The Leger neighbourhood was named after a long serving Edmonton politician, Edmund Hugh Leger, who was first elected to City Council in 1959 and went on to serve as an alderman for 25 years.

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 Leger 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 Leger home.

What affects the cost of popcorn removal and painting in Leger?

Ceiling area, height and coverage

The cost in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill depends on the total ceiling area, ceiling height (vaulted ceilings take more setup), and how many coats full coverage needs over the new skim coat. We assess on site and price the whole job before we start.

Pre-1990 ceilings

If your Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill home was built before 1990, we recommend a bulk-sample asbestos test before any removal — we advise on the process and schedule the paint stage around the result.

Doing one room or the whole floor

The doorway line

A flat white ceiling next to an aged popcorn one shows clearly at the door opening, in both texture and colour.

Where to stop

Carry it to a natural break, or accept the transition where a casing hides it. We point out the natural stopping points in the Leger house so the decision is made deliberately rather than discovered afterwards.

What the ceiling looks like after scraping

Texture was hiding something

Popcorn was often applied to Leger 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.
