Local Details for Applewood
Homes off Fieldgate Dr, Bloor St, Dixie Rd and Burnhamthorpe Rd often have painted popcorn and a history of electrical upgrades. We test a discreet area first: if scraping risks the substrate or paint build is heavy, we use safe encapsulation before a full Level 5 skim. We feather around trims and old repairs so edges disappear, then prime with a stain-block system to prevent bleed-through.
Our workflow keeps stairs and key routes open, with room isolation and daily tidy so kitchens and bedrooms remain usable. You get a clear scope at the start, photo updates during the job, and a predictable handoff.

- Two-storeys where long hallways show seam telegraphing.
- Open main floors needing consistent reflectance across rooms.
