How We Handle Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Merritt
A popcorn ceiling catches dust, hides light and dates a room. In Merritt, we remove the texture, skim the ceiling smooth and paint it, so the room looks cleaner and brighter. The job is dusty by nature. We move heavy furniture, cover the floors and mask what should stay clean before we start. Then we finish with paint in the color you chose with us.
Merritt's climate shapes the work. Winter nights sit near minus 7°C, and smoke can close windows in summer. Both matter for dust and for drying. We visit first, look at the ceilings and the house, and send a clear, itemized written quote. Colors are confirmed and dates set on the calendar. At the end, you inspect the finished ceilings with us.

Local Knowledge
Testing, dust and warm rooms for Merritt ceilings
WorkSafeBC says homes built before 1990 are likely to contain asbestos in some materials, and it lists textured ceiling coats among them. A Merritt homeowner with an older ceiling should have a sample tested by a lab before anyone scrapes. The result decides how the job goes. If the test is positive, a licensed abatement contractor handles removal. If it is negative, we can begin.
After removal, a skim coat needs a warm, steady room. A CertainTeed joint compound data sheet calls for 10°C for 48 hours before application and while it dries. Merritt's winter nights average about minus 7°C, so the heat has to stay on. Summer smoke adds another point: smoke comes in through windows, so we plan dust control with the windows closed.
