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. Working near Liberty Village Park, we've learned that Liberty Village townhouse complexes benefit from a thorough pre-project assessment.
Ceiling Wetting
The textured surface is misted with water to soften the popcorn material. This makes removal cleaner and reduces dust throughout your home. Homes near Liberty Village Park often share similar prep needs, and our crew knows exactly what to expect.
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. Our years of working in Liberty Village have taught us which approaches work best for the local housing stock.
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. We've learned from 15 years in Liberty Village exactly which application methods work best on 1880s industrial + 2000s residential surfaces.
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 Liberty Street and across Liberty Village by never skipping this final quality check.
