1. All pre 1990 homes are tested for asbestos. Asbestos was used in many drywall and plastering products prior to 1990. Asbestos free and Asbestos containing textures can be both be smoothed, but the process is different.
2. Secondly we prepare the area by protecting all walls, flooring and furniture.
3a. Asbestos containing texture is encapsulated and plastered over.
3b. Asbestos free texture is removed.
4. We apply your choice of finish including smooth, knock down, orange peel or stamped.
5. The ceiling is then painted in the colour and lustre of your choice.
6. The area is cleaned, and your ready to enjoy your new space.
Project size, asbestos, and your chosen finish all affect how long a project will take. A simple 1000 sf to 2000 sf Popcorn removal project with a knockdown finish can be completed in as little as two working days, while the same job with a Smooth or Slick Finish can take 5-6 days to complete.
Textured finish hide imperfections in the drywall and plaster. Smooth finished hide nothing.
During original popcorn ceiling installation, Drywall finishers are only required to use one coat of mud over tape joints, corners and fasteners. The texture hides the imperfections.
By comparison, a smooth finish hides no imperfections and requires two or three plaster coats over your entire ceiling to achieve a smooth feathered appearance.
Generally a smooth finish takes 3 to 4 times as long as a textured finish.
A typical asbestos free ceiling smoothing and painting runs around $4 per square foot.
In determining cost, we include several factors such as overall square footage, ceiling elevation and desired finish.
textured finishes can be less, while high ceilings, and asbestos containing texture will be more.
All projects in homes built before 1990 require asbestos sampling before we can complete our estimate.
You can choose your own hazardous material testing service, or we can take the samples.
We’re able to take samples of your plaster/texture for lab testing. The first sample is $150 and each additional sample is $70.00. Most project require between one and three samples.
Lab testing is provided by BUREAU VERITAS NORTH AMERICA and you will receive a copy of the report.
