Popcorn Removal for Milton Homes
Milton’s mix of newer subdivisions and classic pockets means ceilings can combine different substrates and lighting conditions. We tailor the workflow and finish with a Level 5 skim so ceilings read flat under daylight and LEDs across open sightlines in kitchens, great rooms and hallways.
Floors and stairs protected, furniture shielded, rooms sealed and vents masked. For painted texture we test a discreet area to choose controlled scrape vs safe encapsulation. Either path leads to full-field skim, HEPA-connected sanding and stain-block primer for a bright, uniform read.
Detailed Scope for a Level 5, Paint-Ready Ceiling
