From LumberJack To Thermostat Patrol

Posted on June 25, 2022by Mississauga Contractor

When I was 18 years old my boyfriend and I purchased our first home in the Greater Toronto Area. Our daughter was just over 1 year old and it was the perfect little home for us. Being a young adult you take for granted the basic things in our everyday lives. Like having a furnace, every house comes with one… Right?

During our home inspection, the large wood stove in the basement was lusciously placed with stone up to the ceiling. A centrepiece that lured us into the “This is the coziest basement! We should buy this house.” mindset. A fully finished basement was a must. We were young, had a toddler and in no way did we want to endure any renovation costs. Especially with another baby on the way.

Once fall crept in and cooler nights required more blankets, I asked hubby to turn on the furnace. Then we both had a puzzled look on our face…There was no furnace.

How Popcorn Ceiling Professor is Different

Posted on August 16, 2021by Mississauga Contractor

I can’t believe how much talk about popcorn ceiling removal there is on the web.

Never in a million years would I guess that a building design trend from the 1960’s such as popcorn ceiling would become the reason for one of the hottest home renovation tactics in 2021.

Why is a Smooth Ceiling Appealing?

You would have to look at Mississauga real estate listings for only a few moments to notice that all of the best homes have smooth ceilings. This is no accident. As design trends change over the years, certain trends become ‘sticky’, and I believe that is what we are seeing with the continuous popcorn ceilings removal from homes across the land.

Big homes with high ceilings look even bigger and brighter with zero texture. The ever increasing popularity of pot lights also factors into this type of stucco-free ceilings.

The rooms become brighter and bigger feeling due to the fact that the textured ceiling is no longer blocking the spread of light. Light spreads further, and therefore the room is brighter.

Before & After Popcorn Ceiling Removal (Video)

Posted on June 24, 2018by Mississauga Contractor

Proof that Popcorn Ceiling Removal is Awesome

We’ve been in the business for decades. Heck, popcorn ceiling was still popular in Toronto at the time we started getting calls to remove it. During the post world war 2 boom, stucco/stipple was a quick way to get a ceiling finished. It was rough and dirty work that caught on as a trend. Nowadays, it’s more of an eyesore, and a possible sign of deeper problems.

The bottom line is that Smooth Ceilings, serving Toronto and the GTA, can help remove stucco ceiling quickly and in a tidy fashion. Our customers appreciate that they can trust us to complete our service on time, on budget, and without a trace of mess left behind.

Swimming Lessons & Aquatics

Private Swimming Lessons & Aquatics in the GTA

It isn’t uncommon to be an adult in the big city area of Toronto and be unfamiliar with how to swim. I’ve come across countless adults who cannot swim. If you’re still shocked by this fact, then you haven’t had enough conversations with real life people.

Learning to swim for many begins in childhood, almost incidentally. For example, if you grew up in Toronto, odds are you were pretty close to the water. This meant beach trips, or pool trips – Either way, water was likely part of the early life education for you…
