About Ritchie

Our Ritchie 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 age and condition of the specific home to a clean, even ceiling in your Ritchie home.

Why one booking for removal and painting makes sense in Ritchie

The primer step decides the finish

Scraped-and-skimmed Ritchie board is porous until correctly primed; early or wrong-primer paint telegraphs each roller pass. Because we scrape and finish the popcorn ceiling removal in Ritchie 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. In Ritchie there is no hand-off gap: same trusted team, same schedule.
