Planning to repaint, add recessed lights or take out a wall under a textured ceiling? Have the texture tested first. If it contains asbestos, we remove it inside a sealed room and leave the surface ready for its new finish.

Ceiling texture in a house, townhome or other building of four or fewer units has been covered by Minnesota’s asbestos work rules since July 1, 2021, when its exemption ended. A single bedroom or a whole upper floor, in Burnsville, Savage or Prior Lake, gets the same sealed setup.

Ceiling work

Sprayed popcorn texture

The room is cleared and sealed in plastic, and a HEPA negative air machine runs while the texture comes down. It is misted as we scrape so it falls damp into the bags.

Painted or patched ceilings

Tell us if the ceiling has been painted, patched or stained by a leak. We look at it during the visit, so the quote fits the ceiling you have.

Ceiling tiles

Lay-in or glued ceiling tiles from decades past show up on MDH’s list next to popcorn texture. A positive tile is lowered whole if it comes free cleanly and goes into a bag before it can break.

Leaving it in place

A sound ceiling that nobody plans to disturb doesn’t have to come down. Call us back for a fresh look before anyone sands it, drills into it or cuts it open.

Getting ready for ceiling removal

Plan on losing the use of the room until the clearance air test comes back.

Empty the room

Before we arrive, move out the furniture and rugs and take down curtains and anything hanging on the walls. We remove or cover the light fixtures, fans and smoke alarms.

What comes next

The finish you have planned shapes how we leave the room. A skim coat, fresh plaster and a coat of paint each need a slightly different surface, so name the trade that follows us when you book.

Records to keep

Three papers are worth keeping, says MDH, and your contractor should give you each one. They are the permit, the waste manifest and the lab’s report on the air samples. We hand them over together once the ceiling is finished, for your house records.
