Ceiling work & room prices

Ceiling crack repair

High ceilings, loose material, multiple patches or painted texture can change the scope. Testing is priced separately and agreed on before we arrange it. Drying time can add a day; we confirm when the room can be used again.
Before we start
What happens before an older ceiling is scraped?
We arrange a test before any scraping of an older or unknown ceiling material. The result comes first; then we discuss whether and how the work can proceed.
Do I need to empty the whole room?
Take out small furniture, curtains and fragile items. We agree on what can stay, move it toward the center and wrap it. Floors get a protective layer and drop cloths, and doorways are covered. Expect the room to stay out of use during the work.
Can you patch a stain while the ceiling is still wet?
The leak needs to be fixed and the ceiling dry before we patch it. Tell us if the stain has grown or come back so the visit can be planned around that.
Let’s size up the room.
Tell us the approximate room size and what needs attention.
