Example project
- Home

- Area
- About 230 sq ft of ceiling across the kitchen and the dining room
- Work
- Kitchen and dining room sealed, grease and texture scraped off wet, after a notice to the clean air agency
- Timeline
- Notice, then two working days
- Cost
- $3,100
In this example, the ceiling over the kitchen in a 1970s Lake Forest Park house is yellow and sticky with decades of cooking grease. Wiping it only smears the texture, so the owners plan new ceilings and lights over the kitchen and the dining room and ask for a test first.
