Do you do popcorn ceiling removal in Applewood Park?

Yes — Applewood Park is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston and every Calgary quadrant.

Does my Applewood Park home need an asbestos test before ceiling removal?

If your home was built before 1990, we recommend a bulk-sample test before removal. We advise on the process and schedule the job around the result.

How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in a Applewood Park home?

A standard main floor is typically a one-to-two day job. Vaulted ceilings or a re-texture take a bit longer. We give you a realistic timeline at the on-site quote.

Can you leave the ceiling smooth after removal in Applewood Park?

Yes. We skim, dry fully and sand flat. If you prefer knockdown re-texture, we do that too and match the pattern to adjoining ceilings.

How do you control the dust during popcorn ceiling removal in Applewood Park?

We mask doorways, cover floors and protect fixtures before we touch the ceiling, and we clean up before we leave.

How do you match the texture on an older Applewood Park home exactly?

We test the pattern — knockdown, orange peel or stipple — on scrap board first, then build it up in the same stages the original was applied, checking under raking light before we call it finished.

What affects the cost of popcorn ceiling removal in Applewood Park?

Ceiling area, height and access

The main cost drivers in Applewood Park are total ceiling area, ceiling height (vaulted or cathedral ceilings take more setup), and whether you want smooth or knockdown re-texture. A straightforward removal typically takes one to two days.

Pre-1990 ceilings — asbestos testing before removal

If your Applewood Park home was built before 1990, we recommend a bulk-sample asbestos test before any ceiling removal — we advise on the process and schedule around the result.

Our Applewood Park popcorn ceiling removal process, step by step

Full dust containment before we scrape

Scraping popcorn is dusty work. Before we touch the ceiling in your Applewood Park home, we mask doorways, cover floors and protect fixtures.

Skim coat, drying time and the sanding pass

Once scraped, we repair cracks, apply a skim coat, let it dry fully, then sand flat with a pole sander — skipping drying time is the most common reason skim coats crack.

Smooth ceiling vs knockdown re-texture in Applewood Park

Smooth Level 5 finish

Smooth shows light beautifully and makes a room feel bigger, but demands a very clean skim and sanding job — it works well in Applewood Park homes with open layouts and new lighting.

Knockdown re-texture

Knockdown gives a lightly textured ceiling that hides minor imperfections and is faster to achieve. We match the pattern to adjoining Applewood Park ceilings when you want continuity.

Common popcorn ceiling situations in Applewood Park

Homes in Applewood Park are now several decades old, so we handle stipple and popcorn ceiling removal, settling cracks and nail pops from years of seasonal movement, and — for homes plumbed in the Poly-B era — wall and ceiling patching after repipes. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
