Our Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano 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 often three coats to fully cover aged paint, patched plaster and stained sections to a clean, even ceiling in your Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano home.
