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 Rosedale Ravine, we've learned that Rosedale Georgian mansions 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. Rosedale Georgian mansions from the 1860s-1930s era often require additional prep for estate-scale exterior projects.
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 Rosedale 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. For Rosedale Georgian mansions, we select products proven to perform against estate-scale exterior projects.
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 Glen Road and across Rosedale by never skipping this final quality check.
