Popcorn ceiling removal and painting in Skyrattler — one booking, done

Removing a Skyrattler popcorn ceiling always ends in paint — the fresh skim has to be primed and finished, and most homeowners otherwise book a separate painter. In Skyrattler it is one booking: we scrape the texture, skim it flat, prime it correctly and paint it, all in the same job. Skyrattler is an older Whitemud community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up. We cover Skyrattler, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Our Skyrattler 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 Skyrattler home.
