Can you leave the ceiling smooth after removal in University of Alberta Farm?

Yes. The University of Alberta Farm ceiling gets skimmed, properly dried and sanded flat. In University of Alberta Farm homes with new LED lighting or open-concept spaces where the ceiling is always in view, smooth Level 5 finish is the right choice. If knockdown is your choice in University of Alberta Farm, we apply it and blend it to the neighbouring ceilings.

Can you make the ceiling completely flat?

Yes — we take University of Alberta Farm ceilings to a flat Level 4 or Level 5 finish once the popcorn is off, ready for paint.

How do you handle texture matching after popcorn ceiling removal work in University of Alberta Farm?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in University of Alberta Farm. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

How messy is popcorn ceiling removal?

It produces a lot of fine dust when done without containment. We mask doorways with poly sheeting, cover all floors and protect fixtures before we scrape a single line. Most Edmonton homeowners tell us they expected a much bigger mess and were surprised at how clean we kept the house.

How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in a Edmonton home?

A standard main floor in a Edmonton bungalow or bi-level — two or three rooms — is typically a one-to-two day job. Vaulted ceilings, open-plan main floors or re-texture work stretch the University of Alberta Farm schedule a little. Your University of Alberta Farm on-site quote comes with a realistic timeline.

Is asbestos testing recommended before removal in older University of Alberta Farm homes?

If an University of Alberta Farm ceiling predates modern texture, testing before disturbance is the reasonable step. We flag it and can refer you to a testing service before work starts on your University of Alberta Farm ceiling.
