Should older Ritchie homes test for asbestos before removal?

On older Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia ceilings, a test before disturbing the texture is a sensible precaution. We flag it and can refer you to a testing service before work starts on your Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia ceiling.

Can you leave the ceiling smooth after removal in Ritchie?

Yes. The Ritchie ceiling gets skimmed, properly dried and sanded flat.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal Ritchie Edmonton | Stipple Removal

Popcorn ceilings scraped flat and paint-ready in Edmonton

Popcorn and stipple ceilings age an Ritchie home quickly. Whether you have the heavy stipple common in older Ritchie homes or a lighter texture from the 1990s, we scrape it down, skim the ceiling flat, sand smooth and leave it paint-ready. Ritchie is a higher-end Scona community where ceiling work is usually about smooth upgrades, pot light finishing and pre-sale presentation rather than original stipple removal. On Ritchie jobs the dust stays contained, floors stay covered, and the room is cleaned before we go. We cover Ritchie, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

Our popcorn ceiling removal process in Ritchie in Edmonton, step by step

Full dust containment before we scrape a single line in Ritchie

Scraping popcorn is dusty work. Before we touch the ceiling in any Ritchie home, we mask doorways with poly sheeting, cover the floor with drop sheets and protect all light fixtures. Most Ritchie 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 Ritchie ceilings

Once the ceiling is scraped clean, we repair any cracks or seams that have opened up. The skim coat follows — compound floated thin over the full Ritchie ceiling to bury the scrape marks. It needs to dry completely before sanding. Skip the drying window and an Ritchie skim coat will crack or show through the paint. We do not rush it. The final sanding pass is done with a pole sander and leaves the Ritchie ceiling dead flat and ready for primer.
