Modern Ceiling Refinishing for New Westminster Homes

Popcorn ceilings were once a popular choice in New Westminster homes, but today they make interiors feel dated and can even impact resale value. Gordon Drywall and Painting offers professional popcorn ceiling removal in New Westminster BC, helping homeowners achieve clean, modern finishes that brighten and open up their spaces.

Whether you live in a heritage home in Queen’s Park, a family house in Glenbrook, or a condo near the Quay, our team provides safe, efficient, and mess-free textured ceiling removal tailored to your home.

Room-by-Room Removal

If only one or two rooms in your home still have popcorn ceilings, we can remove them quickly with minimal disruption to your household.

Full-Home Ceiling Removal

For New Westminster homes that still have textured ceilings throughout, we provide complete removal and refinishing for a consistent, updated look.

Repair and Removal After Water Damage

Leaks and water stains are especially noticeable on popcorn ceilings. We remove the damaged texture, repair the drywall, and smooth out the entire surface.

Ceiling Removal During Renovations

If you’re updating your New Westminster home, it’s the perfect time to include ceiling removal in your renovation. We’ll coordinate with your schedule for a seamless transformation.

Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process

We follow a clear, proven process that ensures quality results and minimal disruption:

1. Preparation and Protection
Before work begins, we protect your New Westminster home by covering floors, furniture, and walls and sealing off the workspace to keep dust contained.

2. Safe and Controlled Removal
If the ceiling texture hasn’t been painted, we dampen it for low-dust removal. If it’s been painted, we use HEPA drywall sanding equipment for safe, efficient removal. Many New Westminster homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos in ceiling textures, so testing is required before removal. If asbestos is detected, certified abatement must be done. Alternatively, we can encapsulate by installing new drywall over the ceiling, sealing in the old texture for a clean, smooth finish.

3. Repairs and Skim Coating
We repair cracks and seams, then skim coat and sand the ceiling to create a perfectly smooth surface ready for finishing.

4. Finishing and Painting
We prime and paint your ceilings—or leave them primed if you’d like to paint yourself—ensuring a polished, finished appearance.

5. Cleanup and Walkthrough
Once work is complete, we vacuum, wipe down, and remove all coverings. We finish with a walkthrough to ensure your satisfaction.

"I highly recommend Gordon Drywall and Painting for any painting and drywall needs you may have. From meeting with Shawn, to setting up appointments, to the completion of the job, I was very impressed. Steve did an excellent job of repairs to the drywall, and both he and Becky did an absolutely amazing job of painting. I will certainly have Gordon Drywall and Painting back to complete the upper part of my home. They are just excellent in what they do. Thank you Shawn, Becky, and Steve for such an incredible job."

Excellent service. The job was repairing and repainting kitchen ceiling after changing the lighting. Very professional and very pleasant doing business with Shawn at Gordon Drywall, who arranged and quoted the job. Beckie did a great job on site and the ceiling looks better than new! Cleaned up when the job was done and left the place spotless. Glad I called Gordon Drywall for this job and I would recommend this business.

Excellent experience! Detailed quote, clear timelines and skilled workers/crafters who all came when scheduled and delivered on time. Went out of their way to help us re-finish a basement room that had been damaged due to upgrades in electric and plumbing. Shawn clearly cares about the work done and the health of his team. He helped us navigate asbestos testing - negative thank goodness - before proceeding. Exceeded expectations.
