Prep & procedure
Step 1:
We start by taping the edges of the walls where they meet the ceiling and attach the wall plastic, draping as we go. Simultaneously, other crew members will be running a thick 3 mil plastic on your floors. When your home is contained we begin removal of fan blades, AC vents, drop lighting, most smoke detectors, as well as any other exposed fixtures.
Step 2:
With the AC off, we start applying a light mist to your ceilings. Once the water is absorbed we scrape the wet popcorn from your ceilings, methodically, as not to damage any seam tape or drywall. Sometimes another light mist is required to make sure we are only left with bare drywall and joint mud. The more cautious we are on the front end, the less touch up we have to do before the ceilings are textured.
As texture commonly takes 1 to 2 days to dry before we return to paint, (depending on the time of year, weather outside, and condition of the A.C.) we ask you please leave your home exactly the same until the process is complete.
