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. For Arts and Crafts homes in Lawrence Park, we pay special attention to large homes with complex exterior trim during this stage.
Ceiling Wetting
The textured surface is misted with water to soften the popcorn material. This makes removal cleaner and reduces dust throughout your home. The 1910s-1940s construction common in Lawrence Park means we allocate extra time for proper surface work.
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. In Lawrence Park, this step is especially important for Arts and Crafts homes dealing with large homes with complex exterior trim.
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. Lawrence Park homeowners expect a premium result, and this step is where that quality becomes visible.
Priming & Painting
PVA primer seals the new surface, followed by two coats of Benjamin Moore ceiling paint for a perfectly uniform, bright white finish. We've built our reputation along Mount Pleasant Road and across Lawrence Park by never skipping this final quality check.
