Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting Mactaggart

Popcorn ceiling removal and painting in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill — one booking, done

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

Our Mactaggart 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 Mactaggart home.
