Knockdown ceiling removal in Precedence for a clean modern ceiling

In Precedence, a knockdown or splatter ceiling ages the room and collects dust and cobwebs ridge by ridge. In Precedence we remove dated knockdown texture and refinish the ceiling — either skimmed dead-flat to a smooth modern look or re-textured cleanly. Precedence is a growing Cochrane community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so the knockdown work here is usually refresh and resurfacing before a repaint. We cover Precedence and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of knockdown ceiling removal in Precedence?

Area, finish and condition

The cost in Precedence 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 Precedence

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 Precedence ceiling. A lot of our Precedence work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Our Precedence knockdown removal process, step by step

Mask, protect and scrape

Knockdown removal in Precedence 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 Precedence hand-off. A lot of our Precedence work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

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

Flat, modern ceilings

A dead-flat ceiling is the current look and the one most Precedence 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. A lot of our Precedence work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Precedence: what shapes the job

Housing in Precedence is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different knockdown ceiling removal work.

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