Our popcorn ceiling removal process in Prince Rupert, step by step

Full dust containment before we scrape a single line in Prince Rupert

Scraping popcorn is dusty work. Before we touch the ceiling in any Prince Rupert home, we mask doorways with poly sheeting, cover the floor with drop sheets and protect all light fixtures. Most Prince Rupert homeowners do not fully appreciate how much fine dust a scrape job generates until they have been through one done without proper containment. We contain it from the start and clean up before we leave.

Skim coat, drying time and the sanding pass on Prince Rupert ceilings

Once the ceiling is scraped clean, we repair any cracks or seams that have opened up. Next comes the skim coat — a thin layer of compound across the whole Prince Rupert ceiling to fill the roughness the scrape leaves behind. It needs to dry completely before sanding. Rushed drying time is the top reason Prince Rupert skim coats crack or telegraph texture through paint. We do not rush it. The final sanding pass is done with a pole sander and leaves the Prince Rupert ceiling dead flat and ready for primer.
