Artista Drywall specializes in popcorn ceiling removal for homeowners in Country Hills, Calgary. Many homes in this established community were built in the 1993-2005 and feature popcorn or stipple ceilings that are ready for a modern update. Ceiling conditions in Country Hills typically include smooth ceilings in 2000s construction; knockdown texture in 1990s homes; vaulted ceilings in executive models. Removing popcorn texture and refinishing to a smooth ceiling brightens every room and adds measurable value to your home.
Some homes in Country Hills built in the late 1980s may still have asbestos-containing popcorn texture, though homes built after 1990 are unlikely to. We always recommend testing before removal regardless of build date. Basement ceilings in Country Hills often have their own texture challenges: 8 to 9-foot poured concrete basements depending on build phase; Country Hills Village homes often have walkout basements with rear yard access. Our removal process uses wet scraping with containment to minimize mess, followed by skim coating and finishing to create a flat, paint-ready surface.
After the popcorn texture is removed, Artista Drywall assesses the underlying ceiling surface and applies the appropriate finish. Most homeowners in Country Hills choose a smooth level 5 finish for a clean, modern look. If you prefer a subtle texture (knockdown, skip trowel, or light orange peel), we can apply that instead. The skim coat or texture is applied in thin, even coats with proper dry time between passes, and the ceiling is sanded to a paint-ready finish.
Country Hills spans a large area of the far north with a range of housing from starter homes to executive properties in Country Hills Village. The Vivo recreation centre (formerly Cardel Place) on the community's border is one of Calgary's premier multi-sport facilities, drawing families from across the north. Country Hills Boulevard serves as the commercial spine with shopping, dining, and professional services that reduce the need to travel south. As Country Hills continues to see renovation activity and infill development, popcorn ceiling removal remains one of the most requested services in the area. Artista Drywall serves Country Hills and nearby communities including Harvest Hills, Panorama Hills, Hamptons with the same precision finishing on every project.
What We Offer
Full removal of acoustic or popcorn texture with minimal mess using wet scraping and containment in Country Hills. We protect all flooring, fixtures, and furnishings before beginning, and clean up thoroughly after scraping is complete. Homes built before 1990 in Country Hills should be tested for asbestos before removal begins.
Skim coat or spot repair of the ceiling surface after texture removal. The underlying drywall often shows seams, ridges, and fastener marks that were hidden by the original texture. We fill and smooth every imperfection before applying the final finish.
Full skim coat to achieve a flat, flawless ceiling ready for paint. Level 5 is the highest standard of finishing and is recommended for ceilings where lighting (especially pot lights or natural light) would reveal any surface irregularities.
Knockdown, skip trowel, or other texture applied post-removal if preferred over a smooth finish. Some homeowners in Country Hills prefer a subtle texture for visual interest while still upgrading from the dated popcorn look.
Full floor or whole-home popcorn ceiling removal completed efficiently for Country Hills homeowners. Multi-room projects benefit from economies of scale, reducing per-room cost and minimizing disruption by completing all work in a single scheduled visit.
