Why Modernize Your Ceilings?

  • Increase Home Value

    Smooth ceilings are a high-demand feature for Calgary buyers and instantly modernize an older home's feel.

  • Better Air Quality

    Popcorn texture is a magnet for dust, cobwebs, and allergens. Removal creates a cleaner living environment.

  • Enhanced Lighting

    Flat or knockdown ceilings reflect light more evenly, making your rooms feel brighter and larger.

The Brixel Clean-Removal Process

The biggest fear homeowners have about popcorn removal is the mess. We address this with a Full-Containment Protocol. We isolate the work area with plastic shielding from floor to ceiling, protect all flooring with heavy-duty paper, and use wet-scrape techniques combined with HEPA-vacuum sanding to ensure your home stays clean.

Knockdown vs. Flat Finish

Once the texture is removed, you have choices. A Flat Finish provides the most modern, high-end look but requires a Level-5 drywall finish. A Knockdown Texture is a popular middle ground in Calgary, providing a subtle, contemporary feel that hides minor ceiling imperfections. We'll help you choose the best option for your home's architecture and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer free painting estimates?
Yes, we provide detailed, no-obligation quotes for all residential and commercial projects. We visit your property to ensure accuracy and transparency.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Brixel Painting is fully licensed, insured (comprehensive liability insurance), and WCB covered to ensure peace of mind for our clients.
What is your workmanship warranty?
We stand by our work with a comprehensive 2-year workmanship warranty on all painting projects.
How messy is the popcorn ceiling removal process?
While popcorn removal is inherently a large task, we use a 'Full Containment' system. We mask every inch of your walls and floors with plastic and paper, and use wet-removal techniques to keep dust from becoming airborne.
Can you remove popcorn ceilings in a furnished house?
Yes. We can work around large furniture items by moving them to the center of the room and creating a 'bubble' of plastic protection over them. However, we do recommend removing small breakables and personal items from the work area.
How long does it take to do a whole house?
A standard 2,000 sq ft home typically takes 4 to 6 business days. This allows for removal, multiple coats of mudding to achieve a smooth surface, drying time, priming, and the final paint coats.
