Give Your Home a Modern, Fresh Look

Many homes in Port Coquitlam — especially those built in the 1970s through 1990s — still have popcorn ceilings. While once popular, these textured ceilings now make rooms feel darker and dated.

Whether you own a family home in Citadel, a townhouse in Glenwood, or a rental property in Oxford Heights, we’ll help update your ceilings with minimal disruption.

Why Port Coquitlam Homeowners Choose to Remove Popcorn Ceilings

Modern Style: Smooth ceilings make homes feel brighter, more open, and up to today’s design standards.

Health Benefits: Popcorn ceilings collect dust, allergens, and even moisture — a concern in Port Coquitlam’s damp climate.

Increased Property Value: Updated ceilings improve resale value and attract buyers in neighbourhoods like Lincoln Park and Riverwood.

Safety: Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos in the ceiling texture. Professional testing and safe removal is essential.

Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process

We make the process clear, clean, and stress-free so you know exactly what to expect:

1. Preparation & Protection

We begin by covering your floors, furniture, and walls with protective sheeting. The work area is sealed off to keep dust contained and your Port 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 Port 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

After removal, we repair any cracks, uneven surfaces, or imperfections in the drywall. Skim coats and sanding are applied to create a flawless, smooth ceiling.

4. Finishing & Painting

Our team can prime and paint your ceilings immediately after removal. Many Port Coquitlam homeowners choose this service for a complete, polished finish.

5. Cleanup & Final Walkthrough

Once the work is done, we remove all coverings, vacuum and wipe down surfaces, and restore the room to its original condition. We finish with a walkthrough so you can see the results for yourself.

"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.
