Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Clearwater
We remove textured popcorn ceilings in Clearwater homes, skim the ceiling smooth and paint it. Rooms are covered first, and older ceilings may need testing before any scraping begins.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
How We Handle Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Clearwater
A popcorn ceiling is a messy job to remove, and Clearwater homes close up tight for the cold months. Snow lies on the ground for about three months at Vavenby, and January averages near minus 5 degrees. With the windows shut, dust has nowhere to go, so the room is covered and sealed off with care. The process is simple: remove the texture, skim the ceiling smooth, then paint it.
Before any work starts, we visit, look at the ceiling and give you an itemized written quote. Furniture is moved out or covered, floors are protected and openings are masked. After the texture is off, the ceiling is skimmed smooth, sanded and painted. The crew cleans the site at the end of every work day, and you check the finished ceiling with them before final payment.

Local Knowledge
Test older ceilings before removal in Clearwater
WorkSafeBC says asbestos was widely used in BC as a building material until the early 1990s, and that you cannot tell by looking. It says never to assume a material is free of asbestos, and to stop work and have a qualified professional survey a material you suspect. That applies to the texture on an older Clearwater ceiling. If your house was built before the early 1990s, get the ceiling tested before anyone scrapes it.
Good timing helps too. Removal and skim coating bring moisture into the room, and a cold house dries slowly. Sherwin-Williams says traditional latex paint needs temperatures above 60 degrees F to cure, so the heat has to stay on. Winter can be a fine season for ceiling work in Clearwater, since inside work does not need the frost-free months, but only if the rooms are warm and the dust is controlled.
