Our Satoo 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 Satoo home.

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 Satoo 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 Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove home.

What the ceiling looks like after scraping

Texture was hiding something

Popcorn was often applied to Satoo 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.
