Ready for smooth ceilings?

Text photos for a same-day ballpark. Serving Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Milton, Etobicoke.

Will it be dusty?

We seal rooms, cover floors and vents, and use vacuum-assist sanding. Most dust is captured at the source.

What if my popcorn is painted?

We use a resurfacing approach: create key, bond, then full-plane skim to Level-5 flatness.

How long does it take?

Typical homes: 3–5 days depending on size, drying conditions, and add-ons (repairs, pot-lights).

Do you handle clean-up?

Yes. Protection comes off, HEPA vacuum, wipe-down, fixtures back on β€” rooms ready to use.
