Artista Drywall specializes in popcorn ceiling removal for homeowners in Sundance, Calgary. Many homes in this established community were built in the 1982-1992 and feature popcorn or stipple ceilings that are ready for a modern update. Ceiling conditions in Sundance typically include stipple and knockdown textures predominate; some earlier homes retain popcorn ceilings; 8-foot ceiling heights throughout. Removing popcorn texture and refinishing to a smooth ceiling brightens every room and adds measurable value to your home.
Some homes in Sundance 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 Sundance often have their own texture challenges: 7.5 to 8-foot poured concrete basements; earlier 1980s homes have slightly lower ceilings; many basements finished in the 1990s and now in need of renovation. 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 Sundance 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.
Sundance enjoys a privileged location between Fish Creek Provincial Park and its own private lake, giving residents access to both wild natural parkland and a maintained recreational waterfront. The Fish Creek pathway system is accessible from the community's western boundary, and the Sundance lake provides swimming, skating, and community events. The neighbourhood has the feel of an established, well-maintained SE community where families have grown up and stayed, drawn by the combination of park access, lake amenities, and good schools. As Sundance continues to see renovation activity and infill development, popcorn ceiling removal remains one of the most requested services in the area. Artista Drywall serves Sundance and nearby communities including Chaparral, Midnapore, Lake Bonavista with the same precision finishing on every project.
What We Offer

We protect all flooring, fixtures, and furnishings before beginning, and clean up thoroughly after scraping is complete. Homes built before 1990 in Sundance 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 Sundance prefer a subtle texture for visual interest while still upgrading from the dated popcorn look.
