Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Remove the texture, skim the ceiling flat, and take twenty years off a room.
Popcorn ceilings date a house faster than almost anything else. We contain the room, remove the texture, repair what's revealed underneath, and skim the ceiling smooth. Homes built before the mid-1980s should be tested for asbestos before removal, we'll tell you when that applies.
What's included
- Full room containment and floor protection
- Texture removal and ceiling skim
- Repair of seams revealed after scraping
- Smooth or light knockdown refinish
- Pre-1985 homes: testing guidance before work
- Full dust cleanup before we leave
How we approach it
- 1
Contain the space
Plastic on doorways, floors covered wall to wall, HVAC returns sealed.
- 2
Remove texture
Ceiling scraped down to the original board and seams.
- 3
Repair and skim
Old seams re-taped as needed, then skimmed flat across the ceiling.
- 4
Sand and clean
Sanded smooth, vacuumed, and left ready for primer.
This is probably you if…
- Your ceilings still have 1980s spray texture
- You're refreshing a house before selling
- You're already repainting and want it done right
