Yes. After removing the texture in Corvallis and Philomath homes we skim, sand, and finish the ceiling with a fresh low-VOC coat in one continuous project.

Yes, every popcorn ceiling scope in Corvallis, Albany, and Lebanon homes is contained with plastic, zip-poles, and negative-air HEPA machines so dust doesn't spread through the HVAC. Floors and remaining furniture are fully draped. The full plan is walked at the free in-home estimate.

Yes, pre-1980 Albany, Corvallis, and Lebanon homes should be sampled by a certified lab before removal, and we coordinate that testing with the homeowner. Non-hazardous popcorn is scraped, skim-coated, sanded, primed, and finished flat or with a light knockdown. The scope is confirmed after test results at the free in-home estimate.

Standard finish is a smooth level-4 skim coat with a flat ceiling paint, which reads clean in Corvallis, Albany, and Lebanon kitchens and living rooms. A light knockdown texture is available if that matches the rest of the home. Every ceiling scope carries our 3-year transferable warranty.
