Read about City of Markham: Markham Village heritage tourTextured ceilings were popular for decades, and many now look dated. With the room sealed, we scrape the texture off and collect the debris as we go. The bare ceiling underneath is then ready for repairs and skimming.
Scraping leaves a rough ceiling with old seams and scrape marks. Thin skim coats of compound fill those flaws and level the surface. After sanding and primer, the ceiling looks like new drywall.
Dents behind doors, holes from old shelves and cracks at corners are everyday drywall damage. Each one needs a slightly different fix, from filler to a new insert. You’ll see the repairs listed room by room in your quote.
Drywall sanding spreads fine dust quickly through open doorways. Plastic barriers, floor covering and careful cleanup keep it in the work area. Furniture that stays in the room sits under protective sheeting.
A photo from the doorway shows the ceiling’s size and shape. Close photos show the texture and any cracks or stains. With both, we can usually price the work before coming out.
A freshly skimmed ceiling needs primer before its finish coat. Flat ceiling paint hides small flaws and reflects light evenly. Your quote can include the walls if you want the whole room refreshed.

Protection, removal, repairs and painting each appear as their own line. You choose which parts go ahead once you’ve seen the costs.
Markham lists repairs and decorating among work without a building permit, while changes to a structural wall need one.
City of Markham permit informationYes, we cover the lights and work carefully around them. If a fixture must come down, an electrician handles that part. We skim and finish the ceiling right up to each trim ring.
Yes, most people stay home and keep out of the work room. We seal the doorway and keep dust contained. Your other rooms stay free of scraping and sanding.
Yes, those corner cracks are common as a house settles. We cut out the loose material, add flexible tape where it suits and refinish. A light coat of paint then blends it in.
When damage is large or the board is soft from water, a full sheet is often easier. We cut it out to the nearest framing, fit new drywall and tape the joints. Sanding leaves the surface smooth and ready for paint.
Each step has its own line: protecting the room, scraping, repairs, skim coats and paint. Paint can be left off if you would rather arrange it separately. That way you see exactly what each part costs.
A smooth ceiling suits almost any room style. If other ceilings keep their texture, the difference may show at doorways. We’ll talk about where to stop so the change looks intentional.
