Can popcorn ceilings be removed?

Yes. The texture is tested if the house is old enough to be at risk, then removed or covered and the ceiling is skimmed smooth and painted.

Should old plaster be repaired or replaced with drywall?

Sound plaster can be repaired and is good for soundproofing. Where it is loose or badly cracked, or where wiring and insulation are being replaced, new drywall is usually better.

Drywall and Painting in Vaughan

Flat walls, crisp corners and smooth ceilings are what make new finishes look right. It is slow, careful work, and it shows in every room when it is rushed. In Vaughan, most homes date from the 1980s onward: large detached houses in planned subdivisions, with estate properties around Kleinburg.

Before you start

What to know.

Finish level
Walls that will be lit by pot lights or large windows need a higher level of finish, because raking light shows every seam.
Older walls
Many older Toronto houses have plaster on lath. It can be repaired, covered or replaced, and the right choice depends on its condition.
Textured ceilings
Some older textured ceilings contain asbestos. They should be tested before they are scraped or disturbed.
