Smooth, Modern Ceilings for Your Richmond Home

Popcorn ceilings were once standard in many Richmond homes, but today they make interiors feel dated and can even lower your property’s appeal. Gordon Drywall and Painting provides professional popcorn ceiling removal in Richmond BC, helping homeowners replace old, textured surfaces with smooth, modern finishes that brighten and refresh any space.

Whether you live in a family home in Steveston, a townhouse in Brighouse, or a rancher in Broadmoor, our team delivers safe, efficient, and mess-free textured ceiling removal that leaves your home looking updated and polished.

Room-by-Room Projects

If you only need to update one area, such as a living room, bedroom, or hallway, we can remove the popcorn ceiling quickly and cleanly for a fresh new look.

Full-Home Ceiling Removal

For Richmond homes that still have popcorn ceilings throughout, we offer complete ceiling removal services for a smooth, consistent finish across every room.

Water-Damaged Ceiling Restoration

Popcorn ceilings often show stains or bubbling after leaks. We remove the damaged material, repair the drywall, and refinish the surface to look like new.

Ceiling Removal During Renovations

Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process

We follow a proven process to ensure reliable results for Richmond homeowners:

1. Preparation and Protection
Before we start, we cover floors, furniture, and walls with protective sheeting and seal off work areas to keep dust contained and your home tidy.

2. Safe and Controlled Removal
When possible, we dampen the popcorn texture to soften it for low-dust removal. If the surface is painted, we use HEPA sanding tools for safe, controlled removal. Many Richmond homes built before 1990 may have asbestos in ceiling textures, so testing is required before removal. If asbestos is present, licensed abatement must be completed first. As an alternative, we can encapsulate by installing new drywall over the existing ceiling, leaving a perfectly smooth finish.

3. Repairs and Skim Coating
After removal, we repair cracks and seams, then apply skim coats and sanding for a flawless, smooth surface.

4. Finishing and Painting
We can prime and paint the ceilings to match your home’s décor or leave them primed and ready for your preferred finish.

5. Cleanup and Walkthrough
Once the job is complete, we clean thoroughly—removing all coverings, vacuuming, and wiping down surfaces. We then walk you through the finished space to ensure you’re fully satisfied.

"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.
