Do you remove and paint popcorn ceilings in Rundle?

Yes — Rundle 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.

Can you do the removal and the painting as one job?

Yes — that is how we do it. One quote covers scraping, skim coat, priming and paint.

Does my Rundle home need an asbestos test before 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.

A standard main floor is typically a two-to-three day job including drying time between the skim coat and paint. We give you a realistic timeline at the on-site quote.

Yes. We walk the finished Rundle ceiling with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

We're renovating our Rundle home and found rough drywall behind old cabinets — can you fix that?

Yes — that's a common find in homes this age. We patch and skim it flush with the rest of the wall so it's ready for new cabinetry, tile or paint.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting Rundle Calgary

Popcorn ceiling removal and painting in Rundle — one booking, done

Removing a popcorn ceiling always ends with paint — the freshly skimmed drywall has to be primed and finished, and most homeowners end up booking a separate painter for that step. In Rundle it is one booking: we scrape the texture, skim it flat, prime it correctly and paint it, all in the same job. Rundle is an established NE Calgary community of older homes where repair and stipple-ceiling work are common. We cover Rundle, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

Popcorn and stipple scraping in Rundle — all types
Skim coat to a flat smooth ceiling
Correct primer for freshly skimmed drywall
Finish paint to a clean, even ceiling
Crack and seam repair before the skim coat
Asbestos awareness — we advise on testing for pre-1990 ceilings
Rundle coverage, one crew, one invoice

Why one booking for removal and painting makes sense in Rundle

Freshly skimmed drywall needs the right primer

A ceiling that was just scraped and skimmed is porous and uneven until it is primed correctly — paint applied too early or without the right primer shows every roller mark. Because we scrape and finish the popcorn ceiling removal in Rundle ourselves, we know exactly when it is ready to paint.

No second contractor, no second wait

Most homeowners end up booking a painter separately after ceiling removal. We do not make you wait — one crew, one schedule.

What affects the cost of popcorn removal and painting in Rundle?

Ceiling area, height and coverage

The cost in Rundle depends on the total ceiling area, ceiling height (vaulted ceilings take more setup), and how many coats full coverage needs over the new skim coat. We assess on site and price the whole job before we start.

Pre-1990 ceilings

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

Our Rundle process, step by step

Scrape, skim and let it dry

We mask the room, scrape the texture to bare drywall, repair any cracks, skim coat and let it fully dry before sanding flat — skipping drying time is why some skim jobs crack.

Prime, then paint

Once sanded flat, we prime the fresh skim coat with the correct primer, then paint often three coats to fully cover aged paint, patched plaster and stained sections to a clean, even ceiling in your Rundle home.

Common popcorn removal and painting situations in Rundle

By now most Rundle homes have been through at least one round of renovation, so we regularly patch drywall left rough behind old cabinetry or flooring trim, and skim whole rooms flat when owners are finally removing the original textured ceiling. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
