Learn moreOur Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process
A proven approach that delivers consistent, beautiful results
Room Preparation
All furniture is covered or moved, floors are protected with heavy-duty plastic and drop cloths, and light fixtures are carefully removed or covered.
Ceiling Wetting
The textured surface is misted with water to soften the popcorn material. This makes removal cleaner and reduces dust throughout your home.
Texture Scraping
The softened texture is carefully scraped off using wide blades. We work section by section, checking for hidden damage or asbestos-era materials.
Skim Coating & Sanding
The bare ceiling is skim-coated with joint compound for a perfectly smooth surface. Multiple passes and fine sanding create a flawless finish.
Priming & Painting
PVA primer seals the new surface, followed by two coats of Benjamin Moore ceiling paint for a perfectly uniform, bright white finish.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal FAQ for Richmond Hill Homeowners
Answers to the questions we hear most often
How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost in Richmond Hill?
Popcorn ceiling removal in Richmond Hill typically costs $3 to $5 per square foot including skim coating and painting. A typical room runs $800 to $1,500. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your specific ceilings.
Is popcorn ceiling removal messy?
It can be, but we contain it completely. All furniture is covered, floors are protected with heavy plastic and drop cloths, and we work room by room. Our cleanup process leaves your home spotless.
Do popcorn ceilings contain asbestos?
Popcorn ceilings installed before 1990 may contain asbestos. If your Richmond Hill home was built before 1990, we recommend testing before removal. We can arrange testing and follow all safety protocols if asbestos is present.
How long does popcorn ceiling removal take?
One room takes about a day including scraping, skim-coating, and first paint coat. A full home with multiple rooms typically takes 3 to 5 days. Drying time between skim coat and paint is the main factor.
Can you remove popcorn from just one room?
Absolutely. Many Richmond Hill homeowners start with the living room or master bedroom and do other rooms later. There is no minimum room requirement. We treat each room as a complete, standalone project.
What does the ceiling look like after removal?
Smooth, clean, and modern. We skim-coat the ceiling after scraping to create a perfectly flat surface, then apply primer and two coats of ceiling-white paint. The transformation is dramatic.
Will removing popcorn texture damage my walls?
No. We mask the wall-ceiling junction carefully and work with precision. The walls are fully protected throughout the process. If any minor touch-ups are needed at the ceiling line, we handle those as part of the project.
Do you offer popcorn ceiling removal and painting together?
Yes, and we recommend it. Combining ceiling removal with room painting gives you the most cohesive result. Many Richmond Hill homeowners use popcorn removal as the starting point for a full room refresh.
