Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process Burlington
Our proven 4-phase system takes Burlington ceilings from textured to Level 5 smooth in 24 hours. Here's exactly how we deliver dust-controlled, paint-ready results every time.
Phase 01
Initial Contact & Estimate
Photo Estimate
Text or email photos of your ceilings with room dimensions. We reply within hours with a labour-only range.
On-Site Visit
Burlington crew inspects ceiling condition, measures exact sq ft, checks for asbestos (pre-1990), and locks final quote.
Written Scope
Clear document outlining what's included, timeline, payment terms, and warranty. You approve before we schedule.
Phase 02
Prep & Protection
Room Isolation
Plastic containment walls, zipper doors, floor protection, furniture wraps, and vent masking keep dust contained.
Safety Setup
Scaffold for high ceilings, stair railings wrapped, HEPA air scrubbers positioned, and work zone clearly marked.
Pre-Work Checklist
Walk-through with homeowner, confirm scope, answer questions, and share crew contact for daily updates.
Phase 03
Removal & Skim Coat
Popcorn Removal
Safe scraping or encapsulation (if painted). Warm water mist for unpainted texture, HEPA vacuum collection.
Drywall Repairs
Fix cracks, tape blisters, nail pops, and water damage. Stitching for settlement cracks, mesh for larger repairs.
Level 5 Skim Coat
Full-surface skim, feather seams, HEPA-assisted sanding. We re-skim any areas that flash under raking light.
Phase 04
Prime & Inspect
Stain-Block Primer
High-build primer covers repairs, blocks old stains, and creates uniform surface for paint. Two coats if needed.
Raking-Light Inspection
Crew lead checks ceilings under angled light to spot any imperfections. We correct before final sign-off.
Deep Clean & Turnover
HEPA vacuum floors, wipe surfaces, remove all protection, and review finish with you. Paint-ready guaranteed.

Process FAQ — Burlington Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Can I stay in my Burlington home during removal?
Yes. Our containment system keeps dust in the work zone. Most families stay home and continue daily routines.
How long does a typical bedroom take?
A 12×12 bedroom goes from popcorn to primed in 6-8 hours with a 2-person crew.
What if the popcorn is painted?
We test first. If scraping risks damage, we encapsulate with compound and skim to Level 5 for a smooth finish.
Do you need to see the ceiling before quoting?
Photos + measurements give us a labour-only range. On-site visit locks final price and schedule.
What's included in the 3-year warranty?
Covers cracks, peeling, or visible seams caused by our workmanship. Excludes settling or impact damage.
