Our Queen Alexandra popcorn ceiling removal process in Edmonton, step by step

Full dust containment before we scrape

Scraping popcorn is dusty work. Before we touch the ceiling in your Queen Alexandra home, we mask doorways, cover floors and protect fixtures.

Skim coat, drying time and the sanding pass

Once scraped, we repair cracks, apply a skim coat, let it dry fully, then sand flat with a pole sander — skipping drying time is the most common reason skim coats crack.
