Popcorn ceilings, also called textured or stucco ceilings, were popular from the 1950s to the 1980s. They helped hide imperfections and reduce noise but are now seen as outdated. Many homeowners find them hard to maintain and believe they lower a property’s appeal.
We offer professional popcorn ceiling removal in Calgary to modernize your home or commercial space. We focus on quality, efficiency, and safety to give your ceilings a smooth, fresh look that improves your interior’s style.

Our Services
Ceiling Flattening
One of the key services we offer is ceiling flattening, which involves carefully smoothing your ceiling after popcorn texture removal. This process enhances the look of your space and provides a smooth surface for painting or decorative features. A flat ceiling complements minimalist and modern interiors, giving your room a fresh, updated feel. Calgary Painters specializes in creating even, seamless ceilings that become a highlight of any room, with an expert team that focuses on every detail to ensure a perfect finish.
Asbestos Ceiling Removal
For homes and buildings built before the 1980s, popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos, a hazardous material once used in construction. Calgary Painters prioritizes your safety by offering specialized asbestos ceiling removal services. Our trained team follows strict safety rules, handling testing and secure disposal carefully. We manage the entire process to make sure your space is free from harmful materials. With our professional service, you can feel confident that your home or commercial property is safer for your family or occupants.
Ceiling Refinishing
Once your popcorn ceiling is removed and the surface is flattened, our ceiling refinishing services add the perfect finishing touch. Whether you want a classic white ceiling, a subtle textured finish, or a bold pop of color, Calgary Painters has you covered. We use premium paints and materials to create a polished, durable finish that enhances your space’s overall look.
Ceiling refinishing allows you to customize the appearance of your ceiling to suit your style and preferences. With Calgary Painters, you’re not just removing an outdated feature—you’re elevating the design of your entire room.
Benefits of Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Popcorn ceiling removal offers numerous advantages beyond just visual appeal. Here are some of the top benefits our customers experience:
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: A smooth ceiling provides a sleek, modern look that complements contemporary interior designs, making your space feel larger and more inviting.
Increased Property Value: Homes with updated ceilings tend to attract more buyers and higher offers. Removing popcorn ceilings is an investment in your property’s value.
Improved Lighting: Textured ceilings often create shadows that can make a room appear dimmer. A flat ceiling reflects light more effectively, brightening your space.
Ease of Maintenance: Popcorn ceilings are notorious for trapping dust, cobwebs, and other debris. Once removed, your new smooth ceiling is much easier to clean and maintain.
Reduction in Allergens: The texture of popcorn ceilings can harbor dust and allergens, which can aggravate respiratory conditions. A smooth ceiling creates a healthier indoor environment.
Elimination of Health Risks: Older popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos, a hazardous material linked to serious health issues. Professional removal ensures the safe handling and disposal of these ceilings.
