Smooth Finish

What changes after popcorn removal

Modern, updated look

Smooth ceilings immediately modernize your home. Removing popcorn texture creates cleaner lines, reflects light more evenly, and makes living spaces feel larger and more current.

Increase home value and buyer appeal

Smooth ceilings are one of the first things buyers notice. Popcorn ceiling removal is one of the highest-ROI cosmetic upgrades before listing — improving photography, perception, and sale price.

Cleaner renovation experience

Our Festool Planex system with HEPA extraction captures dust at the source. Work is done in finished, lived-in homes with full containment — no dust cloud, no cleanup left behind.

Healthier indoor air quality

Popcorn texture traps dust, allergens, and debris over time. Removing it permanently improves indoor air quality and makes ceilings far easier to clean and maintain.

Richmond Hill

John Seigel

5 stars out of 5

The Popcorn removal was excellent and a very clean process. They also transformed our stairs from boring oak to a much more modern look. They handled repainting of the whole house and replacement of old tile floors with a beautiful new one. There were many additional small tasks which they handled very well. They have design skills if you need them. The house looks great. Very talented and reliable people. I should also say they are very professional providing detailed quotations and billing.

Newmarket

Virginia Coppola

5 stars out of 5

Maxim at Strataline did a very professional job in removing our hallway popcorn/stucco ceiling. The end result was a completely smooth surface and not only that, they totally sealed off the area so absolutely not dust penetrated other areas of the house. Maxim also installed wainscoting and trim work throughout the hallway, stairwell and landing. We would highly recommend their workmanship with very little disruption to the home.

Thornhill

D Kruger

5 stars out of 5

Max of Strataline Inc. did an exceptional job creating 1) a custom inside railing for a winding grand staircase and 2) installing outdoor railings. He even used a 3D printer to create a custom handle for an outdoor railing that had to be installed on a slight diagonal. Max is punctual, neat and very professional. We will be hiring him for additional projects.

Burlington

Mike

5 stars out of 5

We initially contacted Max to remove the popcorn finish on our vaulted great room ceiling. Not only did he do an impeccable job making the ceiling look brand ‘new’, and with no detectable dust left anywhere, but he also re-located some potlights & installed new crown moulding that required meticulous precision due to several odd corner angles that other contactors insisted couldn’t be done. It looked so good we ended up having our main hallway, front foyer, & sunroom ceilings re-done as well.

Mississauga

Maggie and Scott

5 stars out of 5

We’re really happy with how everything turned out. The ceilings look completely smooth now, and the whole process was much cleaner than we expected. Max and his team were professional, showed up when they said they would, and paid attention to the details. It made a big difference in how the house feels.

Burlington

Jefferson Grove

5 stars out of 5

The stair renovation experience was straightforward from start to finish. Communication was clear, the work was done on schedule, and there were no surprises. You can tell Max cares about doing things properly. The finished result speaks for itself, very clean, very sharp.

Markham

Lyn Litvack

5 stars out of 5

Max was great to work with—very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. He walked us through the options and helped us make the right decisions for the staircase. The end result looks fantastic and fits the space perfectly. You can tell the work was done with care.

Natural light cleanup

Bay window ceiling

Textured ceilings are most noticeable in bright, naturally lit spaces. This before and after shows how a smooth finish cleans up the entire room — the ceiling no longer competes with the light coming through the windows.

Room-wide smoothing

Open living area

In larger rooms, popcorn texture makes ceilings feel heavy, low, and outdated. A smooth finish opens the space visually, improves light distribution, and gives the entire room a cleaner, more current appearance.
