Popcorn Ceiling & Stipple Removal in Lanark County
Dated popcorn and stipple ceilings make a whole room feel older than it is. McIntosh Painting removes stipple and popcorn ceilings across Lanark County and the Ottawa Valley with a dust-controlled process, then skim-coats and repaints for a smooth, modern finish. It's one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make to an older home, and we keep the mess to a minimum.
Dust-controlled removal
Popcorn removal has a reputation for being messy, but it doesn't have to be. We mask and seal off the room, protect floors and any furniture that stays, and remove the texture with careful, moisture-and-scrape methods that keep dust down. Your home stays far cleaner than a typical tear-down, and we haul away the debris.
Skim-coat to a smooth finish
Once the texture is off, the ceiling is rarely paint-ready on its own. We skim-coat with drywall compound, sand smooth, and prime so the finished ceiling is flat and even under paint. Old repairs, seams and imperfections disappear into a clean, modern surface.
Repaint & finish
We finish the job with a fresh ceiling paint, and we can carry the refresh into the walls and trim while the room is already masked. The result is a brighter, taller-feeling, up-to-date room, and a ceiling you'll never think about again. We do this work throughout Lanark County and neighbouring towns.
A note on older ceilings
Some textured ceilings in older homes can contain materials that should be tested before disturbing. We'll talk you through it honestly during the estimate and make sure the work is done safely and correctly.

What Lanark County Homeowners Say
Homeowners and cottagers across Lanark County, the Ottawa Valley and the Rideau Lakes trust McIntosh Painting & Maintenance for honest, quality work.
“Steve repainted the whole interior of our century home and the trim work is flawless. He covered everything, kept it spotless, and finished right on schedule. Honest, hardworking and a pleasure to have in our home.”
“Our old barn roof was rusting badly. MPM treated the rust, primed it and painted it a beautiful fresh red. It looks brand new and stopped the leaks. Fair price and done safely at height. Highly recommend.”
“They restored our tired grey cottage deck and dock back to a rich, warm brown. Sanded, repaired a few boards, and stained it perfectly. It looks incredible and the wood is protected again. So happy we called.”
“Steve sprayed our kitchen cabinets and painted the main floor. The cabinets look factory-finished. No brush marks anywhere. Clean, on time, and the price was exactly what he quoted.”
“Had the popcorn ceilings removed and skim-coated in our living room and hall. I was dreading the mess but they sealed everything off and it was surprisingly clean. Ceilings look smooth and modern now.”
“MPM painted the exterior of our home a deep navy with white trim and it stopped traffic. Proper prep, great colour advice, and it still looks perfect two winters later. Local, honest and reliable.”

Stipple Removal Questions
Is popcorn ceiling removal messy? +
Less than you'd think when it's done right. We seal off the room, protect your floors, use dust-controlled methods and clean up completely, so the rest of your home stays clean.
Do you just scrape, or do you finish the ceiling too? +
We finish it. After the texture is removed we skim-coat, sand, prime and repaint so you get a smooth, move-in-ready ceiling, not a rough surface you have to deal with later.
Can you remove stipple from just one room? +
Absolutely. One room or the whole house. Many homeowners start with a main living area or a bedroom and love the difference enough to do the rest.
