Start on the ground.
We look at the ceiling, measure the room and ask what has changed. For an older or unknown material, a test is arranged before any scraping. Testing has its own agreed price.
A little less overhead.
Maple Crossing
Our process
Oqivara is a small ceiling crew in Maple Crossing. We take on individual rooms as well as a few rooms at a time, with one agreed plan for the finish.
We look at the ceiling, measure the room and ask what has changed. For an older or unknown material, a test is arranged before any scraping. Testing has its own agreed price.
You remove small pieces and breakables. We wrap the furniture that stays, put a protective layer and drop cloths over the floors, and cover the doorway. We agree on a path through the house for tools and materials.
We scrape where agreed, patch or skim the surface, then prime and paint. A typical room is out of use for 2–4 workdays for removal and smoothing, or 1–2 workdays for a localized repair. Drying can add a day.
We remove the coverings, tidy the room and review the finish with you. If something about our workmanship needs a closer look, tell us so we can review it.
We work in Maple Crossing Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm. Weekends are closed. Visits are by appointment; a request starts a conversation, not a work date.
