How We Handle Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Monte Creek
Popcorn ceilings were common for a long time, and a house near Monte Creek could have been built at almost any time. Ranching here goes back to 1862, so some homes are old, and others are newer. The first question is when yours was built. WorkSafeBC says asbestos was widely used in BC building materials until the early 1990s, and that you cannot tell by looking, so an older ceiling should be tested before anyone scrapes it.
If the ceiling is clear, we take it from there. Furniture is moved or covered, floors are protected and openings are masked. The texture comes off, the ceiling is skimmed smooth and sanded, and then it is painted. Quick Fix cleans up at the end of every work day. You check the finished ceiling with the crew before final payment.

Local Knowledge
Damp winters and skim coat drying in Monte Creek
Removing popcorn texture and skimming the ceiling adds water to the room, and that water has to leave before paint goes on. In January at Kamloops airport, humidity averages around four-fifths at 6 am and about three-quarters at 3 pm, against about one-third on a July afternoon. A damp, cold house dries slowly. For winter work, keep the heat steady and the air moving, and expect the drying steps to take longer than in summer.
Sherwin-Williams says traditional latex paint needs temperatures above 60 degrees F to cure properly, so the room cannot be allowed to chill. Spring and fall can be easier, when a window can be opened between the last frost, around the end of April, and the first, around mid-October. Tell us which rooms you need back first, and we will plan the order of ceilings around your household.

Common Questions
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Questions in Monte Creek
Think about the age of the house. WorkSafeBC says asbestos was widely used in BC building materials until the early 1990s, and you cannot tell by looking. If your house is from before then, test the ceiling first.
Qualified professionals. WorkSafeBC says only qualified professionals can remove asbestos, and that you should not touch or move a material you suspect. We tell you plainly if a ceiling needs testing before our work starts.
It can. January humidity at Kamloops airport averages around four-fifths at 6 am and about three-quarters at 3 pm. The skim coat and the paint dry more slowly in damp, cold air, so we plan for steady heat and airflow.
Often, yes. Between the last spring frost around the end of April and the first fall frost around mid-October at Kamloops airport, a window can be opened once the ceiling is cleared and the dust is controlled.
Furniture is moved or covered and floors are protected. Openings are masked, and the crew cleans the site at the end of every work day.
Yes. Tell us which ceilings at the visit. Each room is masked and covered so the work stays in that room.
