Popcorn Ceiling Removal

What This Service Involves

Textured popcorn ceilings trap dust, yellow over time, and instantly date a home. We contain and protect the room, scrape off the texture, then repair, skim, and prime the ceiling for a clean smooth surface ready to paint. Homes built before the late 1970s may have asbestos in the texture, so we advise testing first and handle the project accordingly. The finished flat ceiling brightens the room and modernizes the entire space.

Benefits

A smooth, updated ceiling that modernizes the room; full containment that keeps dust out of your home; skim and prime work that leaves a paint-ready surface; guidance on pre-1980 asbestos testing for safety; brighter rooms free of dust-catching texture

Our Process

1) Test older ceilings and mask off the room completely; 2) Wet and scrape the popcorn texture from the drywall; 3) Skim, sand, and repair the ceiling smooth; 4) Prime the surface and prepare it for finish paint

What Affects the Cost

Ceiling square footage and room height; whether asbestos testing or abatement is required; condition of the drywall underneath; amount of skimming and repair needed; whether finish painting is included
