Do you remove knockdown ceilings in Cityscape?

Yes — Cityscape is part of our regular service area and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant.

Is knockdown ceiling removal messy?

It can be, but not the way we run a Cityscape job: full masking, protection and dust control. We leave your Cityscape home clean.

Knockdown ceiling removal in Cityscape for a clean modern ceiling

In Cityscape, a knockdown or splatter ceiling ages the room and collects dust and cobwebs ridge by ridge. In Cityscape we remove dated knockdown texture and refinish the ceiling — either skimmed dead-flat to a smooth modern look or re-textured cleanly. Cityscape is one of NE Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so the knockdown work here is usually refresh and resurfacing before a repaint. We cover Cityscape, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of knockdown ceiling removal in Cityscape?

Area, finish and condition

The cost in Cityscape depends on the ceiling area, the finish you want (a dead-flat Level 5 takes more skim work than a re-texture), and the condition underneath — cracks or stains found once the texture is off add a little time. We assess on site and price it before we start.

Skim flat vs re-texture in Cityscape

Most homeowners here go flat for a modern look, but we also re-texture cleanly if you prefer. We tell you what each option involves so you can choose for your Cityscape ceiling.

Our Cityscape knockdown removal process, step by step

Mask, protect and scrape

Knockdown removal in Cityscape is messy if it is done wrong, so we mask walls, mask off the room and protect floors first, then scrape the texture cleanly back to the board.

Skim, sand and finish

With the texture off, we repair any cracks or stains, then skim the ceiling flat in coats with full drying time, sand and check under raking light — or apply a clean new texture if that is what you chose. Primed-ready ceiling, clean room — the Cityscape hand-off. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Cityscape, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Skim flat or re-texture? What suits your Cityscape ceiling

Flat, modern ceilings

A dead-flat ceiling is the current look and the one most Cityscape homeowners choose when they remove knockdown — it makes a room feel larger and cleaner.

A fresh, consistent texture

If you prefer texture, we can apply a clean knockdown or a lighter finish that is even across the whole ceiling, rather than the dated, heavy splatter that is there now. Both come up here. Most of Cityscape went up recently enough that we are usually working against a builder's original finish rather than someone else's repair.

Common knockdown removal situations in Cityscape

In Cityscape, cityscape is a community still building out. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out. Same trusted team, same process on every job — on-site quote, fixed price, no surprises.

Why Cityscape homeowners trust Emplastrum for knockdown removal

In Cityscape

What to expect from knockdown ceiling removal in Cityscape

Cityscape is recent enough that we are normally working with original, untouched surfaces — which makes matching straightforward and keeps the knockdown ceiling removal quicker than it would be in an older area.

In Cityscape we are often the second trade to look at a wall, so the first question is what the original finish actually was.

Basements in Cityscape run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
