Why dustless matters
Traditional popcorn scraping fills a home with fine gypsum dust that settles for weeks. Our process pairs controlled scraping with HEPA-filtered mechanical sanding, sealed room containment and daily cleanup. 95% less airborne dust, safe for occupied homes, kids and pets.
What you get
Texture removed, ceiling skim-coated to Level 5 flatness, sealed, primed, and painted with a dead-flat ceiling white. Pot-light cutouts and minor drywall repairs handled in the same visit.
Asbestos: the honest answer
Homes built before 1990 in BC may have asbestos-containing texture. We arrange certified lab testing before disturbing anything ($100–$200 per sample). If it tests positive, licensed abatement is required first. We coordinate it and finish the ceiling after. No contractor should scrape untested pre-1990 texture; walk away from anyone who offers.
