Our Westmount 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 Westmount home.

Fixtures, vents and the wall line

The details that finish it

Pot light trims and vent covers come down rather than being cut around, and the junction where ceiling meets wall is cut clean.

Why they decide the look

A perfectly flat, well-painted Westmount ceiling still looks unfinished if there is a ragged ring at each fixture or a wavering line at the wall. This is the part that separates a stripped ceiling from a refinished one.

Testing before quoting

A patch tells you the price

We wet and scrape a small area of the Westmount ceiling first. Texture that softens and releases means scraping; texture that has been painted will not soften, and scraping tears the board face.

Two different jobs

Scrape-and-skim and skim-over are different labour and different schedules. Quoting one and doing the other is how ceiling jobs go over, so we test rather than assume.

Our Westmount 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 Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt home.
