Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Kamloops
Textured popcorn ceilings removed, skimmed smooth and painted. In older Kamloops homes the first step is testing the ceiling, so you know what is in it before anyone scrapes.

How We Handle Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Kamloops
Many older homes have textured ceilings. About half of the homes in Kamloops were built before 1980, says the City's 2024 report, so if yours is one of them, your ceiling may carry old texture. Texture can hold dust, throw shadows and make a room feel dated. A smooth, painted ceiling makes a room look cleaner and brighter, and it gives you a fresh start for the walls too.
Removal runs in three steps: take off the texture, skim the ceiling smooth, then paint. In an older home there is a step before all three, which is testing. WorkSafeBC says homes built before 1990 likely have some asbestos, and it lists textured ceiling coat among the materials that often contain it. You cannot tell by looking, so test first.

Local Knowledge
Test first: textured ceilings in older Kamloops homes
WorkSafeBC lists textured ceiling coat among common asbestos-containing materials and says to get a home tested before a renovation or demolition project. It says to hire a licensed asbestos surveyor, and that anyone who deals with asbestos in your home must be licensed to do that work in BC. Never assume a material is free of asbestos just by looking at it.
Line the test up with your plan. If the result is clear, the removal, skim coat and paint can be scheduled. If it finds asbestos, that ceiling needs a licensed abatement contractor first, and the smoothing and painting follow once the ceiling is cleared. Either way, expect floors to be covered, furniture moved and dust protection to be part of the plan.

You can, but the bumps stay. Removal and a skim coat give you a flat ceiling. The choice is yours, and we can price both so you can compare.
We cover floors, move heavy furniture and mask what should not get dusty. We leave the site clean each evening. Tell us at the visit which rooms you most want protected.
Check your strata rules for noise, work hours and any past asbestos survey of the building. About one in four Kamloops homes are in low-rise apartments or row houses. WorkSafeBC also tells strata councils to get testing before maintenance that could disturb asbestos.
