Ceiling Painting & Stipple in Red Deer

Ceilings are the surface people notice last and photograph least, which is exactly why a tired one drags down a room that has otherwise just been redecorated. They are also the messiest surface in the house to paint, which is why masking matters more here than anywhere else.

Ceiling painting

Flat ceilings are cleaned, patched where needed, and painted with the room fully masked and covered — walls, floors, fixtures and anything that cannot be moved out. Spraying gives the most even finish on a large ceiling, and it is only practical because everything else is protected first.

Stipple and textured ceilings

Stipple ceilings need a different approach from flat ones. The texture holds far more paint, it has to be worked into rather than skimmed over, and an existing stipple finish can loosen if it is soaked. Damaged stipple can be patched, and matching the surrounding texture is a large part of the job.

A note on older stipple

Textured ceiling finishes applied before the 1990s can contain asbestos. It is not a reason to panic — undisturbed material is generally considered low risk — but it is a reason not to start sanding or scraping an old stipple ceiling without knowing what it is. If a ceiling is that age and the finish needs disturbing, testing comes first. If a test shows asbestos, removal is specialist work and not something we take on.

Getting a price

Estimates are free and carry no obligation. We look at the space, talk through what you want, and give you a clear price. For ceilings, tell us the approximate area, whether the finish is flat or stippled, and roughly how old the ceiling is.
