Artista Drywall specializes in popcorn ceiling removal for homeowners in Edgemont, Calgary. Many homes in this established community were built in the 1982-1995 and feature popcorn or stipple ceilings that are ready for a modern update. Ceiling conditions in Edgemont typically include stipple and knockdown textures are widespread; some 1980s homes retain original popcorn ceilings; vaulted ceilings appear in select split-level and bi-level models. Removing popcorn texture and refinishing to a smooth ceiling brightens every room and adds measurable value to your home.
Some homes in Edgemont 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 Edgemont often have their own texture challenges: older 1980s homes have 7 to 7.5-foot basement ceilings with concrete block foundations; 1990s homes improved to 8-foot poured concrete; many basements have been developed over the decades. 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 Edgemont 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.
