Popcorn & Texture Removal in Kamloops, BC

Removing a popcorn or stipple ceiling is the single change that most modernises an older Kamloops home. We do it cleanly, safely and with a properly smooth finish afterwards.

Test before anyone scrapes

Textured ceilings in homes built or renovated before the 1990s can contain asbestos. Disturbing that material without testing puts everyone in the house at risk, so a lab test on a small sample comes first — always.

If the result is positive, the removal becomes a job for a certified abatement contractor, and we're happy to work behind them once the space is cleared. If it's negative, we proceed with the removal ourselves.

Removal is only half the job

Scraping a ceiling exposes whatever was hiding under the texture: unfinished joints, visible fasteners, old patches and board damage. Texture was often sprayed precisely to avoid finishing those things.

That's why every removal we do includes taping and skim coating afterwards. The result is a genuinely flat, paint-ready ceiling — not a scraped surface with the old problems now on display.

Protecting an occupied home

Texture removal is messy work, so containment matters. Floors and fixtures are covered, doorways sealed, and debris bagged as we go rather than at the end of the day.

Most rooms are scraped, finished and sanded within a few days. We'll give you a realistic room-by-room schedule at quoting so you know which spaces are out of use and when.

Our Process

How the work actually runs.

01

Test

Pre-1990s textures are sampled and lab-tested for asbestos before any work begins.

02

Contain

Floors, fixtures and doorways are protected and sealed to keep dust in one room.

03

Remove

Texture is softened and scraped down to clean board, with debris bagged as we work.

04

Skim & smooth

Joints re-finished and the full ceiling skimmed, sanded and left ready for primer.

Recent Work

Examples from Kamloops projects.

1970s bungalow ceilings

Main-floor popcorn tested clear, removed and skimmed across three rooms while the owners stayed in the house.

Condo renovation

Stipple ceilings flattened in a Kamloops condo under strata rules, with containment and scheduled quiet hours.

Post-abatement finishing

After a certified abatement crew cleared an asbestos ceiling, we re-taped and skimmed the surface to a smooth finish.
