How Scheduling Works Today
Call, chat, or submit photos and measurements, then choose an on-site or virtual assessment window, after which we confirm access details, parking, elevator bookings if required, and email a clear scope with alternatives, inclusions, exclusions, and provisional allowances tailored to your property.
What Your Estimate Includes
We break down removal, repair, priming, and painting lines, specify materials and film thickness, list protection methods and waste handling, note potential contingencies, and provide a start date range with milestones, payment schedule, and warranty coverage clearly defined in plain language.
Virtual vs On-Site Assessments
Virtual assessments are great for standard popcorn ceilings and small patches when lighting is sufficient, while complex water damage, access limitations, or bylaw-sensitive condos benefit from in-person inspections that capture moisture readings, substrate condition, ventilation, and logistical constraints accurately.
Dust-Controlled Scraping and Containment
We seal rooms with floor-to-ceiling poly, tape seams meticulously, and run HEPA air scrubbers to capture airborne particulate, enabling wet and dry scraping sequences that reduce splatter, visibility issues, and cleanup time while protecting adjacent finishes and sensitive electronics.

Asbestos Testing and Compliance
For pre-1990 buildings, we coordinate third-party asbestos testing, submit samples to accredited labs, and follow Ontario regulations, pausing removal until results are clear, and if positive, implementing Type 2 or Type 3 procedures with documented containment, disposal manifests, and crew certifications.

Skim Coating and Level 5 Finish
After texture removal, we treat fastener pops, embed tape where needed, apply multiple tight skim passes, sand under bright raking light, and spray high-build primer to achieve a Level 5 finish that reads flawlessly even under low-angle daylight conditions.

Ceiling Repair and Patching
From minor cracks to significant water-damaged sections, we diagnose causes, stabilize substrates, replace compromised drywall, and finish seamlessly so repairs disappear in normal lighting, preserving property value and preventing recurring issues through proper ventilation, insulation, and leak remediation recommendations.
Water Damage Diagnostics
We trace stains to source, use moisture meters, inspect plumbing penetrations and attic spaces, and document necessary drying times, ensuring repairs follow sound building science and that paint systems will not fail due to trapped moisture or remaining contamination.
Crack and Seam Stabilization
We open joints to sound material, install fiberglass or paper tape with setting compounds, and introduce expansion details where movement demands, producing durable lines that resist telegraphing through topcoats and keep ceilings smooth for years under seasonal changes.
Drywall Replacement and Blending
Where boards are beyond repair, we cut back to the nearest joist or channel, install new drywall with proper fasteners and adhesive, then blend texture or smooth finish so transitions disappear after priming and carefully matched repainting.
Painting and Finishing
Our finishing approach pairs the right primers and topcoats with Level 4 or Level 5 surfaces, delivering durable, uniform sheen and color that resists flashing, hides patches, and holds up to everyday living in Toronto’s varied light conditions.
- Primer Selection and Stain Blocking We specify bonding primers for slick surfaces, shellac or specialty stain blockers for tannins and water marks, and high-build options for minor porosity issues, ensuring topcoats lay evenly and maintain consistent sheen across previously textured or repaired areas.
- Airless Spraying vs Rolling Depending on occupancy, ventilation, and finish goals, we choose controlled airless spraying for the smoothest results or rolling for occupied spaces, always masking thoroughly, balancing odor concerns, and managing overspray risk to achieve predictable, impeccable outcomes.
- Color Matching and Sheen Selection We measure existing colors under neutral light, provide drawdowns, and recommend sheens based on room height, natural light angles, and wear, so ceilings remain bright, cohesive, and easy to maintain without highlighting minor substrate imperfections.
Cleanliness and Protection
We prepare meticulously with poly sheeting, tape, ram board, and zipper doors, protect HVAC returns, and establish negative pressure with HEPA filtration, keeping dust contained and your furniture, floors, and finishes safe during every stage of the project.
Condo and High-Rise Compliance
We coordinate with property managers, book elevators, provide insurance certificates, and respect quiet hours, ensuring popcorn removal and ceiling repairs proceed smoothly in Toronto condominiums without violations, fines, or avoidable delays caused by access or bylaw issues.
-
We secure elevator bookings within building windows, install protective pads, and supply certificates of insurance naming the corporation as additionally insured, streamlining approvals and preventing last-minute cancellations that could disrupt schedules and increase project costs unnecessarily.
-
We plan noisy phases within permitted hours, deliver tenant notices as requested, and sequence quieter tasks strategically, reducing complaints and keeping boards supportive while maintaining productivity and quality standards required for premium smooth ceilings.
-
We isolate return grills, use low-VOC products where possible, and schedule priming and topcoat windows to align with ventilation performance, helping sensitive occupants remain comfortable without compromising adhesion, cure times, or long-term durability.
Safety, Licensing, and Insurance
Our crews carry Ontario trade licenses where applicable, WHMIS and working-at-heights training, WSIB coverage, and comprehensive liability insurance, applying job hazard analyses and safe work procedures that protect people, property, and building systems throughout every project.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in a typical Toronto condo?
Most one-bedroom or small two-bedroom condos require one to three days depending on size, access, and finish level, because careful containment, skim coating, and primer cure times must be respected to achieve smooth, durable results without lingering dust or odour issues.
Is asbestos testing required, and how do you handle positive results?
In pre-1990 buildings we recommend testing before disturbance, and if a sample returns positive we pause work, implement regulated procedures with enhanced containment and PPE, coordinate licensed abatement where required, and resume finishing after certified clearance is documented.
How messy is the process and how do you control dust?
We build floor-to-ceiling containment, mask surfaces carefully, run HEPA filtration with negative pressure, and clean daily with HEPA vacuums, greatly reducing airborne dust and migration so occupied homes remain comfortable and safe during multi-day projects.
What does the free same-day estimate include and how accurate is it?
Your estimate outlines scope, protection, materials, finish level, schedule windows, and bylaw considerations, with photos and measurements, allowing precise pricing that rarely changes unless hidden damage or client-driven scope upgrades are discovered and approved in writing.
Are you licensed and insured, and what warranties do you provide?
We maintain WSIB coverage, carry comprehensive liability insurance, follow safety training standards, and provide written multi-year workmanship warranties, giving you confidence that quality issues will be addressed promptly and professionally should anything require attention after completion.
What preparation should I do before your crew arrives, and can you move furniture?
Please remove delicate items, artwork, and small furnishings, and we can relocate larger pieces as needed, cover remaining items, protect floors thoroughly, and restore essential access daily so you can live comfortably during the project.
