Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting St. Albert

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

The paint stage is unavoidable after St. Albert popcorn removal — skimmed drywall demands primer and finish, and that normally means a separate painter. In St. Albert it is one booking: we scrape the texture, skim it flat, prime it correctly and paint it, all in the same job. St. Albert is an older Edmonton community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up. We cover St. Albert, Edmonton and Edmonton, 7 days a week.

Our Edmonton 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 Edmonton home.
