Popcorn Ceiling Removal — Lorne Park, Mississauga

Popcorn Removal for Lorne Park Homes

Lorne Park is known for mature trees, larger lots and bright interiors that show every ceiling flaw. Morning light through big windows and evening LEDs along long hallways can reveal waves, tape telegraphing and patch edges that looked fine at night. Our approach is tailored to those conditions: protect the home thoroughly, choose the safest removal method, and finish with a Level 5 skim so ceilings read flat and modern from entry to family room.

We start with protection: floors and stairs covered, railings wrapped, furniture shielded, HVAC vents masked, and rooms sealed so dust stays inside containment. If the texture carries multiple paint layers, we test a discreet section to decide between controlled scraping and safe encapsulation. Either route leads to a full-field skim, vacuum-assist sanding and a stain-block primer that equalizes porosity and prevents flashing when you paint.

Around Lorne Park Rd, Indian Rd, Lakeshore Rd W, and streets south of the QEW, open sightlines and angled daylight can be unforgiving. We inspect surfaces under the same raking light your home gets at different times of day. Low areas are re-skimmed until the ceiling reads consistently smooth — not just “good enough,” but truly flat under bright whites and neutral finishes popular in Lorne Park.

Many projects include lighting upgrades. We blend pot-light cutouts, fixture moves and previous patches so they disappear after primer. For rooms with vaulted sections or higher landings, we add safe staging to reach returns and keep edges crisp where ceiling planes meet skylight wells or bulkheads.

Communication is simple: you’ll receive a clear scope and schedule up front, photo updates during the job, and tidy daily wrap-ups so family life continues. We are WSIB and liability insured and include a written 3-year workmanship warranty.

Detailed Scope for a Level 5, Paint-Ready Ceiling

1. Protection & Containment: Floors, stairs, railings, cabinetry and furniture protected; rooms sealed; vents masked.
2. Method Test: Small area test to choose scrape vs encapsulation according to paint build and substrate.
3. Removal/Encapsulation: Remove texture where feasible; otherwise stabilize and proceed to full skim.
4. Repairs: Corner cracks, tape lifts, fixture moves, pot-light rings, previous patch edges and water stains.
5. Level 5 Skim: Full-field skim; feathered through transitions and into returns/bulkheads.
6. Raking-Light Inspection: Checked from windows and LEDs; re-skim until the surface reads flat.
7. Vacuum-Assist Sanding: Smooth the surface while capturing dust at the tool.
8. Stain-Block Primer: Lock down marks and equalize porosity for a bright, uniform read.
9. Paint-Ready Handover: Leave a clean, protected site or complete finish coats on request.
10. Tidy Wrap-Up: Remove masking, vacuum and reset rooms so life carries on without mess.
