Transform Your Home with Smooth, Modern Ceilings
Popcorn ceilings were a common choice in Coquitlam homes built in the 1970s through 1990s. Today, they’re seen as outdated and can make rooms feel smaller and darker. Gordon Drywall & Painting provides professional popcorn ceiling removal in Coquitlam BC, delivering clean, modern finishes that brighten and refresh your space. From family homes in Burke Mountain to condos near Coquitlam Centre, we help homeowners achieve a polished look that adds value and comfort.
Why Coquitlam Homeowners Remove Popcorn Ceilings
Homeowners across Coquitlam are making the switch for good reasons:
Modern Style: Smooth ceilings make homes look brighter, larger, and more in line with today’s design trends.
Health Benefits: Popcorn ceilings trap dust, allergens, and even moisture — a concern in Coquitlam’s damp climate.
Higher Property Value: Ceiling updates can improve your home’s resale appeal in neighbourhoods like Westwood Plateau and Maillardville.
Safety: Older popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos if built before 1990. Professional testing and removal is key for peace of mind.
Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process
We take pride in offering a detailed, step-by-step approach so you know exactly what to expect:
1. Preparation & Protection
Before work begins, we cover all floors, walls, and furniture with protective sheeting. We seal off the work area so dust and debris stay contained, keeping your Coquitlam home clean throughout the project.
2. Safe & Controlled Removal
When the popcorn or textured ceiling has not been painted yet. Using proven methods, we often dampen and soften the popcorn texture so it can be removed with minimal or no dust. Or we will use a Hepa Drywall Vacuum Sander to remove and/or knockdown the popcorn ceiling first.
For Coquitlam homes built before 1990, asbestos testing is needed. If testing reveals asbestos, you will either have to get a certified asbestos abatement company to do the removal so it is completed safely before any work can start. Otherwise we can also offer another method which involves us installing a single layer of drywall over the existing one, this is called encapsulation. Abatement is not required with this method.
3. Repairs & Skim Coating
Once the texture is gone, imperfections in the underlying drywall are repaired. Our team applies skim coats and sanding to achieve a perfectly smooth surface, ensuring a flawless finish every time.
4. Finishing & Painting
We can prime and paint your new ceilings, giving them a clean, bright look that complements the rest of your home. Many Coquitlam homeowners choose our team for both removal and painting, so the entire project is completed seamlessly.
5. Cleanup & Final Walkthrough
At the end of the job, we remove all protective coverings, vacuum and wipe down the area, and return your home to its original condition. We then walk you through the finished ceilings to ensure you’re completely satisfied.
