covered. It takes longer to protect the room than to scrape the ceiling, and that is normal.

Our Fraser process, step by step

Scrape, skim and let it dry

We mask the room, scrape the texture to bare drywall, repair any cracks, skim coat and let it fully dry before sanding flat — skipping drying time is why some skim jobs crack.

Prime, then paint

Once sanded flat, we prime the fresh skim coat with the correct primer, then paint two to three coats depending on the colour change and wall condition to a clean, even ceiling in your Fraser home.

Asbestos, and the pre-1990 question

Scraping is the risk

Popcorn texture in Fraser homes from before roughly 1990 can contain asbestos, and scraping is exactly the activity that makes it airborne.

What we do

Where the age is uncertain and the material unknown, it gets tested before anyone scrapes. If it is present, skimming over it without disturbance is often both safer and cheaper than removal.
