Popcorn Ceiling Removal for Barrie Homes

A textured ceiling dates a room, holds dust and is close to impossible to patch invisibly. Taking it back to a flat, painted surface changes how the whole room feels, often more than new wall colour does.

Texture sprayed on before roughly 1990 may contain asbestos. In a house of that age we advise sending a sample to a lab before anyone scrapes. A positive result means the removal has to be carried out by an asbestos abatement contractor under Ontario's rules. A clear result means we can go ahead.

The room is closed off with plastic and the floors and walls are covered. The texture is dampened and scraped, then the ceiling is skim-coated and sanded flat. If the texture has been painted, or scraping would tear the drywall, we skim over it instead. Primer and ceiling paint finish the job.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal questions

Popcorn Ceiling Removal FAQs

Common questions about popcorn ceiling removal.

Is there asbestos in my ceiling?+
Possibly, if the texture went on before about 1990. A lab test on a small sample is the only way to be sure, and we advise having one done before removal in an older house.
How much mess should I expect?+
A lot of it, all inside the plastic. The room is closed off, surfaces are covered, and everything is cleaned up before we leave.
How many days per room?+
Usually two or three, to allow for scraping, skim-coating, drying, sanding, priming and painting.
The texture has been painted. Does that matter?+
Yes, paint makes it very hard to scrape. A skim coat over the top is normally the better route to a flat ceiling.
Can pot lights go in during the job?+
A licensed electrician has to do that. Book them before we finish the ceiling and we will patch around the new fixtures.
