We are committed to delivering a seamless, high-quality transformation with minimal disruption to your home. Here’s what you can expect:

Inspection & Prep

Before beginning any work, we perform a thorough inspection of your home’s ceilings to understand the condition and scope of the project. Proper preparation is crucial to protect your space and ensure a seamless process:

  • Covering Furniture and Floors: We move or cover furniture and lay down protective drop cloths over floors, walls, and any other surfaces to prevent dust and debris from spreading.
  • Sealing Off Areas: To minimize dust and disruption to the rest of your home, we seal off work areas as needed.
  • Safety Measures: We take care to ensure safety standards are met for your household and our team, especially if the removal involves older, asbestos-containing popcorn ceilings.
Safe Removal Of Popcorn Ceiling

Our expert team employs proven techniques to safely and efficiently remove the popcorn texture from your ceilings:

  • Wet Scraping (if applicable): In many cases, we lightly wet the popcorn texture to minimize dust and make it easier to remove.
  • Hand and Specialized Tools: Using professional tools, we scrape away the textured layer, ensuring minimal mess while preserving the underlying structure.
  • Disposal: All debris and removed material are carefully collected and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Surface Smoothing & Repairs

After the popcorn texture is removed, we turn our attention to creating a smooth, modern surface:

  • Identifying Imperfections: We inspect the ceiling for any damage, cracks, or uneven areas.
  • Patching and Filling: Any holes or dents are filled using a high-quality joint compound, restoring the ceiling’s integrity.
  • Sanding: We sand the surface to create a smooth finish, eliminating rough patches for a clean, even result.
  • Priming (if necessary): To ensure optimal paint adhesion, we apply a primer, creating a consistent base for painting or other finishes.
Ceiling Paint & Finishing

Once the ceiling has been smoothed and prepared, we offer additional services to achieve a polished final look:

  • Painting: Choose from a wide range of paint colors and finishes. We apply professional-grade paint for a flawless and durable finish.
  • Decorative Finishes: If desired, we can apply textured or specialty finishes to enhance the appearance of your newly smoothed ceiling.
  • Final Cleanup: Our team thoroughly cleans up the work area, leaving your home tidy and ready to enjoy.
